more wool ....... ball by ball

 Today came another day of chain stitch for the final beard. I have chosen to use various sea colours and rustic colours pallets as well as size knits and crochet hooks to make the beard as textural as possible. This will also allow the audience to see the garments from a distance. 

Another 3 balls of wool were made up: 

• A lilac double knit using a 4mm crochet hook. This took quite a few hours to make up as the hook was rather small, the wool however was wonderful to work with no splitting or fluffiness and hardly any weight to it meaning it will keep the garment lighter for the person wearing it.

• Then two multicoloured balls of wool: earth colours with purple using a 6mm crochet hook and sand hues and purple ball of indie wool using a 8mm crochet hook. Both were once again quick and simple to work with. The knots were tight and will fill up the holes in the scarf though like the others if the knots get loose it will turn slightly fluffy due to the make up of the wool.  Admittedly I do feel the sand hues with the chunkier knit will work well within the colour scheme, though the earth hues are the ones I feel I'm taking a risk with. though wonderful in a ball of wool I'm hoping it will blend in with the other colours I plan on using with the beard. That being said i shall evaluate this when ive worked on all the balls of wool and placed them together
