Item details
A very warm welcome to Elflock Woolworks at Waney Grain. I'm Karen and I'm a free-style experimental knitter working with luxurious yarns that feel silky-soft against the skin.My husband, Nick, is a woodturner and he is the Waney Grain side of this Folksy shop.
I love the individuality of hand-spun, hand-dyed art yarns, and I particularly like the fluidity of textural changes as I work these yarns on my needles.
I had some yarn from two tremendously imaginative independent dyer/spinners waiting to be worked. They were both described as ‘Art Yarns’ but were as different in profile as you can imagine! In a moment of inspiration I decided to bring them together in one piece. Convention dictates that we knit uniform gauge yarns at a constant tension to prevent distortion and wobbly edges. But I’m a free knitter, and this gives me the freedom to work eccentric yarns, ‘listening’ to the fibre alignments that the spinner has created, and working reactively, slowly and with respect as I craft every precious stitch.
These two yarns, one peonies and pastels, the other emeralds, citrines and amethysts have blended to form a thrilling Pollockesque splash-fest with fluttery locks and nubbly fluff-tufts.
Utter pleasure!
