Well, they're are going to take a spin on a Kumihimo disk - so I'm not telling fibs!
I love fibers & textiles, especially colourful fibers & textiles. I buy them, I stash them away & I hoard them, occasionally I take them out & fondle them! The fact that 80% of what I have bought doesn't get used is academic! It will.....one day.
That, however, doesn't stop me from buying more, although I must admit that since glass I have been very well behaved...sort of!
This lot I shall happily blame on Jo - they were her discovery at Hands Ashford. Of course it wasn't me that suggested a trip into the country to visit the showroom of the creator of these wonderful hand dyed fibers last Friday. Jane's studio was a positive Aladdin's Cave of delightful colourful fibers & threads. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Jane, but her wonderful husband Rob was more than willing to help us out & let us browse & buy.
If you are into fibers I can highly recommend a visit to Janes Van Keulen's website - there you will discover an array of hand dyed silks, rayon's, cottons & so very much more. Of course if you are hesistant about buying online, prefering to have a more 'hands on'experince - I will gladly offer my services as a personal shopper!
Additions to my Fiber StashNow for a sneak preview at a couple of beads that will be part of my totem....or parts of them anyway ;o)
