Rainbow Sweater
The main yarn for this side-to-side cardigan is a single strand of silk and merino that was machine knitted and dyed in one piece. Rayon ribbon stripes were added in the re-knit.
Poppies
This knitted tapestry started with yarn handspun from Polwarth and Polwarth/angora roving. The yarn was reknitted into three blanks and dyed in three colorways: reds and oranges, blues and purples and golds and yellow. The dyed yarn was re-knit by my dear friend, Dana Murphy, on his Passap e6000 knitting machine.
