Sep 15 Zpagetti yarn fly curtain

Make a yarn fly curtain with this simple tutorial by Hester's Handmade Home

The summer is still here! How great is that :D We just had the hottest day of the year and it is September, loving it! As the sun is still here I thought I'd do another summer craft. A new take on my fly curtain.

I posted a video a few weeks back on how to turn a plastic table cloth into a fly curtain and although I still love that curtain I was wondering if I could make one out of jersey yarn as well. I love the Zpagetti yarn Hoooked makes, it's made from left over jersey from the clothing industry so 100%recycled. You can use it to knit, crochet and macrame with and also makes for a great curtain. Every season Hoooked comes out with new colours but I love this simple grey jersey especially as the inside of my door frame is bright yellow.

To add some interest to the curtain I knotted the top section, a sort of macrame, looks tricky but is super easy to do, have a look

Looks great doesn't it? Even in my very ugly back door... Almost didn't post this as a tutorial as I really don't like the look of my door but hey lets keep things real right. We don't all live in show homes :)

I used 33 strands of yarn but you could use more if you want to make a denser curtain. You can also use more then one colour of yarn if you want, maybe even go ombre with a dark blue on the left a jeans blue in the middle and a light blue on the right. As you knot the yarn it will give a lovely effect. What colour(s) would you use?

I got so many lovely flowers for my birthday last week (especially these peonies!) that I spend Sunday morning taking some photos of them. Kiki and Kermit wanted to join in too so now the big question, who wore it best? And also expect lots of flower

It’s my birthday today and hitting certain ages does make your mind wonder. Like last week I was thinking ‘I hope I don’t look 40’ (I’ve been working in an industry that glorifies youth since I was 18) bu
