New Etsy Shop?

posted in: Spinning Fiber, Uncategorized | 0

I have opened an Etsy shop with my identical twin sister.  We have been wanting to work on something together and thought it would be fun to open an Etsy shop together!!  I will have special items in the Etsy shop that will not be in the Herman Hills Knittery online shop.  I have been working on a few new knit items too so keep an eye on my shop and the new Etsy!! This shop is also part of the Fiber Indie eXperience (FIX) and purchases made here will enter you in the FIX drawings!

The photo above is an example of a few items that are in the Spin to Yarn Etsy shop. As you may know, my sister’s shop Spin to Yarn (her main site, not the Etsy one) has many Schacht and Louet products in it (with more Schacht items to be listed soon including the new Sidekick wheel-more on that in a later post!).  She will be listing a few Louet items on Etsy, but all the Schacht items will only be available through the main Spin to Yarn website.

ALPACA!

Washed Alpaca Locks

I have been washing up some AWESOME alpaca fleece.  I have been spinning it as soon as it is dry!  Yes, it is that awesome.  I have set aside a little bit for the shop, so check it out! It is so soft it just about spins itself!   I really love the  color.  It is a nice light chocolate brown.  I am blending some batts and will post a few after I get them spun up!

Wensleydale Locks

Washed Wensleydale Locks

I had some time to sort through my fleeces and wash up some locks.  I will be dyeing some for my batts and art yarns.  I have listed some washed locks in the shop and will be adding some dyed ones soon!  These fleeces are really super nice.  The locks are extra long, around 5+ inches (relaxed length, not stretched length!)  These are the perfect length for spinning, carding, art yarns, felting projects, you name it!
