Hello Dear Customer,
There is nothing like the feel of natural luxury fibre yarns next to the skin, and I only use good quality yarns and fibres for my dye projects. My favourites are the wonderfully soft merino wool, cashmere and alpaca, silk with a subtle sheen to it, bluefaced leicester which has a great bouncey feel and maybe some of the lesser known sheep breeds such as Corriedale or Shropshire for some springy handspun. The spinning fibres I dye are made using the same dye principles and qualities that I use on my yarns.

I only dye small batches at a time using acid (citric) dye techniques, fixed in my microwave or on the stovetop. As is normal with hand dyed yarns/fibres each skein is unique. There will be variations from one skein to the next even if I use the same "recipe" and "cooked" them in the same pot. My yarns are then washed in a little Woolite and thoroughly rinsed before drying.

I do my best to show an accurate representation of colours in my photographs but the set up of different monitors may show slight variations from true colours.
