As part of my final project I wanted to develop my spinning skills, throughout this unit I have been using wool, I decided to try spinning bamboo as it doesn’t contain lanolin and can be quite slippery and difficult to spin increasing my skill base. Also to try experimenting with fibres that are kind to skin and suitable for allergy suffers.
I spun a single yarn and dyed the yarn using acid dyes, creating a beautifully silky black yarn and knitted the yarn into an Aviator hat as I wanted to use the hat when driving .
This hat was very popular I have orders for 1 more hat and an order for more bamboo yarn for a customer to knit the hat herself.
