I made this hat using 100% handspun wool and it was knitted up in a 2x2 ribbing to make it extra stretchy. How did I do?

Just finished up these 3 memory bears that were a little bit of a challenge but I think they turned out fantastic! The Prince of Darkness bear ended up being my favorite to make 🖤🖤.

Eccentric learned a new skill! Sewing memory, keepsake, or themed bears! The blue bear was made from two onesie that were over 2 decades old. The ducky birth weight keepsake bear was made using babys hospital blanket. Standard bears start at $45 and weighted bears start at $65.

Check out how fuzzy this yarn is! But believe it or not it's actually not yarn, it is what we in the industry call selvage or mill-ends. In other words it's waste from a big mill that instead of throwing it in the landfill sells it to crafters. And it makes such pretty rugs! Selvage and mill-ends are also your words of the day.

Fabric tip

A good fabric shaver is a small tool that makes a big difference. Here’s why it deserves a spot in your drawer this fall:

1️⃣ It breathes new life into old clothes: remove pills and fuzz to refresh sweaters, scarves, and coats.
2️⃣ It’s surprisingly versatile: works on wool, cotton, blends, even furniture and blankets.
3️⃣ It’s oh-so-satisfying: trust us, de-pilling a sweater is the ASMR you didn’t know you needed.

Pro tip: Choose a mid- or higher grade model: a shaver with 6 blades or more and a wide head will lead to faster, gentler results.

Care for your wool, and it’ll care for you.
