Fiber adventures...

Finally I done my alpaca-silk cardigan!

I was so excited to make it. It was made fully by me- I handspun silk and alpaca fiber,and then knit this lovely and very soft and warm cardigan.

The dyed and carded alpaca fiber I bought from my fiber friend Maple,she runs the Northstaralpacas store at Etsy. I met her on Etsy more than year ago,and I am so happy to have so sweet and helpful friend.

This alpaca fiber I spun on my lovely middle sized Turkish drop spindle(it weighs about 30 gramms) ,which my hubby and daddy made to me,they both has they own shop Woodstory at Etsy.
The silk fiber I dyed by my own,I used Jacquard dyes in Periwinkle colour. It is very easy to do,so I will dye more wool and silk in future.
The silk was handspun also on Turkish drop spindle,but for silk I used little spindle-it weighs only 15 gramms. So it is perfect to spin very fine fibers as silk,yak,camel or cashmere. Now I am spinning cashmere,it spins like a dream!

This cardigan was top down knitted,it was second project in my life finished in that way.I never knitted top down,so that was a little challenge to me,because I totally designed it and haven't used any pattern for top down cardigans.

The most great point in this knitting- it has no seams!And when you finish knitting- you already have finished garment:-)

I knit lovely lace pattern at the bottom of sweater and on the end of the sleeves.
This scheme is available here.


Pagaliau aš užbaigiau savo alpakos-šilko megztuką!

Man pavyko jį numegzti pakankamai greitai,neskaitant to,kad siulus šiam megztukui as susiverpiau pati.

Alpakos vilną nusipirkau Etsyje, is labai malonios moteriškės vardu Maple,ji gyvena Amerikoje,Michigano valstijoje.Su ja susipazinau daugiau nei prieš metus,ir nuo to laiko mes viena kitą vadiname pluošto draugemis(angliškai -fiber friend).
Ji turi nuostabią Northstaralpacas parduotuvę kurioje prekiauja jos pačios išaugintų alpakų vilna.Ta vilna tokia švelnute,tiesiog neįmanoma to nupasakoti!

Vilną verpiau pati, Turkišku verpstuku,jį man padarė mano vyras su tėčiu. Tai vidutinio dydžio verpstukas skirtas verpti plono/vidutinio storio siūlą,jo svoris apie 30gramų.

Šilkui naudojau lengvutį Turkišką verpstuką,kuris tesveria kokį 15gramų ir labai tinka verpti tokiems ploniems pluoštams kaip jako ar kupranugario vilna,šilkas ar kašmyras.
Vėliau atidariau parduotuvę ir vyrui su tėčiu kuri vadinasi WoodStory.

Šilko pluoštą dažiau pati,naudojau Jacquard dažus,atspalvį Periwinkle.Jais dažyti vienas malonumas,pigmentas susigeria į pluoštą ir lieka baltut baltutelis vanduo-tinginio džiaugsmas!

Šį megztuką mezgiau nuo kaklo žemyn naudojant virbalus su valu,tai antrasis mezginys mano gyvenime kurį numezgiau tokiu būdu. Jis man nerealiai patiko,negaliu nepaminėti to kad gaminio nereikia siūti! Tas punktas matyt labiausiai mane ir sužavejo,asmeniškai man mezgime bjauriausia dalis yra gaminio susiuvimas:-)

Rankovių bei megztuko apačiai padailinti naudojau man labai patinkantį kiauraraštį.

Man rezultatas labai patiko- minkštutis,laaaabai šiltas ir sukurtas su meile savo pačios rankomis...
