Lacy curtain from waste yarn


If you've ever wondered what to do with scraps of handspun yarn here's one solution. This technique was taught by Tracey White. I decided to use it to make a lacy curtain. Below you can see masses of handspun experimental yarn that have been dangled onto a sheet of plastic. It helps if some of the yarn is spun as a single with very little twist.


Here is a closeup.

These two photos are after felting.

The result is quite lovely and a great use for waste yarn.
