Daily Fibre

Been a busy couple of weekends here at the Loft. I've had a very helpful friend with me, and have now managed to dye every undyed item of stock I had left. There will be some new stuff heading Etsy's way soon.

In the mean time, partly due to the time-intensive nature of photographing and uploading everything and partly due to the fact that I'd like to give my fellow Canadians a break if I can, I'm going to start using this blog for sneak peeks, previews, and if you want them - scoop! I'm going to pre-post new items for sale here, and if you catch me before they make it to Etsy, you can purchase the items in Canadian funds. Contact me at LoftyFibres AT Gmail dot com, and if you're the first, you get to scoop!

Here's a couple projects from the latest batch.

Superwash Merino top, approx. 1/2 pound braids, $22







Superwash BFL top - approx. 4 oz per braid (it's really puffy stuff!) but there are two of each - $15/4 oz.




Two yarns I'm hoping will become pretty standard bases. LoftySocks Plus, a Superwash Merino/Nylon blend, is a great deal at $22/hank:




And LoftySocks Luxe, a Superwash Merino/CASHMERE/Nylon blend. Yum! That tiny cashmere content makes this just dreamy. It is a premium yarn, though - $26/115gm skein.




There are many more to come, I just wanted to get some up to show off.

Finally, a little teaser... if you check my other blog, you'll see the new toy I got in the mail. And with several pounds of loose fibre and mill ends around, and more on the way, well, you might guess I'll be going a little batty in the future.
