Wool for the People

Nothing better than closing down for the night with full racks.

Look at these luscious locks! Mer’s got these going on the Brother Power Picker right now and they’re so curly and bouncy!

A wild Sierra from All Knit Up has appeared at craft night! We’re open until 8pm tonight 🥰

Our July Breed Box closes on June 15th! If you would like to receive a four ounce braid of Shetland wool grown in Buckley, WA and milled here in Portland, OR visit our website and sign up while you still can. You have the option of a unique hand dyed colorway (seen here) or a naturally colored undyed braid!

Destiny of Seattle Yarn and Huephoria Fibers is interested in adding hand dyed local wool to their shop offerings. Where to start?

Wool for the People! It’s always a joy to take someone through a fleece sale and help them find exactly what they are looking for. What we see as millers and what they can expect as indie dyers and hand spinners.

Long Live Local Wool!

Tuesday is gonna be great! Not only are we open our regular hours of 4-8pm for shopping & crafting, but we will also have a trunk show from All Knit Up Designs! Come shop bags, patterns, and more.

As usual we are open by appointment the rest of the week!

Competition was fierce at the sales tables this year but we managed to snag a fleece Kas was eyeing since pre-judging…it won Reserve Champion! That means this 100% natural silver colored Romney, grown in Maple Valley WA by Lin and Al Schwider, will be the next fleece in our Best Of line!

Lin and Al also grew the Grand Champion Romney this year, congrats to them for sweeping the top two (and probably more) spots!

Shepherds to handspinners, we recommend fleece judging as an educational tool for everyone. Producers, for a low judging fee you get amazing feedback from the experts on both the quality of your fleeces and your show prep (skirting, shearing, etc).

Handspinners and fiber artists, this is an amazing resource to increase your wool knowledge. As an expert I still attend all of the fleece judging I am able to, even after fifteen years I learn something new almost every time. Judges are an incredible resource, will often narrate what they are doing, what forms the decisions they make, and are often available for questions.

If you have the opportunity to attend a fleece judging, take it.

Setting up at Fiber Fusion!! Look at all these fleeces! Look at all this used equipment! This is only the first building! 🐑

If you are dropping fleeces off to us today please leave them in your vehicle and send me a message, I’ll meet you at your car :)
