Rhiana

I made a souvenir sweater dress from Icelandic yarn! One of my favourite trips.

a woman wears a green and white knit headband, and a beige shawl tied around her neck. Her hair is up in a bun and there are trees and snow behind her.

Another favourite Canadian yarn is Nunavut Qiviut! Their qiviut and Arctic fox yarns are stunning and have the most incredible halo. They also make incredibly warm knits. My Luna headband is made out of it, a regular winter wardrobe accessory.

I would love that option, alas a lack of sheep farmers in the sub-arctic!

Rhiana holds 8 skeins of chartreuse coloured yarn. Her hair is up in a bun, and she is wearing a lavender vest over a long sleeve black shirt.

One of my all time favourite yarns is from Briggs and Little! They have the oldest wool mill in Canada, located in New Brunswick (where I went to university). This is their sport weight dyed up in Citron by Lichen and Lace.
Would love to hear 🇨🇦 yarn suggestions!

A hand holds a piece of unprocessed qiviut (muskox hair) in front of piles of fibre on a blue and white striped towel.

Processing qiviut. Is a process. Pulling out the guard hairs isn't too difficult, but sorting out the other layers of fibre is definitely tricky. My partner hunted a muskox a few years ago and I'm finally getting around to learning how to separate the usable fibres.

The sunglasses are wicked! We're in a cold snap right now ❄️

Home sick but at least it's cozy. We're back to regular temperatures in Yellowknife for January (-38°C but feels like -46°C with the windchill) so I have no problem staying indoors drinking tea and resting, and periodically working on a sweater.

Thank you!

Amazing, thank you so much!! Just the tips I was looking for.

Picture perfect weekend.
So I never had Twitter, and this format is pretty new to me. Any suggestions on making it work effectively? Hashtags? How to find other knitters?

Mixed feelings about -2°C in Yellowknife in January. Beautiful x-country skiing and light weight knits are perfect. But this is not normal weather by any means.
