Roving at knoxfarmfiber's Shop

knoxfarmfiber's Shop Announcement

Hand-spun / Hand-dyed yarn and supplies from the fiber animals at Knox Farm State Park in East Aurora, New York.

Wool- the ultimate in renewing, recycling and re-using.

What is organic yarn anyway? If it means the sheep are well-fed, well-cared-for, have lots of pesticide-free pasture, are protected against predators, in good health with lots of friends----and then their wool is cleaned with eco-detergent, dried in the fresh air, carded the old fashioned way and dyed by hand with low-impact environmentally friendly dyes, spun by hand, and labeled with a photo of the sheep who donated it.....if that's organic yarn, then this is the place to buy some.

N.B.--Of course not all of the yarns in the shop are organic, though most are. I've been spinning some corepsun yarns lately just for fun. These start with our own wool and mohair, but then all kinds of fibers are added (ribbon, cotton, glitter etc). It's ok the mix it up a little--yes?



I am a proud member of the Etsyknitters Street Team and the EtsyFAST team. And now part of Eco-Etsy !

Note: I am now using "Greener Shades" in my yarns and rovings hoping to lessen any negative environmental impact from other dyes. Check them out at greenershades.stillrivermill.com.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!

I am removing roving from my listings until late February/early March when there will be a whole new batch. Thanks for waiting.
