ABOUT ORGANIC WOOL: Briefly, buying organic wool (not surprisingly) helps protect the environment: no synthetic pesticides are used on the sheep, their food must be certified organic, no synthetic hormones and genetic engineering, and they are not permitted to overgraze or overcrowd their fields.

A wonderful gift for yourself or another fiber lover. Choose a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription. Each month the recipient will receive 3-4 ounces of hand-painted 100% wool roving. You may choose to receive merino wool or domestic wool (domestic is a lovely high quality and easiest for beginners while merino is a super-soft luxury fiber) or a combination of both during your subscription. Both types of wool are great for felting too!

Combine a Fiber Club subscription with one of my spin kits for the ultimate introduction into the world of spinning (and save on shipping)! "Learn to Spin" Kits available here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pancakeandlulu?section_id=6345703

For example, let me know if you have certain favorite colors or colors you would like me to avoid and choose domestic or merino or both...whatever you would like. Also, be sure to tell me if this is a gift for someone else. An email (within 24 hours) or gift card announcing your gift of membership will be sent to the recipient (please specify your preference and provide email or address of the recipient).

(If no preferences or recipient is submitted I will send an email confirmation and combination of wool and colors directly to you.)

Best of all, you will get a great deal! I always make sure my Fiber Club Members receive special treatment and more for their money--the value of the fiber I send you will be greater than the cost of your membership (and I often add in extra fiber related goodies.) You will also be the first to receive my newest creations!

This particular listing is for a 12 month subscription. Choose the appropriate listing for your desired length of time and club in this section: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pancakeandlulu?section_id=6384821

Your fiber will be sent at the beginning of each month. If you join mid-month look for your shipment in the first week of the following month. Treat yourself or a friend and enjoy the fun of spontaneous fiber deliveries to your door!

Lulu Batt Luxury Fiber Club - 12 Month Membership - by Pancake and Lulu

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 09:12:24 -0500

$165.00
Lulu Batt Fiber Club - 12 Month Membership

A wonderful gift for yourself or another fiber lover. Choose a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription. Each month the recipient will receive 3-4 ounces of luscious lulu batts.

Lulu Batts are pure entertainment to spin and knit! These batts will produce a gorgeous art yarn with fun color/texture surprise changes as you spin and then again when you knit. Lulu Batts are also fascinating to felt: the high merino wool content will allow these batts to partially felt, trapping the non-felting materials in a web of felted wool for very interesting fiber art effects. Fiber base is merino wool and may include mohair, alpaca, silk, soy silk, angelina and firestar and much more.

Your monthly batts will be a surprise. However, if you submit your preferences in the "note to seller" box, we can customize the club so you receive just what you want. For example, let me know if you have certain favorite colors or fibers or would like me to avoid something in your batch...whatever you would like. Or maybe you just want me to mix it all up...let me know! Also, be sure to tell me if this is a gift for someone else. An email (within 24 hours) or gift card announcing your gift of membership will be sent to the recipient (please specify your preference and provide email or address of the recipient).

(If no preferences or recipient is submitted I will send an email confirmation and combination of fibers and colors directly to you.)

Best of all, you will get a great deal! I always make sure my Fiber Club Members receive special treatment and more for their money--the value of the fiber I send you will be greater than the cost of your membership (and I often add in little fiber surprises.) You will also be the first to receive my newest creations!

This particular listing is for a 12 month subscription. Choose the appropriate listing for your desired length of time and club in this section:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/pancakeandlulu?section_id=6384821

Your fiber will be sent at the beginning of each month. If you join mid-month look for your shipment in the first week of the following month. Treat yourself or a friend and enjoy the fun of spontaneous fiber deliveries to your door!

Can't seems to get enough fiber? Let me know if you want a monthly double dose of fiber (6-8 oz). I will set you up with a special listing for twice the regular club amount.

Bonus: 12 month members get free shipping! For International Members, please see the shipping charge below for your country--you still get a shipping discount for the 12 month membership! If your country isn't listed, please contact me for a quote.

ABOUT ORGANIC WOOL: Briefly, buying organic wool (not surprisingly) helps protect the environment: no synthetic pesticides are used on the sheep, their food must be certified organic, no synthetic hormones and genetic engineering, and they are not permitted to overgraze or overcrowd their fields. Cut and paste this into your browser to read up on the facts: http://www.ota.com/organic/woolfactsheet.html.

Of course you save on shipping when you purchase multiple items at once.

I want you to be happy!! If you are dissatisfied with anything you purchase from me, please be sure to contact me--I will work to make it right. See my profile for additional shopping info.

Lulu Batt Luxury Fiber Club - 6 Month Membership - by Pancake and Lulu

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:11:55 -0500

$85.00
Lulu Batt Fiber Club - 6 Month Membership

A wonderful gift for yourself or another fiber lover. Choose a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription. Each month the recipient will receive 3-4 ounces of luscious lulu batts.

Lulu Batts are pure entertainment to spin and knit! These batts will produce a gorgeous art yarn with fun color/texture surprise changes as you spin and then again when you knit. Lulu Batts are also fascinating to felt: the high merino wool content will allow these batts to partially felt, trapping the non-felting materials in a web of felted wool for very interesting fiber art effects. Fiber base is merino wool and may include mohair, alpaca, silk, soy silk, angelina and firestar and much more.

Your monthly batts will be a surprise. However, if you submit your preferences in the "note to seller" box, we can customize the club so you receive just what you want. For example, let me know if you have certain favorite colors or fibers or would like me to avoid something in your batch...whatever you would like. Or maybe you just want me to mix it all up...let me know! Also, be sure to tell me if this is a gift for someone else. An email (within 24 hours) or gift card announcing your gift of membership will be sent to the recipient (please specify your preference and provide email or address of the recipient).

(If no preferences or recipient is submitted I will send an email confirmation and combination of fibers and colors directly to you.)

Best of all, you will get a great deal! I always make sure my Fiber Club Members receive special treatment and more for their money--the value of the fiber I send you will be greater than the cost of your membership (and I often add in little fiber surprises.) You will also be the first to receive my newest creations!

This particular listing is for a 6 month subscription. Choose the appropriate listing for your desired length of time and club in this section:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/pancakeandlulu?section_id=6384821

The shipping charge is a one-time charge to cover shipping for the entire subscription. Your fiber will be sent at the beginning of each month. If you join mid-month look for your shipment in the first week of the following month. Treat yourself or a friend and enjoy the fun of spontaneous fiber deliveries to your door!

Can't seems to get enough fiber? Let me know if you want a monthly double dose of fiber (6-8 oz). I will set you up with a special listing for twice the regular club amount for $165 and free US (and discounted International) shipping.

Bonus: 12 month members get free shipping! For International Members, please see the shipping charge below for your country--you still get a shipping discount for the 12 month membership! If your country isn't listed, please contact me for a quote.

*Please note: The purchase of Pancake and Lulu Yarn Club Membership is excluded from and further Discounts or Promotions. Thank you!*

RAW TURQUOISE - handspun corespun art yarn.

this is a very strong, tight, sturdy yarn--the carded fibers have been wrapped around a wool core. it is fairly time consuming to create (though highly addictive!). sort of like the "slow food" of the spinning world.

part of my new birthstone series - turquoise is for december!

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:06:41 -0500

$10.00
AMETHYST Organic Merino Semi-Solid - A luscious handpainted super soft yarn. Gorgeous amethyst, violet, purple, deep and pale variations. This is one of my very favorite yarns--incredibly soft, cushy and lovely.

I have created a line of new hand painted mill-spun "semi-solids"! Perfect for stash-building, combining with variegated yarns, colorwork, or when you want a single color with a little kick! "Semi-Solids" appear solid from a distance but are made up of several shades--a more interesting yarn both to knit up and in the finished fabric.

ABOUT ORGANIC WOOL: Briefly, buying organic wool (not surprisingly) helps protect the environment: no synthetic pesticides are used on the sheep, their food must be certified organic, no synthetic hormones and genetic engineering, and they are not permitted to overgraze or overcrowd their fields.
