arts and crafts market find

Last weekend, I visited a small local arts and crafts market. Of course I couldn’t resist buying something, this time it was this lovely handspun wool made from merino and alpaca in earth colours. It is too thick for knitting for my taste, but I think it will be OK for couching.

I was so thrilled by my find that I started a project at once instead of just stashing it. as if I don’t already have too many UFOs…. The fabric is a cheap deco fabric from my stash, it is very shiny and has irregular plisse folds. I’m curious if and when I’ll get anywhere with this piece.
