"The order got here today and I am totally in love with the rusty tones in the Plummy colorway. The online colors couldn't do it justice (at least on my laptop). I'll be ordering that next - after I spin the 5-fiber sampler and decide just which fiber to order it in...
Thanks again. I really do love your colorways and am amazed at the speed at which things arrive in my postbox when I order from you!"

Falkland Roving Top
Comes from the Falkland Islands where this merino derivative developed its soft, smooth feel. The fleece is washed in alpine water and are not invaded by insects so avoids being sprayed as the fiber enters the US.

Celebrate diversity. Revel in the uniqueness of your hand dyed fiber. Each pot is a wee bit different than the next one. Even though we use the same amount of the same dyes for the same colorway, the special way Susan mixes dye allows for each pot to be unique. Your fiber is like no one elses!
See our colorways here
All of our colorways are dyed in small dyepots containing only 8 -16 oz (227-454g) of fiber each. We try to stay ahead but guessing which colorway is going to be most popular each week is difficult. We, therefore, usually dye to order which means your hand dyed fiber may take a week or two to get out to you, and at holiday times may take a bit longer. Also we really do not have dyelot numbers. It is best to order the amount you need to get the best matches.

"Thank you very much!!! I received my order yesterday.... All of the colors are just so rich and I can't decide which to spin first. The tamarack and spruce are for my best friend for Christmas next year, so it will probably not be first spun.
I am a fairly new spinner (in fact ordered my first spindle from you).
Thank you again for great customer service, I tell everyone I know." Theresa M |
Hand Dyed
Angora/MerinoTop
Soft, fuzzy and silky. Easy to spin and wonderful to knit.
- from sheared English Angora bunnies, sheared African merino sheep
 I took a ball of Clematis Vine. Split it lengthwise. Spun up 2 bobbins at 40 wpi. Plied the two bobbins together and then knit this tam from a pattern in Arctic Lace.
20% angora, 80% merino, - enough bunny to make the hat warm and fuzzy but not too hot.
2oz/ 57g for $15.50
