Knitting O 'the Green
Not before the last chocolate has been popped in our mouths and the roses were hung out to dry, St. Valentine steps aside for St. Patrick as green takes over from red to celebrate the milestone on the calendar next commercial. Shamrocks are everywhere, even if their signature emerald green is not fully compatible with the range of fashion today, which focused more avocado, pear and lime shades - a yellow-green with a lot more ownership in blue. As well, green has become a symbol of the strongenvironmental movement seriously and is designated by the political parties, coalitions and planet-saving products.
Concern for the environment in our everyday lives has finally found his place. Recycling is a good thing and has become a regular practice. Just a few years ago we did not think for a moment to throw a can in the trash. Now, a stab of guilt is felt when we take the container of juice strange non-recyclable. Of course, our natural resources to be, Enjoyed the talent and you can squeeze a little more value from the gifts of nature.
Our business shirt gives us the opportunity to contribute to the recycling movement. Flea market and turnover day may be tried "gently" used goods. These garments, when natural fibers (although moths), the opportunity finally groped for a walk or felting project. If you can not wear labels for fiber content, rapid test burn easily see showthough the yarn is made from natural fibers or artificial. A sink or bowl of water, take a six-inch length of wire and with a match to light one end, so that you burn for half an inch. Drop the flame and cool the burned controls. If at the end of a hard lump is burned, is a synthetic yarn. If you are able to erode the area burned between his fingertips, is certainly a natural wool fibers.
Once the fiber has been identified as a natural fiber produced from animal sources, most commonlyLana place, your "finds" in the hot cycle of your washing in a solution of soap foam. Strictly speaking it is "walk" these garments and the result is ready for harvest are felted sweater felted fabric. Now you can cut the sense of Birdie, even simple shapes can be sewn together with a scarf accented with decorative stitching on seams and fashion edge. Cut the front sections of the pieces recently felted waistcoat and contrast with a smooth satinFabric for the back. If the seams, remember to keep the wires compatible, so that money laundering does not pose problems.
Then there is the unfolding - an activity for those with patience and love their enormous patience to the test. Be careful, you can turn into an Olympic event recycling, if the sweater turns out to be too difficult to make irreversible. I have a friend who bought a sweater at a flea market for 25 cents. And 'the particular color of love is the sweater yarn. Youunravels the whole sweater, washed, and the yarn to knit another garment. She did not win any gold medal, but found it very satisfactory that have found this thread and put it back once for a good cause. Once you begin to unravel a sweater, you'll soon discover if you are or revealing Ball lengths only in fragments. Of course, colorful clothing is likely to contain much shorter lengths of yarn for knitting is not enough. As soon as the sweater unravels, wash the yarnprotected by the hand and wrap it carefully around a plastic cutting board or large book with plastic wrap and allow to dry. This should eliminate all those folds and curls, which were locked into yarn. Rewind the yarn quantity in weight or length, so you decide to have found what you Birdie. Although not used enough for a suit, could this yarn knitted belt, cuffs, cut, o. Also remember to adjust the fiber content and facilitationMoney laundering.
So if you take the recycled yarn as a challenge or a purely practical exercises, the project on a fresh look in structure or style. You are at the same time, to quench your "green awareness and money to obtain satisfaction from the fact that you have saved some of these green notes.
