Mittens to knit from hand-dyed wool - dyed with natural dyes, mushrooms in fact - available from
riihivilla.com
Is there a book that has lots of images of these gorgeous Mbuti pygmy
barkcloth? Until it comes my way, I'm printing out just one image to start from and refer back to (hoping to settle to a handstitching project) -
When I started this post, this sewing kit was high on my wanted list - since then, it's been the inspiration for my own version(s). Doesn't it look lovely in linen, with the handprinted fabric -
Somewhere in my studio, or in a cupboard, or...?..., I have an old darning mushroom - it would be good to find it, various socks need darning -
