Kev\u00e4ttalvella<\/a> postasin Refashioning the Renaissance-projektista<\/a>, jossa neulotaan kansalaistiede-projektina rekonstruktioita Turun tuomiokirkosta, Elisabeth Buren haudasta l\u00f6ytyneest\u00e4 sukasta. Nyt ollaan p\u00e4\u00e4sty viimein siihen pisteeseen ett\u00e4 kaava on valmis ja sukkia on alettu neulomaan. Osa neuloo sukkaa k\u00e4sittelem\u00e4tt\u00f6m\u00e4st\u00e4 silkist\u00e4 joka neulomisen j\u00e4lkeen pest\u00e4\u00e4n serisiinist\u00e4 ja v\u00e4rj\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n. Itselleni oli j\u00e4nnitt\u00e4v\u00e4 tieto ett\u00e4 silkkilanka neulotaan ns. raakana ja k\u00e4sitell\u00e4\u00e4n vasta sen j\u00e4lkeen ihanan pehme\u00e4ksi. Se helpottaa neulomista. Osa, kuten min\u00e4, neuloo ohuesta kampavillasta. Niit\u00e4kin v\u00e4rj\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n my\u00f6hemmin. Valmiit sukat tulevat aikanaan jonkinlaiseen n\u00e4yttelyyn, mutta siit\u00e4 ei viel\u00e4 ole sen tarkemmin tietoa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puikko-kooksi valikoitui k\u00e4sialani mukaan 1mm puikot. Minulla oli projektilta lainassa ter\u00e4spuikot, mutta sain \u00e4idilt\u00e4ni lahjaksi sek\u00e4 ter\u00e4ksiset ett\u00e4 hiilikuituiset puikot. Ter\u00e4ksiset puikot ovat l\u00e4hes neulanter\u00e4v\u00e4t. Hiilikuituiset ovat p\u00e4ist\u00e4 paljon py\u00f6re\u00e4mm\u00e4t. Kokeilin mallitilkkuun kumpaisiakin ja tulin siihen tulokseen ett\u00e4 hiilikuituiset sopivat yleistuntumaltaan omaan k\u00e4teeni paljon paremmin. Olkoonkin, ett\u00e4 ne eiv\u00e4t ole autenttiset suhteessa siihen mit\u00e4 oli k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 1650-luvulla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loin sukan aloituksen ter\u00e4spuikoille sill\u00e4 py\u00f6re\u00e4p\u00e4isill\u00e4 puikoilla oli vaikeampi neuloa ensimm\u00e4iset kerrokset, jotka muutenkin olivat tosi hankalat \u00e4lytt\u00f6m\u00e4n pienill\u00e4 silmukoilla. Ja vaikka olin miten huolellinen, niinh\u00e4n se ensimm\u00e4inen kerros meni sitten kieroon renkaaksi yhdist\u00e4ess\u00e4. Kahden kerroksen j\u00e4lkeen sitten vain karusti v\u00e4\u00e4nsin kierteet suoriksi, t\u00e4m\u00e4 ei onneksi n\u00e4y n\u00e4in ohuen neuleen reunassa. Sitten kun olin p\u00e4\u00e4ssyt muutaman kerroksen eteenp\u00e4in, vaihdoin hiilikuituisiin puikkoihin. Kunhan p\u00e4\u00e4sen sukassa hieman eteenp\u00e4in, aion vaihtaa taas ter\u00e4ksisiin ja katsoa onko neulominen niill\u00e4 yht\u00e4\u00e4n helpompaa sen j\u00e4lkeen kun on kunnolla tottunut pikkuruisiin silmukoihin. Erityisen haastavaa on pit\u00e4\u00e4 lanka riitt\u00e4v\u00e4n kire\u00e4ll\u00e4 koska se on niin ohutta, ettei siit\u00e4 tahdo saada otetta. Enk\u00e4 saa sit\u00e4 kunnolla pikkusormeni ymp\u00e4rille sopivan kireyden saavuttamiseksi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuntuu, ett\u00e4 olen k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt ihan tuntitolkulla aikaa pelkk\u00e4\u00e4n aloitukseen, en ole nimitt\u00e4in viel\u00e4 juurikaan kapeaa resoria pidemm\u00e4ll\u00e4. Onneksi meill\u00e4 on kuitenkin aikaa koko ensi vuosi t\u00e4h\u00e4n projektiin. Jos n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 sille ett\u00e4 villainen sukka valmistuu nopeasti, saatan neuloa viel\u00e4 silkkisenkin my\u00f6hemmin. Katsotaan mik\u00e4 tilanne on kev\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4. Mik\u00e4li haluat n\u00e4hd\u00e4 originaalin sukan, sen voi n\u00e4hd\u00e4 viel\u00e4 8.3.2020 asti Turun linnan n\u00e4yttelyss\u00e4 “Muutama sananen naisista”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Spring I posted<\/a> about Refashioning the Renaissance project<\/a>, which is reconstructing renaissance sock, found from the grave of Elisabeth Bure in Turku Cathedral. Now we are finally on the point of finished pattern and voluntary knitters have started knitting. Some are using raw silk thread, which is washed and dyed after knitting. It was interesting information for me that silk is knitted “raw” and the finished product is then washed soft and dyed. Makes it much easier to knit. Some, like me, are knitting with thin combed wool. Those will also be dyed later. All of the socks will be in some form or another in an exhibition, but there is not any information about that yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to my sample-knits, the needle gauge I chose is 1mm. I had steel needles, which were borrowed from the project. However I got both steel and carbon fiber needles from my mum as a gift. Steel needles are pin sharp, carbon fiber is round on the tip. I tried them both and seems that carbon fiber generally suits better my knitting style than steel. All though steel is more authentic to what they had in 1650’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started using steel needles because it was easier, tiny little stitches and round tips didn’t really work together in the beginning rows. And after combining the first row into round knit, it got twist on it. Even though I was very carefully straightening it. After two rows I just roughly straightened the twist. Thankfully it doesn’t really showon such a fine knit. When I had actually knitted couple more rows, I swapped for carbon fiber needles. When I get a bit further, I will swap again for steel and see if it’s any easier when I’m more used to the size of the stitches. Keeping the yarn at proper tension is very challenging, it is so very fine it’s difficult to get proper grip. I also have hard time of twisting it around my little finger for harder tension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels like I have used hours and hours just for starting the sock, I haven’t made much further than the narrow ribbing. Thankfully we got the whole of next year for this project. If it looks like this sock will be finished quickly, I might knit also the silk sock. Have to see what the situation is in Spring. If you want to see the authentic 1650’s sock, it is on display in Turku castle till 8.3.2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
