Starting to Knit / Textile Tuesday

Was give an assignment to have in fot next Tuesday. It consists of havin four swatches of 'yarn' ( any materials knitted together ) and a finished neck piece, using ones own yarn, i.e. I plan on mixing wools together.
Everyone was shown various techniques that will be used throughout the course of fashion, shredding, felting, fancy wool (tying knots in wool and knitting with it to give it more texture).
The assessment also includes varies dyed yarns. Using everyday products, not going out to by fabric dye just yet.


Shredding a bedsheet.

I grabbed an old black t-shirt and dunched it into bleach. I plan on using this to knit into my neck piece. A snood. Or else I;ll attempt to knit wire togother and thread the bleached tshirt through it, creating some type of jewellery.

Dyed the bedsheet with indian ink. And used orange hair dye on another piece, which faded to a peachy shade when rinsed out.
