um... to be clear... this isn't anything. it's not a tapesty, not a scarf... it's nothing useful. a sampler is just a thing that you make to learn some techniques.

sampler or not, it's seriously cool =) do you use just any old yarn?

devious said...

thanks guys!! :)

aim: you can just use any old yarn i suppose... but at the tapestry studio they use very high quality pure wool, so that the colours don't fade and the fibres don't degrade. want me to teach you how at Christmas? it's not hard, just takes patience and attention. and as you can see, it's pretty lo-tech.
