Experience the traditions and techniques used to spin the gossamer thread yarn used to create Orenburg shawls.
PieceWork magazine is proud to present a workshop that brings the traditions of Orenburg into your home. The hand knitted shawls of Orenburg, located in the steppes of the southern Ural Mountains, set a world standard for exquisite handspun yarns and delicate lace patterning. The beauty and durability of these heirloom creations begin with the yarn: cashmere from the densely-coated goats of the region, an unusual way of preparing the fleece on a Central Asian-style comb, and skillful spindle spinning. Galina Khmeleva has made a life work of learning the traditional skills of Orenburg spinners and knitters, and promoting their artistry throughout the world. In this DVD, you will learn first-hand: The properties of Orenburg cashmere and how they influence the knitting How to comb on a tool unique to the region How to separate the finest fibers from those more suitable for heavier knitting How to spin on the slender, shapely, whorl-free Orenburg spindle How to ply and finish your yarn You'll also hear wonderful stories from a woman who has spent her adult life absorbing the traditions that bring this time-honored folk craft to life.
