To create something usable out of a raw material obviously requires a certain process, which can often be complicated and intricate. Wool carding is one such procedure, which along with others changes raw wool into usable fibers. It separated clusters into more manageable smooth individual strands which can be processed further to create usable products.
The background procedures which deliver the desired end use of the fibers are often just that, unknown and seldom appreciated. The cost of cotton, felt or yarn in any form is criticized and scoffed at with indignant naivety. Only the quality, thickness and color seem to be the ultimate concern for the end user.
Being able to hand craft items that people are in demand for, is a skill which might require talent and practice. Expertise only comes from experience and having a desired goal or outcome is essential. Whatever you choose to make, it should showcase the materials used to their full potential, as well as create something beautiful.
Each person is unique and individual's tastes differ tremendously. That is why hand crafted items seems to be really popular and in demand. Their unique, quirky quality tells a story of the artist and also of quality time spent creating the item.
The beauty lies in the materials chosen to implement the process of the craft, while the quality and appeal rest solely on how the used materials were processed. To achieve an end result of cotton fibers, or even felt (which is used extensively by many crafters) the method should be understood and appreciated. What one sees are the fruits of many procedures that the wool had to be subjected to, in order for the fibers to be usable to create colored, mixed yarn.
There are machines that carry out the measures aptly and create the most beautiful combinations and colors imaginable. However there are some people that respect the work put into creating something beautiful which in turn can be used with ease to create something new. This is then done by hand and painstakingly deliberated over until everything is perfect.
The market is also evolving and demanding more and more new materials at affordable prices. Keeping the products on trend is important to keeping the craft revolution alive and profitable for their creators. People's imagination has expanded to seeing yarn as a material that can be used for many unique projects which might not seem conventional or traditional. Yarn bombing is an expression of this imaginative and creative use of yarn, whereby any surface can be covered with crochet or knitting, including trees, buildings and benches.
Hand crafting is an expression of one's skills, personality and imagination, all packaged within one special item that is unique. The charm and character of hand-made items are not only highly sought after but appreciated and respected for their worth too. Sourcing the most affordable and appropriate materials and understanding the applied methods that made them as appealing as they are, is all part of the project and experience required.
