Soysilk RovingHappy Hippie is a lovely hand-dyed soy silk roving for your spinning pleasure. Stop in to see what's available, this doesn't stay on the shelf very long and we only order twice a year at the TNNA show. Shipments usually arrive in late August and late March.

 


Happy Hippie Optim Roving

Optim RovingWhat is Optim you ask? Optim is 100% merino wool that has been "stretched," lengthening the fiber and thereby making it softer, stronger and just darn amazing. Comes the same as the soysilk, get it while you can.

The quote below is from Knitter's Review: "The stretching process—called Optim—was first introduced in Australia in 2002. It permanently alters the molecular structure of merino wool, giving it greater luster that, in turn, reflects dyed colors more brilliantly than the standard merino counterparts."

 


Pastimes Soysilk

pastimes soysilk

Pastimes is one of our favorite yarns. It comes in hundreds of colors and the lovely ladies who dye it will custom dye any number of skeins in any number of color combos.

Diakeito/Dancing Fibers

Diarufuran

This is the softest wool we've ever felt. It's a chainette construction, so it looks a little like a hollow tube, and the yardage is wild: 163 yards per 50-gram ball.


Drops/Garnstudio
