FriendsinFiber
Announcement
We are back !! The Fiber Festival of New England was a great show and we thank all those who came to our booth and hope you had a good time. We will be updating new listings in the shop this week.
We hope you enjoy exploring our shop for a variety of fiber offerings we have available for your spinning, knitting and felting pleasure. We stock the complete line of solid and multi-colored Merino combed top originally from Ashland Bay that is now handled by Foxglove Fiber Arts Supply. We order from them on a regular basis in order to keep our inventory well stocked. Let us know if you need a large quantity of a particular color and we can call in an order.
We do our best to accurately represent the color but there are differences between device displays and the real thing. We find some colors just seem to give us problems with digital images. If there are Ashland Bay fibers you are interested in but are concerned about the exact color, please don't hesitate to contact the shop. We will be happy to mail you a sample. The listings for dyed merino are in amounts of 4 ounces but we will gladly set up a custom reserve listing for other amounts in the colors of your choice. Just contact us for details.
Our Angora rabbits have requested a little lap time and we hand-pluck the fiber to provide long length fiber for your projects. Peg is still creating new skeins of luxurious handspun angora so check back often to see the latest listings. In addition to classic white and the soft natural colors, we offer dyed angora skeins. Pure Angora is perfect for lining hats and mittens for winter.

Our collective shop is the creation of Peg Critser and Jan Lashua. We are fiber enthusiasts working together to provide hand spinners and knitters beautiful hand dyed roving, custom blended batts and handspun yarns. We also offer needle felting supplies and blending fibers for your craft endeavors.
Fiber has drawn us together and we have become "Friends in Fiber" and so we have adopted that as the name for our shop. We hope you enjoy our fiber offers as much as we do.
Thank you for visiting!

Needle Felted Sheep
No Fiber Left Behind!!
Jan and Peg are sometimes referred to as "The Spin Free or Dye Girls." Our tagline is a play on the words of the New Hampshire State motto "Live Free or Die." For most of our products, Peg is the spinner and needle felter while Jan focuses on the dyeing.
Peg's farm is home to llamas, sheep and angora rabbits. She uses their fiber as well as yak, bison, qiviut, cashmere, camelid and silk to create carded batts and handspun yarn.
Peg specializes in the creation of fine lace-weight yarns and enjoys knitting lace shawls in the Orenburg style. She also provides custom spinning for pet owners who save the brushed fiber from their dogs and cats.
Jan is a retired teacher whose love of fiber has grown under the mentorship of Peg and she especially enjoys creating dyed rovings. blended batts as well as creating felted items such as pins, jewelry and a variety of knitting/spinning accessories.
