Fiber Club Fiber Stash



I have included a fber club on my Etsy.  You can choose from 3 options.  Hand dyed batts in a single color,  natural colored batts from different sheep or alpaca,  these give you great experience  in different textures of wool,   or mixed colored hand dyed batts.  The listing is for 4 months and at the beginning of each month I ship out 120 grams of fiber.   All is as usual totally hand made by me.  They are listed on my Etsy

Jacob Yarn at Its best


I love this yarn,  colors made by  over dying grey and white fleece with 3 different dye pots and then blending them on my drum carder.  I kept the individual colors in large bunches so that each color shows up individually.  I just love the colors.  I have spun the yarn chunky so really most suited to hats and scarves.  Jacob fleece gives wonderful colors when over dyed ,  the grey picking up thr dye in a different shade giving more natural tones.
I have called this yarn 'Faith Healer'  after the owner of the sheep who is the seventh son of a seventh son
