A lovely weekend at Dorset’s Ancient Technology Centre for a fantastic Heritage Textiles course hosted by Castle Hill Heritage! We looked at textiles and their production methods from the Palaeolithic to the Industrial Revolution!

So, finally I'm participating in the lace rot!!

I bought a sprang bag kit long ago, and today I set up "loom"

I'll be using this yarn:

Felted Tudor flat cap fail..

I did my knitting math right and wrong. The hat band fits, but the hat itself is not the right proportion. I had to felt it because the hat band was too large without felting. I attempted to adapt the pattern to fingering weight yarn, from aran weight yarn, but obviously I made some mistakes.

I will try again. In the meantime, I have to figure out what to do with my handmade felt.

I found this youtuber called Sally Pointer and I think if you haven't seen her content already you might find it really cool or helpful!!

Wow, you're right, I do find it cool! I looked her up on youtube and she's making a lot of content of historical skills to create threads, textile, baskets, netting, bags and all sorts of useful skills! Here's a link for anyone interested: Sally Pointer
