Hand dyed fibers and yarns for spinning, knitting, felting, and weaving, produced one dyepot at a time. Rich jewel tones and vivid colors are created using professional dyes that are set properly in a long hot bath. Please visit http://dicentradesigns.net for photos of fibers and colorways that may be available, but haven't yet been listed on Etsy. Send me a message if you see something you'd like.

Take a look around here, make yourself at home, enjoy the view. Let us know if we can do anything for you. These colorways are created in a smoke-free, dog friendly home and studio. We strive to keep hair away from the fiber, but sometimes it sneaks in as if it has a magnetic attraction to places it shouldn't be.

If you are on the U. S. West Coast- see our hand painted fiber in person Northwest Wools in Portland. Come visit our booth at the Black Sheep Gathering at its new location at the Linn County Expo Center the last full weekend of June and the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival at their new venue of the Linn County Expo Center in mid-October.

Please note that Free Shipping will be by the most economical way available. If you want expedited shipped, please contact Dicentra for options at additional cost.

I have purchased rovings from Dicentra for a long time. This mulberry silk top is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to finish the roving I am working on so I can spin this one! Lisa is an excellent dyer. Her rovings are a joy to spin!

Love love LOVE this BFL/silk combo. This shop always has super soft, expertly dyed, high quality fiber. The picture doesn't do it justice, but the fiber has a slight silky sheen and also a fine crimp.

Radiant Hand Dyed Color

Dicentra Designs was hatched nearly 20 years ago and remains a venture propelled by a single fiber artist with a little help from friends and family. Hollow Tree Studio, a former wood shop behind the house, is home to the alchemy of turning ecru blends of wools and other animal fibers and silk into glorious, shimmering braids of spinnable, feltable fiber. A land use planner by day, Lisa (Dicentra) spends weekends working with fiber, from concocting unique colors into dye stock solutions, to choosing colorways inspired by the visual feast presented by the Oregon countryside, to melding color and fiber in the dyepot, to rinsing and drying dyed fiber, to braiding and packaging finished fiber. Most colorways are done in 4.5 pound batches. Many colors change with the seasons and are not repeated exactly, unless there is a perceived demand for additional runs. Usually new colorways come out in time for shows in February, June, and September. Dicentra-dyed fibers and yarns are available for purchase here on Etsy and at a few fiber shows in Washington and Oregon, as well as in a few shops on the West Coast.
