My computer doesn’t believe that houndstooth is a word, but really, it is!

And here are 3 fish with houndstooth weave wool.

This one looks like zigzag from a distance but close-up, you can see the houndstooth pattern.

This one is dark green and white- it is very soft so it is probably woven cashmere or maybe an angora blend, but I’m not sure. I bought some lengths of it at an estate sale of a fashion seamstress. In the house, I thought it was black and white!

And here they are, hanging out at the pool.

Two light colored fish. I remember exactly where I got the body fabrics- The top fish is an awesome coat fabric. I went to a fiber swap and someone had brought a vintage (70’s?) coat. I took that home! The white textured weave fabric I picked up in Northampton, MA after I did a show there. I went to a shop that sold supplies for rug-hooking. It had just changed ownership. The new owner put out a pile of free wool fabrics. Why yes, I did grab a bagful. That fabric was probably never going to work for rug hooking but it is good for me!

I’m getting a little tired of all these fish here! Don’t worry, this is the last for now.

I made some purple fish-

And red- purple-

And a short blue-green fish.

Here is a whole pile of fish waiting to get photographed. The weather here has been so balmy and we haven’t even had a frost yet!

Full Fall colors here!
