[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pine needle weaving

Tue Jan 25 21:21:58 UTC 2011

My grandmother used to have several Christmas decorations made by those pine
cones.  They were pine cone Christmas trees.
You just reminded me of them!  They stood on a wooden square base, maybe 3
inches square and 1/2 inch thick.  They were glued to that base.  Then they
were painted white and rolled in silver glitter so the ends of the cones had
glitter stuck to them.  Then little balls made from glass beads were glued
on the top of the end of several of the pine cone leaves.  These were to be
the decorations on the tree.

I know in California they have these huge pincones that stand over 12 
inches. They are great for decorating.

She uses the pine needles for the fill of the coil.  She collects them in
California, they are particularly long needles from a particular type of
pine.  I would think our White Pine would be similar in length, probably a
bit shorter though, than  the needles she uses.

Joyce,
I'd have to do a bit of research.  The question would be if they were green
or dried.

I wonder how pine needles are used for this?  Susan do you have any  idea?
Is it made with yarn and pine needles, so you don't use the cclothes  line?

I know  of a blind woman in California who makes them using pine needles.
She  sells them at her local shop for artisans.

Sure. The ones I make are done using clothesline and yarn. They  can also,
from what I've heard, be done with reeds of some sort though I've  never
tried that version. Also, narrow strips of cloth, stitched together, can  be
used in plaáe of the yarn, but I haven't done that. The yarn is wrapped
around the clothesline and the clothesline in turn is coiled around  inthe
process.
