Dramatically discounted mystery luxury fibers from my secret stash of seconds.
This mystery box is a totally random and dramatically discounted selection of fiber from the three fates yarns stash of seconds. This is stuff that is not up to my current standards (I've been dyeing fiber for 15 years and I like to think I've gotten a lot better). This stuff has sat on the shelves too long or maybe it's a partial braid. Perhaps I think it's too pale or too dark. I might have broken it it while trying to braid it or it's over petted, it didn't take the dye right, or I just didn't like how it looked at me. I set it my aside in my basement, it bred and well, it needs to leave my house.
The thing is, spinners do what spinners do and break it up, comb it and make beautiful yarns. So, it's spinnable for the right spinner. If you are a beginning spinner let me know and I will make sure that the fibers are among the easier (least compacted ones) to spin.
Luxury fiber contains yak or silk. It might also be cormo, superfine or australian merino. Generally this stuff retails around $180 / lb. There might be a silk hanky.
Not all the fiber is labeled either, though I can do my best and tell you that x is probably merino silk, or polwarth silk or blueface, or polwarth, targhee etc. I'm pretty good at keeping the superwash out too, so let me know if you plan to use the contents for felting and don't want any.
And in the last ten years I've had polwarth silk, bluefaced leicester silk, yak merino, merino yak silk, rambouillet silk, rambouillet yak silk, superfine merino, cormo, alpaca, polwarth mohair silk, etc.
