In order to combat the unpleasant odors emanating from open sewers, insufficiently bathed neighbors, and, from time to time, the bodies of plague victims, a variety of perfumed goods such as fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, and “sweet bags” were available for purchase. The tradition of offering embroidered sweet bags containing gifts of small scented objects, herbs, or money began in the mid-sixteenth century. Typically, they are about five inches square with a drawstring closure at the top and two to three covered drops at the bottom. Economical housewives could even create their own perfumed mixtures to put inside. A 1621 recipe “to make sweete bags with little cost” reads: Take the buttons of Roses dryed and watered with Rosewater three or foure times put them Muske powder of cloves Sinamon and a little mace mingle the roses and them together and putt them in little bags of Linnen with Powder. The present object has recently been identified as a rare surviving example of a large-format sweet bag, sometimes referred to as a “sachet.” Lined with blue silk taffeta, the verso of the central canvas section contains two flat slit pockets, opening on the long side, into which sprigs of herbs or sachets filled with perfumed powders could be slipped to scent a wardrobe or chest.

When you spin, you put twist into fibres so that they hold together to form a continuous thread. Navajo Plying - Making a three-ply yarn 8. Designed to appeal to the beginning spinner, tips and hints are provided that illustrate how easy, enjoyable, and relaxing spinning can be. When I was in Kenya, women spun Romney wool chiefly "in the grease," but it often locked in large amounts of dirt in the process. Spin spin spin! Covers fiber characteristics, preparation and spinning, choosing a wheel, and crafting the finished yarn into useful and attractive pieces. I Made It!

  • Australian Yarn Weights - Ply & Wraps Per Inch Yarn Is the Most Important Component of Knitting
    Australian Yarn Weights - Ply & Wraps Per Inch Yarn is the most important component of knitting. The qualities of the yarn affect the final product, no matter how experienced of a knitter you are. Of these qualities, yarn weight has the biggest impact, making it vital that knitters understand it when selecting the right yarn for a project. We go into the details below, but we also put this info into an awesome infographic! What Does Yarn Weight Mean? Yarn weight can be pretty confusing, especially if you’re just starting out on your knitting journey. At first glance, you might think that yarn weight is about how much a ball or skein weighs in ounces or grams on a scale. Nope! Yarn weight refers to the thickness of the yarn. It ranges from yarn as thin as sewing thread to yarn thicker than your arm. Some yarn weights are best suited for lace knitting, while others are used for sweaters or rugs. The success of your knitting project depends on selecting the right yarn weight. Understanding Yarns Yarns are made from fibers – plant, animal, mineral, cellulose, and plastic. The fiber composition affects how the yarn knits (such as elasticity and slipperiness) and how your final project appears. Fibers can be combined to create yarn, such as 50% silk and 50% linen, allowing the yarn to inherit qualities from each type of fiber used. How the fibers are processed and spun impacts the final yarn weight. Yarn Structure When fiber strands are twisted together, yarn is created. This process of twisting fibers is known as spinning.
