In February I got this beautiful set of rolags from Magpie & Goblin :o)
I split them into a sort of lighter and darker set and then spun each set into a single. These were really fun to spin and I enjoyed watching the colours change :o)
Jasper helped with plying the end of my bobbin as always and I really liked the finished yarn. I decided to turn it into some placemats for the summer house. I used some thin cotton for the warp.
Making placemats with your kids can indeed be a fun and engaging activity that allows for quality time together. It stimulates their creativity, helps develop their fine motor skills, and encourages them to be more involved in the process of setting the table. Surprising them with details like modest clothing for girls can also bring joy as it promotes their sense of self-worth while aligning with family values. Both activities can contribute to a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for children, fostering their happiness and strengthening family bonds.
I managed to weave 4 small placemats and then used my pin loom to make 4 matching coasters :o)
