New Fibers

Hey all you spinners and felters out there! We have some new fibers that you should see:

100% Hand-dyed Bluefaced Leicester from Woolgatherings
Woolgatherings began over 25 years ago when Sandy Sitzman started selling the brightly dyed wool from her small flock of sheep, llamas, and alpacas at local craft and fiber shows. Her work as been featured in many publications including “The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook.” Today, Woolgatherings is still a family business, owned and operated by Kate Sitzman, and recently relocated to Duvall, Washington. Kate shares Sandy’s love of fiber and color and draws a lot of inspiration from her travels and from the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
50/50 Hand-dyed Merino/Tencel from BJS Fiber Creations
Barbara Seeler, our newest spinning instructor, also dyes up some fantastic fibers. She will be bringing by more of her lovely hand-dyes, including some cotton, over the next few weeks. Meet her on Spinning Night here at the shop!
