~ 100g of lovely hand dyed Shetland fibre in pale purples and greys.
This colourway was inspired by amethyst geodes.
Beautiful British wool, this Shetland fibre is around 30 microns.
Use Hand Dyed Shetland for …
Shetland fibre is ideal for those who are just starting out on their journey as handspinners. It is bouncy and crimpy which makes it cooperative to spin. Shetland fibre lends itself to being spun as a fine lace weight yarn, think of Shetland shawls. It can also be spun thick and thin to make a really bouncy slub yarn for excellent texture.
If more than one braid is available, the same dyes and techniques will have been used but each braid will be unique.
My Process.
I have developed my small batch hand dyeing method so I can avoid single use plastics and minimize water and energy usage. I dye using acid dyes, fixed with heat and fully exhausted so nothing nasty goes down the drain to my septic tank.
Whilst photographing this product I have done my best to present the colours as they are in real life. Please bear in mind that monitors differ so accuracy may vary.
