Artisan Yarns is holding a sale and discount codes are at the bottom. You also get free shipping on orders over $75.

Here are two examples of one of Artisan Yarns’ wool yarns knit and felted. Using one skein each of Socos 100% Hand-dyed Bulky Wool, 100g/82 yards, I was able to knit and felt both the hat and the clutch bag and the embellishments (Pictured).  As you can see, the yarn although it is only 82 yards goes a long way when used on a large needle. I use a US 15 on the hat and US 11 for the clutch bag. This sale runs through the end of the month, so go check out all the lovely products at Artisan Yarns for your next project. These yarns are all hand dyed and spun from natural fibers, making them eco-friendly.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
