The Yarn Place is extremely pleased that
the Gossamer Webs, Orenburg Lace Tour traveled to our shop.
|
|
Workshop focus:
Square shawl. The provisional cast-on
which is later removed so stitches can be picked up and knit
in the other direction fascinated me. Although the class focused
on the square shawl, all three patterns were packaged together
and students were able to make all three after taking the workshop.
|
Workshop materials:
Fingering weight (7 - 8 sts/in) or
superfine yarns were used for practicing the samples during
the workshop. K1C2's Douceur and Douceur et Soie, both ideal
for making a gossamer lace shawl, were also available. Douceur
is available in hanks and is a hand-dyed ombre; Douceur et Soie
is the same yarn in a wide range of solid colors. Both are the
same mohair / silk combination ideal for Orenburg lace. The
silk gives the more fragile mohair the strength possible to
spin it out into such delicate strands while still being workable
and tough.
