    The Threshing Barn Craft Workshop News and Calendar Summer to Winter 2013 On the Move We have decided to sell the farm and move on to the next exciting adventure (watch this space). The Threshing Barn will be coming with me, so don’t panic you’ll still be able to get your supplies. So would you be interested to follow your dream of running a small holding of 36 acres with the workshop? You could live in a beautiful upgraded Grade 2 listed farmhouse full of old features. In the courtyard are the buildings we have used for the craft workshop with business use planning on. Then there’s the original Threshing Barn ready for conversion subject to planning permission. There are 2 new agricultural barns and secure workshop. We have lived here for nearly 16 years running our vision for a sustainable farm and associated craft business. My children live in Australia, Hong Kong and London and now being a grannie I want to spend more time with them and this is not possible with livestock. Contact us for details of our agents. New Website With the growth of our mail order business the website has been rebuilt on a more user friendly, more informative basis. You still need to phone or email with your questions and orders. The glitches are being ironed out and I thank Pete our website guru for his patience. He now knows the difference between a stick shuttle, a boat shuttle and an end delivery shuttle!!! It has been a marathon on his part, literally as he crippled himself last week whilst running a half marathon, so he’s had time to recover working on our website.

  • 4.3 Characterization Methods for Slub Yarns
    ABSTRACT Jaganathan, Sudhakar. Characterization Methods and Physical Properties of Novelty yarn. (Under the guidance of Dr. William Oxenham) The purpose of this work is to find the characterization methods which quantitatively define the inherent properties of novelty yarn. The research was divided in to two parts. In the first part various instrumental methods and techniques were investigated to characterize the physical properties of the novelty yarns. Various structural properties of gimp and slub yarns were defined and characterized. Instrumental method included CTT Tester, Hairiness tester and a Traveling Microscope. An image analysis algorithm was proposed to measure the size distribution of novelty yarn structural effects. In the second part visual perception of novelty yarn texture was characterized. A texture nomenclature based on the theory of “Textons” was developed. A human psychological survey was conducted to get observers response on texture terms. We proposed various image analysis methods to quantitatively characterize the novelty yarn texture. The image analysis method had good correlation with human psychological response on the novelty yarn texture.

HANDSPUN GALLERY OF Spaced-Out Felted Scarves Editor’s note: This gallery came about when Liz Gipson (managing editor of Handwoven and Knitting Daily TV cohost) came bounding into the Spin-Off office (well, truth be told, she scooted on her chair through the doorway that separates our offic- es) to show me a scarf made with handspun singles and using Jane Patrick’s draft for a Spaced-Out Felted Scarf. One thing led to another—and suddenly (with Jane’s blessing) we were posting a quickie challenge in Ravelry’s Rigid Heddle Group to see what others would do with the same pattern. Several people were able to complete the challenge within the teeny-weeny win- dow of time that we gave them—below are the results! Now Liz is flying off to Cleveland with the scarves carefully packed into her bags so that she can show them on Knitting Daily TV as examples of what people can do with spinning and weaving.

You need yarn, needles, and a few little tools to begin with. After you’ve been knitting for a while, you’ll naturally accumulate more yarn——LOTS more yarn, if you love knitting—— plus more needles and accessories, so don’t buy too much at first. What kind of yarn should you get? And what size and type of needles do you want? This chapter tells you all you need to know to make the right choices. it’s all about yarn One of the most fun parts of knitting is choosing yarn. You may feel overwhelmed when you set out to buy yarn for your first project. Knitting yarns come in so many fibers, weights, textures, and colors that it can be confusing. Take a deep breath, read on, and you’ll get a better idea of what to look for. natural fibers Natural fibers come from animals and plants. Wool, alpaca, mohair, cashmere, and angora are spun from animal fibers, and they’re really warm to wear——and fun to knit with. Certain wools, like Shetland wool, can be scratchy; some, like merino, are nice and soft. Be sure to hold a ball of yarn against your skin to see if you would want to wear something made out of it. It would be a bummer to spend weeks knitting a scarf that is too itchy to wear.
