What’s the Stitch About Knitting Machines?
Let's talk about knitting machines! What are they, how do they work, and does it count as hand crafting if you use one? Why choose a knitting machine vs knitting by hand?

Featured in our November 2017 Fiber of the Month Club Box!
Our special line of Rose Fiber Micro-blends was design specially for our club members. Each color was carefully crafted to mimic the brilliant sheen and depth found in Gemstones. These colors can be spun alone or blended/plied with our lines of solid colored Merino Wool, Mulberry Silk, Tussah Silk, and many other fibers! The possibilities are endless! The Gems of Paradise were designed to be an exploration in color and fiber content. Don't be afraid to strip the colors down, get messy, get creative, and most importantly; have fun! Try Fractal spinning with the complete line for a truly one of a kind yarn!
Because the Gems of Paradise are 40% Superfine Merino Wool, the fibers will wet and needle felt very nicely! You can even weave with the rovings as is! The silk and rose fiber content create beautiful sheen to the fiber and adds strength to your yarn. The Faux Cashmere adds a little stretch and incredible softness! Your finished yarn will have lovely drape. Try the Gem Line for yourself and experience this truly magnificent luxury fiber!
Try Dyeing your own colorway using Country Classics Dye and the "Diamond" Colorway!
1 Jar of "no fuss" Country Classics Dye will dye 2 lbs of fiber!
