We've been wanting to put some new festive goodies in the Shop for some time now, and collaborating with Deva of Giovelab last summer on the advent calendars, we thought to ask her to create some for us.
We're totally in love with these cuties, they were born as Christmas Tree Decorations, but of course you may hang them on a window pane or wherever you fell to have a cosy knitty corner.
Deva created these little mittens and jumpers out of clay, that was then handpainted.
Please note that they are all different one from another, and so unique !
Each decoration dimensions are 9 x 8 cm ca
We recommend that all yarn is washed by hand. This ensures it’ll be beautiful for as long as possible and will wear well. When you’ve finished your project, dunk it in a sink of lukewarm water – with a no rinse wool wash if that takes your fancy, leave it to saturate for a while, then roll it up in a towel to squeeze out excess water and pin out flat to dry.
As with all textiles and all yarn, sometimes colour can come out. It can be caused by a difference in the water ph used to wash the item, detergents, or an over-saturation of dye that hasn’t quite finished rinsing out.
All of our hand dyed yarn is rinsed by hand in the sink, and each batch is soaked, then individual skeins are rinsed to make sure no colour bleeds. This isn’t foolproof though, and occasionally skeins in darker colours can bleed a little. In case it happens simply put your yarn or finished item in a pan (that you won’t use for food), add water and a generous glug or vinegar or citric acid, and then slowly bring up to heat. It should be simmering but not boiling. Then turn the heat off, put a lid on the pan, and leave it – ideally overnight. You should find that the water is now clear, and all that remains is to rinse your yarn. If the water isn’t quite clear, rinse it anyway – much like with hair dye, there can be excess dye which needs to run off.
