Artists often consult a color wheel, complementary, secondary, analogous, triads, all acceptable ways to select color combinations.
When I begin a new project, I use a simpler method. I look to nature and my environment. You too can find inspiration for your next weaving project. It's as simple as taking a walk. A neighbor's flowers, fluffy clouds in a blue sky, cracks in a sidewalk, a doorway... stop and look, notice the different colors in a sunset, a flower, a puddle. Choosing colors for your next project just got a lot easier.
Is spinning something you've always wanted to try? Have you been spinning alone and are ready to join our Saturday Spin? Do you need a little help getting the fluffy bits to come together as a usable yarn? Do you need/want more fiber or a Majacraft wheel?
We'll encourage you to finish your projects. You'll enjoy a sense of accomplishment, and enjoy wearing or gifting your hand-knit piece. You can learn proper blocking techniques, or we're happy to do it for you.
I love, to weave, but I really love to take the hand-woven cloth off of the loom, wash it and see it come to life. On the loom the cloth is usually somewhat stiff. Once through the wash and dry cycle, magically it's become something I want to wrap myself in.
Imagine wearing something that you not only sewed yourself, but you actually created the fabric too! You can easily do that this summer. We'll prepare a loom for you, or teach you how. Weave two hours at a time and before you know it, you'll have beautiful hand-woven fabric ready to be transformed into your next favorite top, vest, tunic, shrug...
What will you learn, read, do with these precious summer days.
I've read bucket lists that number from one to one hundred. They're a bit ambitious, not very relaxing or realistic. Add fun to your list, learn something new, finish a project, schedule time with your friends at Three Sheep, relax and enjoy those hazy lazy days of summer.
