If you like #textiles or #fiberart and are anywhere near #WestYorkshire, I'd heartily recommend checking out http://woveninkirklees.co.uk/

There are 100+ events happening, the vast majority of which are free: workshops, talks, walks, exhibitions, working mill tours...

The #Quilting exhibition includes political craftivism, quilts made collaboratively by local communities, and work by artists - both traditional and abstract. Gorgeous work!

Lots of natural #dyeing and fun repair sessions too.

Some panels on a large, political quilt. The panels, which are beautifully stitched, are about protecting the NHS and people's experience during covid. The first panel on the left lists hospitals at risk of closure, the centre panel is a yarn covid virus cell and the right panel features raised solidarity fists saying "Fight back for our NHS".

A crocheted doily worked in off white crochet thread. The middle of the doily has the image of a skeleton surrounded by decorative borders. The dolly is pinned to a pink board by way of blocking it.

Ok creative types - I need an idea please. I want to crochet a cover for this object that we use as a door stop. What creature or object can I turn it into? We're retired gardener types living in a renovated country church and irony, sarcasm and dark humour are greatly appreciated.

Now guess what we found as plant fibre #music! #Bluegrass, of course!
Sounds perhaps also crazy but our annual Bluegrass Day is an Alsatian tradition with German import.😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A11-oDNb_cs&t=2s Is this already cultural appropriation or sweet revenge for American Oktoberfests? 😎 🤣

Ágnes Herczeg is a Hungarian needle-lace artist who works only with plant-based materials. She is a graduate of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, where she studied textile conservation.

Her techniques include needle lace, pillow lace, and macramé.

This fiber art piece in shades of green, blue and brown thread depicts a woman bending over to cultivate what could be rice.  Her face, hair, arms and legs are in shades of brown.  Her coiled hair is held back with a wide band in the same shades of green and blue as her dress.  The plants are deeper shades of brown and green.

The woman and plants are fixed to a base made from a thin brown stick, and they're woven in a complex open-work design of swirling rows and curves.

my mother recently gifted me my grandmother’s #embroidery #floss collection, and I’m kind of blown away that I didn’t know it existed.

It has #DMC floss with labels so old, I can’t even find reference to them on the internet.

It also has a bunch of Soviet floss, that I’m pretty sure predates the 1961 currency change, based on the prices indicated on the labels.

I want to use it and save it at the same time.

Any spinners have recommendations for which types of plant fibers are best for beginners? I just got a sample pack and will be trying them out myself as well, but I'd love input. I'll be doing a skill share for #spinning soon and want to give attendees who want wool alternatives an easy fiber to work with!

interlocking crochet is fascinating, it involves interweaving 2 mesh layers together so whichever segment is pushed to the front shows up and creates the image. here i made a little swatch to learn the basics.

"So I have my next knitting project picked out. It's perfect for a lot of reasons: reviews say it's easy to knit but not boring, I figured out how to do it with two ombré yarns instead of six single-color skeins, and I already own the pattern. BUT I don't have the right yarn for it," I told my friend.

"What if we knit it together?" she asked. "Then you *have* to buy the yarn!"

A++ friending, would recommend.

recently while crocheting, i was reading a diagram and crocheting along. it felt as though i was a pianist reading musical scores! i marvelled at the brain’s ability to learn a foreign language, one made of unique symbols & rules; to be able to read such graphical patterns in a linear manner, in through the eyes & out through the hands. as if cranking a hole-punched paper strip through a musical box & voilà! out comes something entirely different, music. remarkable isn’t it?

This week in #fiberuary it’s intentional holes week. Here’s a sweater I knit over 30 years ago made from yarn that I picked up at the medina in Tangier, Morocco when I was visiting my parents in my 20’s.

Most people think of open holed knitting as lace, but in bulky yarn, a four rows of garter stitch (two ridges), followed by a k2 tog yo row, then more garter, makes for a strong and textured band of color.

@clacke beautiful. I have always loved #fiberArt, but I can't recall ever seeing it in focus in performance. Humanity has an ancient relationship to knots that, too often, seems forgotten. We are naked without.

#Color #Crochet for #fiberuary

Rainbow is one of my favorite color combinations. Whenever I see them, they just cheer me up and so I have made quite a selection of rainbow colored projects over the years.

Disclaimer: This yarn is from Hobby Lobby, but I didn't buy it. My Christian MIL bought it for her purposes, but she gave up on her project and offloaded the yarn onto me.

It's a nightmare to work with, but it's kind of fluffy, so I put it to use.

Under no circumstances should you give money to Hobby Lobby.
