Module 5–Chapter 9–Threads and Sitchery


A collection of white and neutral coloured threads. My favourite yarns to collect are natural cottons linens and silks. I find them a joy to touch, feel, smell, and to stitch with. I'm also tempted, by and attracted to fancy, fluffy, bobbly, stingy, hairy and metallic synthetic yarns. I don't find them as rewarding to handle, and stitch with, but they can be tantalizingly beautiful when used with consideration.

I chose lazy daisy stitch (or detatched chain) and chain stitch to further experiment with making marks by varying patterns, size,spacing, tension and thread.
