My latest time waster Gedifra Scarf Net




I recently purchased a Gedifra Scarf Net. 1.5M long. The idea of this netting is that you simply weave thick wool through it to create a scarf. Ideal project if you want to get kids involved in crafting. However I didnt like the effect with the wool I was using, and ever the happy hooker I decided to crochet into it instead. I simply chained 40 for the fringe, and then chained four in the gap, did a chain under the netting and repeated till the end. Then chained forty at the other end. I am having loads of fun using all my different yarns. Great leftover stash buster. This is the result so far!

These nets are a great idea. If you want to know where to buy them comment me and I will post a link.

I'm interested in knowing where you found these nets so that I may also try this scarf idea. They're beautiful. Thanks. Carol

Hey Carol, I bought mine from a local supplier, but it can be found online here, they are relatively cheap. http://www.mcadirect.com/shop/gedifra-m-19.html?page=5&sort=2a

Thank you so much Tillie (I just read your last reply, sorry for the delay!). I was looking for black as it's the best "fit" for what I do & MC Direct doesn't carry that. Is there any possibility that I may get it thru your supplier if they carry black? I am looking for more yardage than I can find & it's very difficult to find it on the internet now. Thanks for any help or information that you might be able to provide. Gratiously, Carol

This link is a Newspaper Article about my local wool supplier, it has their contact number at the bottom. I know I had the last two pieces she had in stock but that is months ago now. She may have more or may be able to arrange to get more. Good luck. http://www.northwichguardian.co.uk/news/4329670.Enjoy_a_knit_and_a_bit_of_a_natter/
