Dyed Fleece Locks

Glad to find dyed fleece locks here (on Etsy dyed locks are more expensive). Now, I do wish they'd come washed, however, considering a good price, I can wash them myself. I need them to complete a shawl that I had knitted but which turned out a tad too thin to match a winter hat I knitted later. Instead of ripping out/remaking the shawl I decided to add a felted detail incorporating dyed locks,- this way the shawl becomes so much warmer for winter wear. I did need a shade of red/apricot/orange, and the Paradise Fibers offering dyed locks as a bag fool of colours was just great for me, since I knew it isn't easy to find a perfect match of locks for my shawl 's color yarn and I would have to combine various colours in order to achieve the shade I need. Now, thank Heavens, I can finish the project and have no more of those perfection-crazed creative torments of mine. Thank you, PF !

Wavy weaving Shuttles

I saw on line how these wavy shuttles can be used - really beautiful and not easily replicated in some other way (not that I could find anyway), so it was nice to find this weaving tool on Paradise Fibers. I did wait for a discount to buy these, for they are rather pricey, and I did want to get at least one of each size, since I own Rigid Heddle looms in all 3 widths: 16", 24" and 36". Now that I received mine from Paradise Fibers and got some yarn, I'm looking forward to complete my knitting projects and go back to weaving using my newly acquired "toys". Thanks, Paradise Fibers!

Product Details

 A beautiful high luster wool with a well defined crimp ideal for medium to thick yarns. These locks have been scoured only. Give a light wash and they are ready to use in many different craft applications such as handspinning, carding, combing, felting, weaving, knitting, and more!

Micron count - 38-40

Staple length - 6-8 inches 

Ideas for Use:

  • Separate into individual groups of colour.
  • Spinning - Open the fiber out and spin a soft single thread. Ply with a fine cotton, silk or commercial woollen thread to strengthen the yarn for knitting. The fine thread will be almost hidden in the yarn and won't obscure the fabulous colors.
  • Weaving - Use the beautiful shiney staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics. Handknot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings.
  • Felting - Use the coloured staples as surface decoration. They look fantastic lightly felted into the surface of a natural colour felt.

*The sheep are well cared for and are not mulesed.
