How does pi shawl shaping work? The geometry of pi shawls is only possible because of the stretchiness of knitting. That is, the ratio between the diameter and the circumference is constrained by math…
At the 51st annual Maryland Sheep and Wool festival, six teams have three hours to shear a sheep, spin the wool it into yarn, then weave those threads into a showstopping shawl.
We go over the process of sheep to shawl, creating your own shawl from it's start as raw fleece to a finished piece.

Make them in neutral or bold colours, from soft cotton or silk yarn to match the rest of Mama’s wardrobe.

Kachchh’s Finest handwoven treasures, brought you direct from their makers.~ PRODUCT SPEC: Here folks you see before you a handmade gem from Arun’s finest Raw Fiber Shawls, local sheep shawl which is produced once a year during winter months. The yarn is hand spun, hand dyed using natural dyes and low impact dyes. This shawl is made from Patanwadi sheep wool which has a distinctive texture, you may find it is coarse to the touch due to the nature of the homegrown wool which is also known to be super warming during winter. The yarn is hand spun on one of Arun’s pit looms, it creates a beautifully irregular surface and this is another set of characteristics that makes it so unique. The size is; 100 x 210 CM approx ~ THE STORY: A master weaver at a young age. Only 24, Arun shows off an amazing traditional handloom collection with creative flair based on skills passed on from his father and elder brother, Kachchh, India. Arun started learning and applying new skills at a very young age. Then went on to study further in 2015 at a handloom school in Maheshwar for 3 intensive months. Arun continued to refine his skills professionally by creating special wool “Dhabla” (blankets). He has gradually expanded into working with a variety of fibres such as many forms of wool, cotton, silk and linen yarns and creates unique shawls, stoles, scarves, woven fabric, saree and much more. ~ You can show your support by making one of these beautiful handmade gems yours.~ CARE SUGGESTIONS: Handwash separately in lukewarm water using a gentle liquid detergent.

I finally made a fringe twister myself. I have been traveling around to sheep and wool festivals, and no one sells fringe twisters. You can twist the ends of your weaving or knitting projects by hand. My good friend and weaver, Rosie, has a battery operated twister, but taught me the simple procedure. Hold your work flat on a table with book on it or between your knees or pinned to your trousers to steady the weaving. Smooth out your ends and separate the first 4 threads on one side. (If you have an extra thread later, just add it to two threads to make a twist of 3). You take two threads between your thumb and pointy finger and twist them together in one direction till they start to buckle holding the twist with your other hand. Hold the ends of these between your ring and pinkie finger and take the next two threads and twist them together in the same direction till they buckle. Now take the two newly twisted sets of threads and twist them together in the opposite direction. They will form a nice little rope and you can knot the end so it stays. Licking the end of your threads helps a lot. Move across your piece. Keep in mind, I am not a carpenter, electrician or joiner. I also do not know how to solder, but soldering would be so much better I think! This one does work though! To make the yarn twister above, you need: two alligator clips, Walmart automotive section or Radio Shack with hollow stems, two large electrical staples, Home Depot electric supply, two blocks of wood, 3/4" x 1" by 3" (the above are a little smaller, but a little too tight for my fingers) two beads with large holes for ends 8 tiny washers, Home Depot, 1/8" holes Gorilla or two part epoxy glue You also need a drill with 1/8" bit and a vise. You need to drill holes in the wood blocks, centered 1-1/4" apart, making sure the two blocks of wood line up with each other. A drill press is much better than a hand drill as the holes will be straight and line up better. Carefully glue washers on both sides of your holes on each block. I used a vise to clamp my electrical staple into and twisted one leg of each staple around with a hammer. I then had to put the whole staple back in the vise and clamp and hammer till both staples were lined up perfectly flat and even with each other. This is very important for them to move together later. Assemble to wood blocks and make sure they move before you attach the alligator clips and beads. I assembled the gadget as above and glued the alligator clips on one end and the beads on the other end. Leave a little room next to each washer. That's it! To use, simply clip two threads in one alligator, and two threads in the other alligator. Grasp the two blocks between your thumbs and pointy fingers and rotate in one direction. Remove two twisted sets and clip both into one alligator and rotate in the other direction. So much faster! Have fun, be creative!

We just finished competing in the Estes Park Wool Market Sheep to Shawl Competition! It was so fun and even though we didn't win, we loved every minute of it. Sheep to Shawl is a competition where you take a raw sheep fleece and card, spin, and weave it into a finished shawl in 5 hours. It is extreme fiber arts. The basic rules are you have to use an un-dyed, local sheep fleece and can add in up to 10% of another local un-dyed animal fiber. You can wash your fiber ahead of time and spin enough to warp your loom, but that's it - the rest of the work is done the day of the competition in 5 hours. There are 5 team members and 1 alternate. You must present the judge with a blocked shawl (it can be damp). Shawls are judged on all aspects of the event: fiber prep, spinning, design, weaving, and public interaction and education. It is probably no surprise to blog readers that we choose to use a Shetland fleece for our shawl. Shetland wool is fine and soft, yet strong, making it ideal for handspinners, weavers and knitters. They have great personalities and we fell in love with them as soon as we first met the lambs of Pinon Wood Ranch. Peg and Woody of Pinon Wood Fibers have been breeding and showing Shetland sheep in Norwood, Colorado for over 5 years. Butch Cassidy, the Shetland ram that provided our fleece, is a grey Grand Prize ram of the Pinon Wood herd. The fleece is an exceptionally fine example of Shetland wool. Peg and Woody also raise alpacas so we used black alpaca from their farm as the contrast fiber in our shawl. We chose to weave our shawl on a triangle pin loom, using the technique known as continuous strand weaving. Continuous strand weaving can be done on a pin loom of various shapes and sizes to include rectangle, square and triangle. We love the look and wear of triangle shawls so the triangle loom was a natural choice for us. Since there is no warp on a pin loom, we were literally starting with just the fleece, and spinning the entirety of our yarn in the 5 hour time limit. We chose this type of weaving to demonstrate one of the many possibilities for weaving. Pin looms are a very accessible form of weaving—they are easy and affordable to construct with basic materials found at your local hardware store. They are compact, making them easy to store and use in smaller spaces. You can make them in any size desired, as well as graft finished pieces together to create interesting designs. We love the efficient use of yarn. There is no waste allowing a weaver to indulge in precious yarns. The warp and weft of the cloth are created via one continuous strand of yarn, making it a less daunting endeavor for new weavers. It also allows one to see their work as they weave, allowing color transitions on the go. Once the competition began, it was card, card, card! As soon as we had a Shetland and alpaca batt ready, team members started right away on spinning. We needed to get our weaver her yarn to get started as soon as possible! While 3 team members were spinning away (and plying!), the weaver and 1 other team member continued to card wool. We had two fine cloth drum carders to use, one for alpaca and one for Shetland, so we didn't have to bother with cleaning between batts. Part of the competition judging category is on public interaction and education. We believe strongly in educating the public on heritage breeds of sheep and why we love using their wool. To assist us, we had the help of Nessie, a 3 month old Shetland lamb from Pinon Woods Ranch. Nessie is a great breed ambassador, greeting kids and adults alike for 3 hours! We also wanted to educate the public on the pin loom. We love this simple little loom that is so affordable and easy to use. We had a mini version on hand and our team alternate, Rose, taught people of all ages how to weave on this magical little tool. We spun a worsted weight 2-ply out of both our Shetland and alpaca for this shawl. We did a pretty tightly twisted ply. The end result is a beautiful springy yarn. We spun enough for the shawl as well as fringe, which was a nice way to finish the shawl. Towards the end of the competition, our spinners had enough yardage plied up to finish the shawl. From there on out it was up to our weaver, Alsn, to weave as fast as she could! The spinners helped by adding fringe as she went to make sure the shawl was finished the same time she was done weaving. Sadly, we didn't finish on time. We were 10 minutes late with our shawl. The good news is that teams are given a half hour grace period so as long as you get your shawl turned in by the end of the grace period, you are still eligible for all awards except for 1st prize. We quickly and aggressively blocked our shawl (the Shetland blooms so nice!) and dried it as much as possible before turning it in. In the end, we made a stunning shawl. The Shetland is surprisingly soft and the yarn bloomed beautifully. The triangle shape is so flattering to wear and the black alpaca created an interesting and beautiful windowpane plaid. We got last place. The judge admitted that the EPWM Sheep to Shawl judging criteria favors shawls woven on harness looms, which are the more common looms used to weave fabric. Because of this, we lost a lot of points in the weaving category. We tried to break down barriers and introduce a unique and accessible form of weaving to the Estes competition, but you can't win 'em all. Unfortunately, the Estes Park Wool Market Sheep to Shawl competition may not accept tri-looms in the future, but we are so glad we were able to compete this once and bring more awareness to this type of weaving. It was an awesome experience and one we'd gladly do again. The winning team, the Noddy Ladies made a beautiful shawl and were super sweet as we competed next to each other all day. Congrats, Noddy Ladies! Nice work, Team Fancy Tiger. We ♥ you!

Little People Patterns Peg Doll Mama Spring or Autumn Shawl Crochet Pattern If your Little People like playing with Peg Dolls, they will love this sweet spring or autumn shawl for Mama from our Peg Doll Accessories Collection. Make them in neutral or bold colours, from soft cotton or silk yarn to match the rest of Mama’s wardrobe. The idea for this shawl for Mama came about after a friend had asked me to create hats and a sling in different sizes for her Peg Dolls. She was planning to sell them with her handmade timber houses at one of upcoming the Waldorf/Steiner school festivals and needed them done quickly. In all honesty, I got into a bit of a frenzy making hats in all kinds of colour variations. I really do like how simply using different kinds of colour combinations additional to using stripes or just a rim for the hats can change the look and feel of the Peg Dolls. However, I wanted to create something even more… After all, if Peg Dolls wear hats and nothing else, won’t they get a bit cold around the body? By the way, if you would like a pattern for making those hats in all different sizes, you can find a tutorial here and a downloadable pdf in either US or UK terms here. Anyhoo, I felt some sort of clothing was needed for balance, so I designed a Mama shawl. If you prefer a download for the shawl pattern, there is a pdf version available in the shop for a tiny contribution towards the Black Sheep Project. The download is available in US or UK terms. Each version contains a printable version (without pictures) and a photo tutorial with step-by-step written and visual instructions. Get the Pattern (US Terms) …

Asterism has plenty of relaxing garter stitch and delicate eyelet details that add interest and lightness to the shawl. The shawl begins with just one stitch and is knitted on the bias to the opposite edge, creating an asymmetric triangle shape. The simplistic beauty of Asterism makes it a versatile and wearable accessory for any outfit. YARN One skein of Hedgehog Fibres Sock (90% merino, 10% nylon; 400 m / 437 yds per 100 g).

Finally got around to blocking this. I must confess I wore it a bit before blocking. It NEVER fails to amaze me how much better things look once they are blocked. This was about a 4.5 foot setting on my Triloom. The weaving took very little time and was tons of fun. The knitting took a bit longer than I expected...but was quick for me. This is a great way to use up some bulky yarn you love but don't have enough for a full size shawl. I used worsted weight for the border but DK would work... Possibly even sock. This is a picture prior to blocking
