DulciYarn
Sweet Threads from Carol Walker
Here are some pix of my first projects which will be on display (and for sale) at the Nutmeg Festival in October. There will be many more scarves and other DulciYarn projects available at future festivals. (Please check my Calendar page for more information.) I'll also let you know when items will be available online.
Many of these have been made with hand-dyed yarns or in colorways that can be simulated but never completely duplicated. I'm looking forward to experimenting with more colors and fibers, AND I've even taken the plunge (literally!) into dyeing my own yarn.
Each scarf is named for a well-known dulcimer tune. (Thanks, Toby! xoxo) Happy browsing!

The "Wildwood Flower"
LOVE these colors! Woven with a wool/nylon contrasting combination of light pastels and deep greens, blues, and purples. I was smiling the entire time I worked on this one, and could not wait to see what the next color would be. Too. Much. Fun.

The "Over the Waterfall" (1 & 2)
Presented in two different arrangements, both using the same supple deep blue hand-dyed rayon bouclé, with glints of gold, turquoise, and amethyst. Both have luxuriously long fringe and an exquisite drape and sheen. You will love how this feels! |

The "Blackberry Blossom"
This scarf is made from the same hand-dyed rayon as "Over the Waterfall." It is long enough to wear in a variety of styles, soft enough to drape against your skin, and seasonless in its weight. |

The "Arkansas Traveler"
This is the same wool/nylon yarn as "Wildwood Flower" (above), but in a completely different colorway. These combinations of loden and juniper, interwoven with a tan "camo" yarn would be perfect for fall. |
|
The "Harvest Home"
This most fascinating randomly-variegated wool and nylon yarn, woven over a sienna bamboo warp, presents a unique gradation of oranges, reds, greys, blacks, and tans from end to end. The only problem in working with this yarn was that I was sooo excited about all these colors that I just had to keep on weaving and weaving and weaving.... |

The "Galway Hornpipe"
This is a delightful tweed yarn made with merino wool, baby llama, bamboo, and specks of Donegal, all of which works up into a delicious lightweight finished scarf of cranberry and moss green plaid.

The "Southwind"
This deep rose arrangement of my favorite hand-dyed rayon bouclé ("Over the Waterfall" and "Blackberry Blossom") is presented with the solid color banding random stripes of deep jewel tones of amethyst, sapphire, and emerald. |
