from fuzz to finished skip to main skip to sidebar from fuzz to finished enter your search terms submit search form web from fuzz to finished 26 october 2015 a strategy for moths well aren t moths a pain you hardly ever see the little devils just the holes they leave behind so if you are a woolly person what do you do i ve heard and read a lot about how to tackle moths so i thought i d try to bring it all together in one place and finish up with a simple strategy for moth management moth hole in aran hand knit jumper multiple holes in aged jumper lavender bags and cedar balls these are often recommended as moth cure alls and equally often derided as ineffective by those whose wool has been bitten both lavender and cedar give off aromas which add a lovely fragrance to clothing whilst confusing clothes moths sense of smell the idea is to give the moths the message no wool here however if the moths do find the wool cashmere alpaca despite the aromatic disguise they will still eat it pheromone traps these are a fairly new idea and they work by attracting the male moths there are two ideas at work here one is that if you hang up these little traps and start to see moths stuck to them as i said at the beginning you hardly ever see the actual munchers then you know what the scale of the problem is secondly if you attract away all the male moths then breeding is interrupted and this should reduce the problem in future years by reducing the number of eggs being laid the victoria and albert museum use these so there must be some benefit freezing a lot of people swear by this me included while some still say it doesn t work freezing kills the active moths and larvae but it doesn t kill the eggs so if there are a lot of eggs then it won t make a noticeable difference however if you understand a little more about this then you can still make it work for you freezing the eggs and then warming them up mimics the real world winter followed by spring i e you are encouraging the eggs to hatch and produce larvae which are easily killed by freezing this means that if you freeze your wool for 48 hours to kill any living larvae moths then warm it up for a few days to allow any eggs to hatch then re freeze for another 48 hours you should have killed any hatchlings too the strategy i would recommend all three of the above strategies have plenty of lavender and cedar balls try like mad to confuse moths and deter them from finding your stash and anyway it makes things smell nice also it is better to store woolly things clean as animal smells attract the little blighters in your wardrobe it wouldn t be daft to use individual zip lock bags for special woollies it will keep moths out and if they re already in there stop them spreading also quite handy for popping into the freezer keep pheromone traps to monitor whether a problem is developing and then double freeze when you find problems more about moths tineola bisselliella is the common clothes moth but it eats a wide variety of things more on wikipedia it s a rather drab silvery grey coloured skinny looking moth they are the easiest part of the life cycle to find because they flutter about occasionally although they re usually crawling around where you d prefer they weren t in your woolly things laying eggs the problem is actually with the larval wool eating machines which can be very hard to spot because they disguise themselves by using the material around them to wrap themselves up in if you find a lump the size of a grain of rice in your clothes wool it s probably a larva which has wrapped itself up in the material and is busily devouring your precious article within this bubble of wool you can squish it if you find one but freezing will kill any that are still tiny or you haven t seen the other part of the life cycle which can also be hard to find is the eggs these look like little grains of sand and can sometimes be found around the edges of a hole if you find them then get rid of them otherwise revert to the freeze warm and refreeze strategy above what about the holes so now you ve got a prevention management strategy what do you do with the things that already have holes in them how about taking a leaf from tom of holland s work and repair to enhance i recently went on one of his workshops at the warner textile archive in braintree i learned two methods of darning and am looking forward to being able to add a decorative darning photo here one day soon posted by spinnerlady at 12 43 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 14 october 2015 my banana is famous last week i went to the knitting stitching show at ally pally i haven t been for about 5 years and hadn t intended to put myself in the way of temptation this year then i agreed to a request for people to cover the stand for the association of guilds of weavers spinners dyers which came up followed with a by the way can you demonstrate well i always demonstrate spinning when on a guild event so i said yes of course then received an email showing me where the stage was oh that kind of demo when i arrived i found that actually the stage was a desk in front of a handful of benches so it wasn t really very scary i wanted to talk about the possibility of spinning if you own no tools so started with hand twining and moved on to how to create a drop spindle from things you might find around the house making my point with a banana a knitting needle and a rubber band it worked enough just i ve spun on a better banana and actually an apple or a potato generally work better but it got a laugh and hopefully made people aware of just how low tech spinning can be i was surprised that i enjoyed the show so much i d forgotten how inspiring it is i loved the sophie digar d exhibition was completely in awe of the amount of work that goes into her pieces and the wonderful use of colour so much better seen in the real world than in photos on line where it s hard to appreciate the amount of detail in each piece i heard that someone was spinning exciting sparkly yarn from wonderful batts in the main hall and wandered over to see her and her lovely sparkly fibre at spin city we had a lovely informative chat which finished oh you re the lady with the banana which amused me no end then yesterday a knit friend on facebook posted a link to a blog saying have you seen this and there i was on the twisted yarn with my banana so there you go never underestimate the power of a banana i realised that not having been to the show for a while i appreciated it much more it seemed fresh and exciting again it was lovely to focus on the exhibitions and the people lots of chat exhausting but fun posted by spinnerlady at 01 08 no comments email

lovely weather for spinning and it s a lovely setting a lot of people don t realise that harlow museum has beautiful walled gardens there s a knot garden with lavender large lawns and paved areas with seating where we gather to spin and some lovely planting i found a couple of dye plants which we may be able to use for our dyeing in october solidago golden rod and tansy the museum is very interesting in itself with the roman history of harlow bits on the anglo saxons and a room full of exhibits for each decade of the 1900s you will see stuff your grandma was using the old bicycles are worth a look too there were only a handful of us yesterday but it was still a nice meet we had a few newbies which was really nice and i continued to spin the yarn i started last weekend at the sammy
