The dyed fibre just keeps on coming!

More fibre! This time in greens.

More fibre for spinning or felting! This time in a palette of moody blues.

80/20 merino/ silk roving using Magnolia flowers as my inspiration.

I will be here along with other traders. Lots of winter woollies for purchase, and yummy food too. Hope to see you there.

Some of the hand dyed fibre I will be selling at the Winter Wool Fair at the end of May. Details to follow.

Three glistening dk weight merino silk beauties off to Cairns. The slightly rustic plying seems to make the yarn reflect light in random ways. This yarn is available as dyed to order.

I want to spread the word about this great initiative by Fibre Arts Shed, a small woollen mill and fibre supply company on the central coast of NSW. They want to purchase equipment that will enable them to turn all the unusable wool from their scouring and milling processes into pelletised fertiliser for your garden. They are running a Readygofundme campaign to raise the money, which I have supported. Think about helping them reach their target - more information with this link.

A new project for the warmer weather. Mesh sweater by , who is on Etsy for a change instead of Ravelry. I am not going to knit the sleeves by the way! Yarn is Rowan glace cotton dk from my way too huge stash of yarn and fibre

My beautiful Desiree rose. Always outstanding!

Bringing back an old colourway Sage Lavender (of course!)
Available now.

Finished my D'aisi top by Natasja Hornby. I used my undyed alpaca silk linen yarn which I thought would be good for trans seasonal wear. I have a few skeins I could dye up if anyone is interested.

Finally finished. A few more days before it is dry and ready for sale.
Look at those hearts 💕.

Just started dyeing on my new Australian sock yarn. 80% superfine Australian merino. 20% nylon. 400m per 100grams. A very smooth and sleek yarn. Takes the dye beautifully. Available in these two colourways - Denim and Confetti, or dye to order

Another new yarn base!! 75% extra fine Australian merino and 25% silk dk weight. 200 metres per 100 grams. Perfect for that special dk project. It is in my shop as a dyed to order listing. If the colour you want is not there, just message me.

My favouritest Camellia - Tinsie or syn. Bokuhan. Flowering now and brightening up my winter garden!

New yarn bases have landed!! I'm dyeing up some samples. More pics soon.

Need a new project bags for your knitting? I have these babies for sale tomorrow and Saturday at the Winter Wool Fair. Details of the event in the previous post.

Some of my beauties all ready for labelling and pricing for 2 June. Details to come...

I am madly dyeing getting ready for our group's major showcase event of the year - our Winter Wool Fair. I will have a large range of my yarns available for your knitting or crochet pleasure.

As the temperatures drop need something to keep you warm? We've got you covered!
See you there in three weeks!

Finally a new colourway I am happy with! In merino silk, a mix of blues, greeny blues and rose pink - "Tundra". Available now in my shop.

What else do you do with so many spare tomatoes?

Wishing everyone a safe and happy fibery filled festive season!

A new colourway! And don't ask me why but I've called it 'El Paso'. Something to do with the colours (in my mind) of Arizona or Texas.
Available in my shop now.

My irises have given me a great show this spring. Must be all the rain!
