Starting from photos – inspiration for new yarns

Starting from photos – inspiration for new yarns

August 11, 2015

Thank you everyone for the positive response to my ‘yarn based on photos’ project. I am happy to announce that I may have found a good yarn supplier, and if I like the base then I’ll be aiming to have some short runs for sale soon!

In the meantime, I’ve selected some photos for my next batch of experiments. I’m trying to keep it all in Ontario right now, but I’ll be branching out after that into photos that I’ve taken in cities around the world; from Cuzco to Mumbai, Paris to Portland, from the Ring of Kerry to the Andean mountains… this is going to be such a blast!

Excited about the yarn! The frog pic is so cute and a terrific mash-up of greens. You really, really, REALLY need to make cards out of your photos to sell in your shop.

  Thanks Thea! The idea is that I will sell the yarn with a small card of the photo attached :)

Love your new photos, I can see the yarns that I would dye form each photo. Now I can’t wait to see if my vision is anything close to yours! So far I have loved every thing you have done. Thank you, Mary
