It was a beautiful day at the Museum of Farming, Murton, just outside the city, where the Guild meet and I had a group of 9 spinners keen to look at yarn design. They all brought a lovely picture for inspiration and lots and lots of fibres. The idea is that each spinner uses a picture that inspires them with regard to colour and texture and they learn a range of "fancy" yarn techniques that could be used to produce a range of yarns.
It was such a busy day that I forgot to take photographs of the amazing yarns that were produced, but two of the spinners sent me images of their yarns, for which I'm grateful!
This is the image that Bev Baldry used to inspire her yarns.
The two images below are the same picture with the two yarns Bev produced to be used in her lounge where the picture hangs. Bev captured the texture of the deep plum flowers in the top picture and the softness of the misty sections in the lower image.
The image below shows Jean Stother's image and yarns that were inspired by it.
