Helemaal buiten mijn comfortzone, want ik spin meestal juist dun en gelijkmatig, volgde ik een workshop corespinning bij Thérèse Akkermans tijdens het wolkamp in Elsloo afgelopen week. Maar wat was het leuk! Nu nog bedenken wat ik met deze streng zal gaan doen. #HandSpinning #ArtYarn #FiberArt #Wool

Today's (quite belated) #grandma recording mainly talked again about her aunt Sophie https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-54, for whom grandma was working during her mandatory social year, when Sophie learned that her husband had died in #WorldWar2 in August 1944. It completely crushed her aunt: She cried for the whole winter. Grandma still got furious about her, when she told me about those days. Grandma got worried about getting married herself one day. She swore herself, that she won't react like this, should she ever be in Sophie's situation. On a previous recording, she had already told me, that grandma didn't, when her husband passed away as well.
Even before the death of her husband, Sophie didn't have it easy. Their marriage apparently was annulled and they had to redo it two years later, because somebody had figured out about their blood-relationship. Before getting married with that husband, she was engaged to somebody, who lost his live a few days before the wedding.
Another story from today's recording, another recurring one, was the one of grandma's spinning wheel, which somehow ended up in the home of her sister, even though that one "didn't know how to spin ... or to swim .. and a driver's license, she also never had."
Since the next recording turned out to be only myself summarizing a phone call I had with her, this recording concludes January 2023. The last January of her life. 380 recordings done, 120 to go.

NZ is one of the wool-producingest countries in the world, and yet the 4ply section of my LYS is stuffed with yarns made in China, Italy, Turkey, and Unspecified - including most of what was identified as NZ wool. A lot just displayed an NZ company address and left everything else to implication.
Even the yarn named NEW ZEALAND MERINO admitted to being 30% Australian merino (different animal welfare standards in Aus). I could only find one 4ply yarn identified as made in NZ from NZ wool.
It just seems so ridiculous to ship our wool overseas to be turned into yarn and shipped right back again. In an emissions-conscious world, how has this become the new normal?

Fresh off the loom: doublewidth throws in integrated plain weave. Still have to fringe, wet finish and brush. Since they are so big, I think I will step on them in the tub to full them.
This is a destash project—which, of course, means I had to buy more yarn to actually do it. 😂 Those stripes are gifted yarns I have had for a couple of decades!
If you don’t see me for a while, I’ll be fringing! 😅

Hand-washed my favourite woollen sweater. Thin denim-blue merino, zipper, cylindrical collar, snug fit. It's too worn to keep repairing, but I still wear it around the house and on walks.

Hard to digest for me as I fell in love with all the options wool offers, when you start looking outside the merino box. But there's at least a glimmer of hope
