#macrame yarn

[kohanakonohana]

先日、梅雨の合間にツタを刈りまして。

染めてみることにいたしました。

I' d gotten japanese ivies during the rest of the rainy season, and tried to dye!

葉っぱだけをアルカリ抽出したつもりが…緑ではない、と。ならば蔓も行けば良かったですかね。葉っぱだけでも赤っぽい色が染まりそうです。

なお、炊いているとベリーのような甘い匂いが漂います・・・甘葛！そうです、大昔このものは甘味料の材料！

I did alkaline extraction only with leaves, but it wasn't green...I might get something red colour. And it smelled sweet like a kind of berries...oh, japanese ivies used to be used to make the sweet syrup in the ancient age ...!

サンプルの生糸。ちょっとくすんでいますが、いいオレンジ。

This is a sample silk yarn. Although it is just smoky, but it's quite lovely orange

お勧めいただいたマクラメ糸・・・も、柔らかいオレンジに。乾いたらどうなるでしょう。

なおこちらの糸、いずれお店で販売します！

And, it is the macrame yarns! It also get soft orange colour, but how it will change after drying...it's curious. And, this natural dyed macrame yarn will be treated my shop in a few days!

[ID: Four photos of two sock-clad feet standing on an aged wooden deck in direct sunlight. The socks are knit from medium grey yarn in an intricate but mostly-solid lace pattern with alternating diamond grids of wrapped ribs and curves of increased and decreased stitches. They're approximately crew-length with a small area at the toes and the heel in stockinette stitch and only a few rows of *k1 twisted, p2* rib at the top extending the final row of the lace pattern. End ID]

Yesterday was my first time wearing this pair of socks I started in April-May last year! They were my first project back after not yarning for about five years--then I drafted my first sewing project mid-2022 (a pocket I finished this October), wove in the ends of a pair of fingerless gloves I'd been using con spaghetti, and cleaned out my old LYS tote with this yarn, a matching gauge acrylic, and my circular needle. And though I've definitely made a pair of socks before (accidental torture devices for their giftee with the sensory specifics of illusion knit soft cotton and wiry wool) I had completely forgotten and got to research all the techniques again. (If you know me, you know that's a sincere "got to." 😄) In April, I frogged half the foot of a first run with a bulkier cable and honeycomb texture combo that I hadn't planned with sufficient negative ease. And in the meantime ended up browsing the crafts shelf at my library; I checked out the two stitch bibles they had for daydreaming at home. Pattern 88 from "250 Japanese Knitting Stitches: The Original Pattern Bible by Hitomi Shida" (there's a slightly newer, prettier cover with 10 more stitches too but I haven't seen it in person to recommend) was both one of my favorites and relatively narrow at a repeat of 18 stitches. So! I swatched it and measured the swatch gently stretched this time; three repeats around was just about perfect, and I ended up doing one 56-row pattern repeat each above and below the heel turn. I had plans for increasing into the calf without breaking the pattern but was nervous about running out of yarn (the last of a mystery wool cone gifted from my psych professor's stash). If I could do it over, I'd probably knit the pair from the inside and outside of the ball simultaneously so I could have slightly taller socks with a wider ribbing cuff, but as is they're staying up way better than I expected. Guess that's the shape-keeping joy of wool!

Spent a good five hours knotting this together today. This is a gorgeous hand dyed wool sock that I have previously used in a hat. I’m hoping this macrame will work well for a bracelet once I beadweave around it 😁
