DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE ON MULTI-ITEM ORDERS!
We updated our shipping policy to try and come into line with Etsy's policy on offering free shipping. As we ship worldwide this makes coming up with a one-price-fits-all very difficult, therefore we have managed to keep the free shipping option for UK but just cannot absorb the extra shipping cost involved when shipping to the rest of the world (and especially not the USA, after the recent huge increase in prices). We may be able to give a discount (in the form of a small refund) to UK customers and those ordering several items to ship in one package. As always if you are unsure and would like clarification before you put through an order, please ask, we will be happy to get back to you.
Thanks for your interest in MandaCrafts!

5 out of 5 starsDelighted with this fibre. Using a wrist distaff, spinning supported then n-plying suspended. Drafts easily to my default 20 wpi when plied. Lovely rich colours with surprisingly subtle gradations. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsJust a really wonderful array of colours for this high quality silk noil, expanding my current palette enormously, giving me so much more choice when creating pictures, using needle felting. Very very pleased.

About MandaCrafts
-
I buy a limited palette of 7 or 8 colours of powdered dye. I then make solutions and mix them to create many shades.
-
I lay wool tops on my workbench and pour on stripes of colour, I leave gaps so that I can blend colours where they meet.
-
I usually use five colours and repeat them twice across. I match my colours to a control card.
-
I wrap the dyed tops in plastic and steam them to set the dyes
-
The finished space-dyed tops!
Welcome to MandaCrafts! For hand dyed fibres and support spindles (when I can get hold of the whorls).

Owner, Chief Dyer, Spindle Tester
Hello, I've been a handspinner and dyer for over 35 years now, and have been dyeing all sorts of fibres for the enjoyment of others for around 20 years. I get the job of testing all the spindles for balance too.

This is my DH, he takes all the product photographs and helps out with the dyeing too. He is in charge of dyeing the semi-solids on the hob in the kitchen. He also makes the little support spindles and creates the hand made braid for the wristaffs.
