Received from Kristina in Germany, June 2012.
Kristina writes to me that even when she was a little girl she has always been impressed by exceptional fibers, structures and techniques. She has always been knitting, crocheting and crafting.
She likes working with paper, linen, straw, crepe yarns, silk and wool.
If you want to see more of Kristina’s work you can find it here.
A beautiful sample with linen and overspun wool. Very pretty!
The card is full of the yarns Kristina likes to work with: Italian silk crepe, silver thread from Japan, Shifu –paper thread, straw, horsehair, llama –dyed with onion and homespun, paper thread from Japan.
A sample of towels with pep-border and homespun linen in the weft.
A sample of a mixed warp with inlay.
The weft is homespun soy silk and cotton. I’m impressed by all the homespun yarns Kristina makes and uses in her weavings.
I like the softness and the simple complexity in the inlay. A very beautiful sample.
Photos of woven textiles where the weft is straw.
Dear Kristina, thank you so much for your letter to me. The white sample in homespun soy silk is hanging in my studio.
