New fiber/Summer sales

Just a quick update to let all of you spinners know that we have some fabulous new balls of hand painted roving from Fleece Artist now up on our site. These gorgeous balls of fiber contain 250 g of fiber which is equivalent to 8.2 oz. This is enough fiber to spin yarn for a pair of socks or a light shawl depending on how thickly you spin your yarn or how many plies are in the skein. These balls are absolutely gorgeous. We only have one ball of each so don't wait to order!

Here are a couple of our favorites. First, here is a luxurious 70% merino and 30% silk ball of fiber. The silk adds a beautiful shine to the fiber. This one is gorgeous 100% BFL (blue faced leicester) spinning fiber also known as "British merino." This yarn spins up wonderfully even for beginning spinners and the colors are really incredible.

Please check this section often for more beautiful balls of fiber from Fleece Artist.

We also wanted to let you know to keep any eye out for our summer sale newsletters as well as to regularly check the close-out/sale section of our store for special deals. We are cleaning out our inventory to make room for some wonderful new products. Happy shopping!
