If a person is inclined toward making lovely skeins with their homespun, this is the way to go… I personally have used a niddy noddy for the short length of time that I have been spinning, but have seen so many others using the yarn swifts that I have thought I might like to use one. No […]
My long blogging pause is over and I am so tickled about that… So… what’s been going on? Back during the last of June, I had DH help a bit and made a spindle… from a dowel and a toy car wheel purchased at Hobby Lobby. The purple blend of yarn is the part of […]
This has been a real adventure here at Fabric Follies. Never in my 50+ years did I ever dream that a little fun on a daily basis would bring over 1000 hits a day and some lovely email friends! This year began early on with surgery and later on with placement of a heart […]

Elizabethan Blackwork has wonderful (and I do mean wonderful) patterns on several pages of her site. Here is another site with many fill in patterns for sleeves, collars, scarves…whatever you would like […]
This is a blue rose fading around the egg until it is almost white. It is one of my favorites. I have posted several of the eggs I have been doing lately, but still have many more that will be posted later. These are such fun to do … Have a look…
I continue to be fascinated with this centuries old and almost forgotten technique. I have learned today that this stitch is called the Korgen stitch. It is one of my favorites. The mitten I made turned out really bad..grin So … no pics! But I will try again since I think I have figured […]
What a wonderful idea! I was surfing through my early morning blogs and found a post re: Vox on Sharon B’s blog… had to go look… began to surf to see if there were many fabric sites… found this! It seems the Japanese government is encouraging it’s population to use fabric as gift wrap […]
