Finally had the chance to spin some of my canola field yarn. I was at a crafting group spinning when one of the ladies asked me about all the colours I have in my yarn. I told her the green is for the stems of the canola, the bright yellow for the flowers, the gold Angelina causes a sunlight type reflection, and the orange and red are the shadows.
She was amazed I could put them all together and get something that looked so beautiful. She, and the others, had difficulty imagining how it would actually look in a hooked rug. I will take them one of the Prairie Sky rugettes next week to show them.
I hooked more on the border of Lost Soul. A friend gave me some purple mohair yarn I am going to work into it. Not much, but enough for some texture, especially in tight places.
Great beginnings for planting your canola fields Jean!!
Have you seen the documentary about the Covered Bridge Rug Hooking Project that’s now in the Rug Hooking Museum of North America? It’s a fabulous piece.
