Hello friends :) Thanks to all of your kind likes and reblogs, I’m now motivated to update my Tumblr! Here’s a piece from last summer.
Industry-academic collaboration with Tengri http://www.tengri.co.uk Cloth woven on a traditional loom with 100% ethically and environmental-friendly sourced yak yarn from Mongolia
Tengri is a UK-based company manufacturing sustainable, ethical and fair trade (supporting herders) Mongolian yak yarn, knitwear, tailored clothing and much more.
They are recently featured by Selfridges as one of the brands participating in Material World campaign which ‘invite you to unravel the stories behind your clothes and their effect on the world’. I went to look at the range a couple of weeks ago and it was really nice to see such a big store encouraging consumers to question about the materials and impacts of products. Visit their website for more info :) http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/content/material-world/?rd=materialworld
Some of new photographs of BLURRED LANDSCAPE collection from IBAMOTO HONTEN lookbook. All natural fleece colours of Mongoloan yak, British sheep and alpaca. Materials are ethically sourced so animals live happy lives :)
Hey knitters! Ever wondered what strange delights weavers create with Mothy and the Squid yarn? (I did!!) Check out this gorgeous hand woven bag by @nanettewake using our “Flamboyant Sparklefish“ colourway. She posts lovely pictures of her original woven creations on IG and has a beautiful shop on Etsy. #yarn #yarnporn #yarnstash #yarnaddict #yarnstagram #knit #knitting #knitter #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitspiration #knitting_inspiration #knitstagram #mothyandthesquid #etsy #ravelry #sockyarn #sockknitting #operationsockdrawer #knitallthethings #knittersoftheworld #fibreshare #indiedyer #weaver #indieyarn #fibresharetribe #yarnspirations #weaversofinstagram #handwoven #weaving (at Mothy and the Squid)
