STONESHEEP MERINO BLEND ~ Teal
Blended and Dyed in Germany
From museling free farms
Beautifully dyed in deep colours, these fleeces are very suitable for felting objects, bags etc. The fibers are of medium length and produce a strong felt, needle or wet felt alike. The fleece is a mix of dyed and dark brown/black, giving the wool an extra layer of depth.
The colours shown on the picture are as close to the original colours as possible. Nonetheless, your screen might influence the different colour depths of the picture shown.
WOAD 'BIRMINGHAM' SEEDS ~ grown to organic standards
WOAD BIRMINGHAM ~ grown to organic standards by us (not yet organically certified)
Growing dye plants gives you a feeling of connection to nature, that is unique and I am delighted that you are thinking of taking that step. There can never be enough growers on our Earth and I do believe that growing your own colour adds yet another dimension to gardening and the plant world as a whole. If you can keep it organic, do, the colours are richer and the flora and fauna will thank you for it, as do we. Enjoy!
Woad Birmingham is a little gem originating from Canada. We are always delighted to receive a new variant of Woad. Sent to us from a member of the Woad Project Facebook group. It has a few special characteristics: a crinkled leaf edge, strong waxy leaves and gives a beautiful blue green colour.
Woad has been used for centuries to obtain a blue dye. An attractive plant with 1m high stems, long succulent leaves, which shine like stained glass, with inner blue; foamy clusters and brilliant yellow flowers.
Woad is a biannual plant and the leaves are used for dyeing in the first year. Once the flowers have formed in the second year, the leaves only obtain very little dye and the second year is therefore only used for seed collection.
Sow: In Spring, late February to March in trays
Harvest: Leaves first year from early June

Woad Tewkesbury is well known for creating the best and strongest blue to date. First discovered in the hills near Tewkesbury, UK by Dr. Hill as a child, this variety of Woad is truly famous. One of my favourites!

YETI ZAAR ~ Yak & Silk yarn
Creating wearable Colours in a close relationship with nature - this Palette has been inspired by Irish Moors, Mountain flowers and Mossy Woodland Rivers.
Light and silky to the touch, Yeti is made from equal amounts of Yak and Mulberry Silk fibres – spun into a fine fingering weight yarn to create garments which are as light as a feather.
This yarn makes a wonderful all year garment – both, yak and silk, are temperature regulators.
Yak is one of the most expensive fibre in the world – with being warmer than sheep wool and still as soft as cashmere, it will keep you warm and cosy when needed.
It is hard wearing, durable, soft, warm and light weight.
Check out Criostal, designed by Albina from Lbhandknits, it highlights Yeti in a simple delicate shawl pattern.
