In this episode, I'm in the midst of a finishing frenzy. I'm organizing my workroom drawers, I'm sorting my yarn stash, I'm dragging long-neglected projects past the finish line.
In addition to showing you how I wet-finished two scarves (one knit, one woven) that I began in part to console myself at the onset of the pandemic, I introduce you to Clotilde, my new-to-me Singer 15K treadle sewing machine and visit the fabric district in Montmartre.
*STUFF IN THIS EPISODE*
The sideways linen-stitch scarf was knitted was Noro Silk Garden Sock. The woven scarf was made with coned alpaca/silk blend yarns purchased from WEBS (https://www.yarn.com).
