Can't Keep Up!

Hello all, from the fibre-ful Loft.

Been quiet again, but busy. If you check the sidebar over there on the right, you'll see I finally got some updates into Etsy today.

I'm also reviewing inventory. There's LOTS of stuff available - Merino sport-weight, merino sock-weight, lots of mix'n'matchable 50 gram skeins. I don't want to load up Etsy just yet due to the low volume, listing fees, and the fact that it's still a difficult way for Canadians to buy right now, but there's much more available than is listed. If anyone is interested, comment or drop an email to LoftyFibres AT Gmail... yadda yadda, we can chat!

In-stock and either just dyed or ready for dyeing are some yummy yarns. LoftySocks + is a great merino-nylon sock yarn that blows most commercial yarns away and has great bounce. LoftySocks Luxe is the name I've given to a real treat - merino-CASHMERE-nylon yarn, super-soft but still really durable and lovely.

I have some fibre ready to dye, but unfortunately, most of it got snapped up and is at Shall We Knit, but more will be coming. Here's a sample of the handpainted Seawool top:



And, when I work up the nerve to try her out, my little shop has been joined by a Pat Green drum carder - so Lofty's going a bit batty, pretty soon!
