More tasselling

image from here

I was really inspired by this image of a Moroccan Berber bride and thought I could create a similar effect with a tassel knit.


After a rummage through a box of yarns in the knit studio I came across this gorgeous, but extremely tangled yarn. I love the little loops in it, it reminds me of angora goats wool.

I found some silver disc trim, similar to the one on the bride, on eBay. But then I had the idea that I could use silver tinsel in the tassels. I asked Lee if we had any lying around in the studio. We didn't but he gave me some silver foil which I cut into strips to experiment with.




I really like the effect, so I will ask around for tinsel in the charity shops.
