Spinning & Felting

Hand-dyed fiber inspired by stories — perfect for spinning, felting, blending, and exploring color.

Whether you spin on a wheel or spindle, felt by hand or needle, or simply love collecting beautiful fiber, this is where your next project begins. Each braid is hand-dyed in small batches in my Arizona studio, inspired by stories, nature, and the magic of color.

Explore soft, luxurious fibers — from Merino and Polwarth to heritage breeds and textured blends — ready to become yarn, felted art, or part of your creative stash.

Not sure where to begin?

Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the best fiber for spinning or felting.


Merino

Soft, fine, and beginner-friendly. Spins into smooth, versatile yarn and felts beautifully. Perfect for garments, accessories, and next-to-skin projects.

Polwarth

A dreamy balance of softness and bounce. Easier to draft than Merino with a bit more structure. Ideal for sweaters, shawls, and cozy accessories.

British Bluefaced Leicester (BFL)

A longwool with beautiful sheen and durability. Spins into strong, lustrous yarn that drapes well. Fantastic for socks, shawls, and garments that need strength.

Cheviot

Springy, sturdy, and wonderfully plump. Cheviot drafts easily and spins into hard-wearing yarn with excellent resilience — perfect for textured knits, outerwear, and durable accessories.

Please note: Cheviot is a more rustic fiber. If you’re sensitive to “scratchy” textures, it may not be the best choice for next-to-skin items.

Southdown

Exceptionally bouncy with a short, grippy staple. Perfect for beginners who want a fiber that drafts easily and spins into warm, elastic yarn. Naturally resistant to felting, so it is ideal for socks, mittens, and long-lasting garments.

Please note: Southdown has a naturally rustic feel. Makers who are sensitive to texture may find it scratchy for next-to-skin use.


Romney / Kent Romney

A heritage longwool with natural luster and beautiful definition. Excellent for textured yarns, felting, and art yarns with character.
