November 12, 12 //
Comments Off

It is that time again!! Time for YOU to decide the inspirational images for the next round of Yarn & Classic Fiber & LUXE Fiber Club colourways!

For those new to the group – here is the short explanation:
Everyone shares fabulous photographs with the group, everyone votes for their favorites, and by Monday, November 26th – I have three images to use as colourway inspirations for the next three months of Club – plus one of my choosing for the four month!

There are some rules and guidelines, but they are simple:

Dates for image submission:
November 12th – 18th

Theme for this round:
‘Art Appreciation 101′ – Think old masters like Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt as well as new and fabulous artists that I cannot even begin to name! What is your favorite painting, print, mural, mosaic, finger painting?! If you need some ideas, feel free to check out the ITW Pinterest Collection

The Rules:
1. Share only ONE picture per post.
2. There is no restriction on the number of images you may enter.
3. Do **NOT** use the Disagree button.

The details:
On Monday, November 19th I will close the thread to new entries and ask that folks vote for their favorite images with the click of the LOVE button. Love as many as you wish!

Votes will be tallied on Monday, November 26th and the top THREE winners will be announced! Those three images (in no particular order) will be the source of inspiration for the December, January, and February Yarn & Classic Fiber & LUXE Fiber Club colourways.

In addition to the three images chosen by club members a  fourth image will be chosen by yours truly and used at any point for the ‘Dyers Choice” colourway!!

New Rule aka the ‘Turquoise Rule‘
Should the winning images *all* share a colour theme (like the same predominate colour) – I reserve the right to choose alternate inspiration images as needed.

The prizes:
The individuals responsible for posting the winning images will each receive a four ounce braid of the fiber or yarn created in their colourway the month it is released!

The day has arrived! Finally! I am no longer bound to a five month long secret. Folks, today, the cat is out of the bag!! Today I am delighted to share the details on a collaboration project between Into the Whirled and Jonathan & Sheila Bosworth of Journey Wheel! Be warned: Read quickly and act even quicker for there are only a limited number of these pairings available for sale…

Details of the fiber & spindle package:
Fiber: Two ounces of 80/20 Superfine Merino & Cashmere blended top
Colourway: Chromatic Composition
Spindle: English Boxwood Mini with 9″ Tulipwood shaft

Comments from Sheila on English Boxwood:
This soft buttery English Boxwood has a smooth touch and an interesting and subtle wavy grain. In Jonathan’s earlier life, he used these English Boxwood logs to make Baroque oboes; now they are beautiful spindles.

ITW Fiber Club – Call for Fall inspiration!!

July 13, 11 //
1

I dawned on me the other day that I REALLY enjoyed the “Inspiration” format for the club fiber. While I love looking to the current collection of images being assembled as a source of colourway inspiration, something is missing. And then I realized what it was…

It is both the camaraderie and the challenge presented by creating a palette based solely on the input of the collective opinion of YOU! It is after all your fiber club.

That being said, I would like to propose the following:

From today until August 22nd I ask that folks submit their favorite pictures for colourway consideration. Please be sure to post one picture per post. Please note that there is no restriction on the number of images posted.

On the 22nd I will close the thread to new entries and ask that folks vote for their favorite images with the click of the LOVE button.

Votes will be tallied on Monday August 29th and the top THREE winners will be announced! Those three images (in no particular order) will be the source of inspiration for the September, October and November Fiber Club colourways!!

As we have done in the past – the individuals responsible for posting the winning images will each receive a braid of the fiber created in their colourway!
