DulciYarn
Sweet Threads from Carol Walker
Here are some pix of my first projects which have been on display (and for sale) at various dulcimer festivals. There will be many more scarves and other DulciYarn projects available at future festivals. (Please check my Calendar page for more information.)
Some items may be available for special order. Please send me an email if you'd like me to make one just for you. Prices vary, but will include shipping. musicladycarol@aol.com
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. Happy browsing!

The "Star of the County Down"
These iridescent colors are luscious! They fairly sparkle in the light, hence the reference to a star shining through a clear night over the emerald Irish landscape. Absolutely stunning! <she says modestly>

The "My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean"
What incredibly vivid blues this contains! The beautiful colorway evokes connections with water; "Bonny" and "Ocean" just seemed to fit perfectly together. Aqua, cobalt, royal, azure -- all blended with a dash of sparkle and shine.

The "Peacock's Feathers"
This photo does not do it justice, but it is a lovely mixture of teal, lavender/violet, and mossy gold (or golden moss). It. Is. Gorgeous! The photo on the right shows four colorways on display with their dulcimer tunes, all ready to go to the next festival. |

|
The "Redwing"
Fiery shades of red, softened with silvery ashes, create a cozy year-round scarf. |
|
The "Gold Ring"
Precious metals abound in this colorway, presenting shades of gold, silver, copper, and bronze. |
|
The "Sandy River Belle"
The clear mountain creek meanders along the sandy bottom, brushing against lichen-covered rocks and tall river grass, on a bright blue summer's day.
The items pictured below were featured and sold at the Nutmeg Festival in October, 2018. Most are available by special order. Please contact me with your questions. Musicladycarol@aol.com

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. |
