#Sari Silk

[ezekiellsplayground]

Massive disappoint and frustration. When I was finishing this handspun I noticed that the purple colour was bleeding A LOT in the cold water washes.

Bleeding yarn is bad as any wool you knit with it will get bled into the next time you wash it. So I attempted to fix the issue. Hot vinegar baths set the purple but did nothing for the red bleeding…so I went hardcore with RIT dye fixative…which did nothing, meanwhile the white parts of the yarn were getting more and more purply-pink!

I gave up & contacted the fibre club about it, as I certainly don’t expect to pay for spinning fluff that bleeds this bad, especially when their response indicated the bleeding issue from the sari silk neps in their fibre/yarn was known. They were very nice about negotiating a rectification though which was nice.

Sprinkly Wrinkly is nice to spin but probs better for someone who does art yarns. It's made of merino, tencel, sari silk, and stellina (that's the glittery stuff) and I can draft it easily except for the silk bits (think it's the silk anyhoo). Those bits get a bit slubby with me.

(Hmm, you might not be able to see it there. Meh.)

Could look really interesting when I ply it. If there's enough (bought 100g so there should be) I think it'll make an awesome earwarmer/headband thingy. XD

New Spins

I have a lot of sari silk, and I’ve been finding ways to put it to good use: mixing it with wool and alpaca. Its really cool material, it goes very far. It’s a recycled/upcycled product to begin with, and I’m still discovering how to work with it. My recent yarns are 2 very different approaches. The first is a single, worsted weight, composed of my home processed, hand dyed wool, carded up with…

Recycled sari silk and silver threaded hoop earrings, just for something different. As these are hand wound each pair is completely unique.

Doing the bare minimum for Textile/Fashion Worldbuilding by asking "what if there was a long strip of fabric-?"

Rich or poor, leisurly or doing hard labor, on the moons of Saturn it's very common to have a sash as part of your outfit, which can be worn a number of ways- although it's not typically long or wide enough to wear as THE main part of the outfit

I lost the bobbin cover for my sewing machine so I can't use it until a new one comes in the mail. IN the meantime, I've been hand sewing everything for this "practice" jacket, which I'm making in preparation for the real jacket which will be made from wool I spent $180 on. This has four fucking layers, lol. There's the outer layer, the interlining (made from a lovely Hulk-themed flannel I bought just to use for mock-ups, so I didn't mind sacrificing it as interlining), the silk lining, and another fabric to strengthen the silk, since it is THIN (makes sense, considering it was from damaged sari silk fabric I found on ebay; no need for warm or strong fabric in 115F weather lol). Because the silk is so thin, I've been hand sewing it to the interfacing fabric along the edges as a way to keep it all from fraying.

my hand sewing is not pretty but it gets the job done. And like I've said, it's weirdly meditative.

The real jacket will be knee length with a capelet, so it uses a ton of fabric. I didn't want to use 6 yards of fabric to make a practice jacket, so this one is only hip-length.

This is the coat I will eventually be making. I had to do a lot of fucking around with the mockup to get it to fit right. Always do mock-ups before you cut anything, lol.

Still in tidy-up mode. Very reluctantly, I’ve added one of my favourite ongoing spinning projects to Etsy: recycled sari silk sourced from Fibrehut, currently in purple, red and gold colourways. I have blue on my spindle right now; it may end up on Etsy too, if I don’t get a tableloom before anyone clears me out of this.

Let me know if you’re interested and have any questions.

Banarasi silk saris flourished in Varanasi, India since the 16th century. Weavers in the city are working to keep the tradition alive by weaving intricate designs with gold and silver zari threads on handlooms that are over 200 years old.
