Description

The listing, Box full of Hand Dyed Spinning Fiber - almost 2 lbs! has ended.

I've been spring cleaning my fiber and here's what I decided I can part with: a medium flatrate box full of beautiful hand dyed batts. The pic of the fiber thrown into the box is just for show, of course! It will be carefully wrapped and protected, as customary for my auctions.
Except for the black/blue braid in the first and last pic, it's all from Tactile Fiber Arts, dyed with natural dyestuff.
Most have lost the stickers with info about what fiber it is and what they dyed it with, but you know it's all quality, prepared and dyed in small batches.
The gorgeous red one in pics #1, #2, #4, #13 , #18, and #19 is Wensleydale Longwool dyed with madder. I almost kept this for myself!! But then the box wouldn't be full and.... well, Happy (Belated) Easter to the winner! ;-)
The elegant one in various shades of grey in pics #3, #5, #7, and # 10 is superfine alpaca.
There are usually 4 oz in a package, exept for the silk cap dyed with birch in pics # 3, #6, and #9, that's only 0.8 oz.
From my smoke free and pet free home,
a 9 day auction so y'all have a little time to earn credits! ;-)

OMG! I nearly fainted just reading through the description! :) What a great lot, sadly I am out. I don't have nearly enough credits for this treasure! Good luck to you all! This is an awesome auction!

I am really happy for you, I often list my hand dyed yarns and only once did get 10,000 credits so I hope more people bid on your fibers, if I had the credits I totally would bid

Thanks! I gotta work tonight but then I'm off for 6 nights. Hmmm - free time, tons of un-dyed fiber, lots of Kool-Aid packages left from yarn-dyeing... we'll see, maybe I'll get creative. ;-) Y'all enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Well, I listed some stuff but I don't think I'm going to get enough credits for it but I'm trying at least!

I haven't even started bidding yet
I have a feeling I won't have enough credits, this one feels like it's going to get up there!
I should list some of my hand dyed yarns

I would be if I could! I'm happy that it is going well. Maybe this will help others to list fibers as well!

This is way beyond my limit, but good luck and hopefully you will list more fibers
For us to big on.

Jo Annie: Why did you have to go and do that?!?

I listed some of my hand dyed stash yarn in hopes i can have credits for this, so fingers crossed

I'm pretty sure elkaye or oldteacher will swoop in at the end with the big credits and crush everyone but I still like to try.

Lovely! Can this be used for needle felting or is it just for spinning?
Apr 6th, 2012 at 10:11:20 PM PDT by

Thank you! Silk doesn't felt, but everything else is wool or alpaca roving and will felt. So yes, sure, you could use it for needle felting, felted soap, etc. too. People also use roving for thrumming, where bits of it are knit into the fabric to create an extra warm lining. (Google "thrummed mittens") There's a lot more you can do with this than "just" spin. ;-) Thanks for asking!

Thanks for noticing! ;-) No, seriously, I always do, and it does add up. But I only bid on auctions that offer free shipping, so it equals itself out.

Can you tell if it's suri or huacaya alpaca?
Apr 8th, 2012 at 3:45:16 AM PDT by

I found the info page and it says "huacaya alpaca with a micron count of about 26, dyed with logwood and osage orange".
