Secret Stash Club Crochet: Starfish Stole

A celebration of both colour and texture, bring a burst of sunshine to the heart of winter with this month’s Secret Stash Club sample, the Starfish Stole. Crafted in the radiant colourway for February, Fuzzy Peach, each stitch showcases the vibrant hues. A joyful blend of golden yellows, soft peaches, and hints of sun-kissed orange, the effect is reminiscent of ripe summer peaches. Or, the nostalgic sweetness of classic “Fuzzy Peach” candies! Lightweight and soft, it’s a versatile accessory that adds a cheerful touch to any outfit.

THE FUZZY PEACH COLOUR STORY

For our February Secret Stash Club, we wanted to send out a joyful and juicy colour. A colourway with subtle shifts in hues of orange, yellow, and gold that brightens these deep winter days. Inspired by ripe summer peaches right off the tree, orange, yellow and gold shades can be a challenge to dye. However, the SweetGeorgia dye team hit this right on the nail with a gorgeous, light peachy gold.

The open, lacy stitch pattern of Starfish Stole by Jill Wright creates a beautiful, airy fabric that drapes effortlessly, making it perfect for layering through the changing seasons.

Crocheted by Charlotte Lee, this pattern is a combination of chain stitches tacked down by single crochet stitches. It may look intimidating, but it is a quick and easy project to make. We love the pairing of this design for how it plays with the variation in this month’s Club yarn. Wrap yourself in colour, joy, and a little bit of sunshine with this special crochet project!

Three Fundamental Weave Structures (And Why You Need To Know Them)

Image
Do you find yourself fondling fabrics? Touching textiles? Daydreaming of a home or wardrobe featuring your very own handwoven fabrics? How would you go about choosing fabric for your cushion, chair, or skirt, let alone design that fabric yourself? If  form follows function , then let’s start to read our fabrics and understand how different weave structures give us the characteristics we want. Warp and Weft, Under and Over We can define weave structures by the ways the threads pass over and under each other. The  warp  is what is on the loom under tension and runs vertically in the cloth. It is lowered and/or raised to form sheds. The  weft  is what we throw through the open shed and beat in pick-by-pick. The weft runs horizontally in the cloth. The warp runs vertically in the cloth; the weft runs horizontally. Each time the weft and the warp travel from back-to-front or front-to-back of the cloth, they interlace and form a binding point. These interlacemen...

Plying Tips for Handspun Yarn Success

Image
WHAT is Plying? Plying is when bobbins containing handspun singles are removed from the wheel, placed on a lazy kate, and then subjected to more twist.  To achieve a balanced yarn, more twist is added in the opposite direction of the first twist. This is not always the case, however. Some designer yarns add the second twist in the same direction as the first twist. This article is a review of some of the key aspects of plying handspun for balanced yarns using a spinning wheel. Transforming handspun singles into multi-ply yarn offers numerous benefits. WHY Ply? Many factors come into play when choosing whether or not to ply my singles. To give you some food for thought, here are just a few considerations I use in my own practice: Give a Yarn Strength The more plies, the stronger the yarn. Unless I want a dense fabric, I usually weave with singles or 2-ply yarns. Multi-ply yarns are good for strong rug warps or fabrics requiring densely packed weft yarns. One way I...

How To Knit a Tubular Cast On

Image
The tubular cast on is an invisible cast on that’s great for hems cuffs and ribbing edges, where you want to have a bit of elasticity. We have both video and written instructions available in this post. Let’s get started! Print How To Knit a Tubular Cast On Author Tabetha Hedrick Equipment 1 Scrap yarn (smooth) 1 Knitting (working) yarn 1 Knitting Needles 1 Scissors Instructions Tubular Cast On Setup Now, to begin, you're going to want to cast on approximately half of the number of stitches that you need, minus one. For example, if the pattern calls for 77 stitches, you're going to cast on 35. If the pattern calls for 19 stitches, I'm going to cast on 10. With your waste yarn, work 4-5 rows in stockinette stitch, ending at the end of a right-side row (you'll be ready to work a wrong-side row in the next part). Cut your waste yarn.
