A Long Yarn Between Quilts

At the Sydney Quilt Show, Sarah and Kathy came across a colourful range of hand dyed wools from an Australian company called Kaalund Yarns - as they say "inspired by the diverse Australian landscape, Kaalund Yarns brings to life yarn for the discerning hand knitter, embroiderer, and textile artist. Silk and wool in plain and fancy spins are the chosen yarns for the year. Hand dyed in Australia in 25 colours that range from the reds of the desert, the greens of the eucalypt to the blues of the sea, a full colour spectrum is available". Sarah was so inspired by the colours she knitted a new scarf from their "Nimbus" wool (while she was taking a break from quilting). Here is the scarf modelled by the beautiful Madam, shown here very comfortable in her bed with her own special quilt to keep her warm. Sarah is also itching to try out the 100% cultivated silk thread she bought (the "Enchante" range) to hand quilt with. Have a look at the Rainforest colourway...yum, yum. Back to the rotary board.....
