Bumbles & Threads
Modern Medieval. Medieval offerings made with modern methods. Fibers for all sorts of fiber artists. This is the official page for Celestial Strings!
You can find my storefront on Etsy. I hand paint, hand dye and kettle dye luxurious fibers in out of this world colors. I specialize in custom work. Need a certain color but can't find it? I would be happy to work up a sample for your approval. If I'm out of a particular color that you're looking for I can always redye a previous color set. Loved Nebula but it's sold out? Not a problem! Missed Aur
I started inkle and tablet weaving just under a year ago. I decided I wanted wood tablets and today I made them.
A note, bumbles & threads will be the new business name, but all of my yarns dyed with modern acid dyes will remain “celestial strings yarn” branded. Yarns will only carry the name bumbles & threads when they’ve been dyed with historic dyes.
All garb and accessories will also carry bumbles & threads.
Currently using my registered SCA badge as my logo, but eventually that could change.
Welcome to Bumbles & Threads.
Yarns, fibers, and tools for fiber artists. Garb and accessories for SCA and Ren Faire.
Whether you knit, crochet, or tablet weave I will have fibers and tools for that. If you're SCA or Ren Faire, or just like cool medieval clothing, I've got garb and accessories for you.
I will continue to dye yarn using modern acid dyes, but will also be adding in the near future more historic dyes for those of you that prefer them.
I will soon be making some changes to my business name and design. I will continue to dye yarn/fiber and offer project bags but will be adding/removing/changing other things.

I'm not sure if any of you would be interested in this, but if you are here's a link to my Patreon. There is a "Patron of Wool" level that gets you at least one skein of yarn and covers the cost of shipping for $35, and I frequently add more to that tier like stitch markers, project bags, extra yarn, sometimes knitting needles. That tier is limited to 15 people and the yarn they get is exclusive to Patreons for 6 months.

Felt like crafting today so I decided to work on cutting some yarn bags that I hope to dye some yarn to match. The dinosaurs will be outside and the yarn will match that.
My father passed away this morning. I’ll be taking some time for myself, working when it brings me joy or distraction.
