Spin, Dye, and Felt It Yourself

In case you just happen to be a fan of yarn, color, and craft (Who, us? Why, yes!), then you'll love Louet's trio of new kits for spinning, dying, and felting your own yarn at home.

The Drop Spindle Kit is a great introduction to the ancient art of spinning fiber into yarn.  The simple drop spindle comes with a 1/2-pound of beautiful all-natural fiber, wool wash, and a complete set of directions.  This is a perfect beginner's activity for adults or kids.

The Hand-dying Kit is simple and safe enough to play with at home without worrying about messy (or toxic) clean-up.  We have the kit in all five color families:  blues, greens, browns, reds, and pinks.  Three skeins of Louet's 100% merino Gems yarn are your blank canvas. Will you create the must-have yarn palette of 2007? 

 

The Needle Felting Kit provides a fun introduction to this elaborate technique. Using needles and fabric, you can apply felt almost like paint on paper.  You can also create three-dimensional objects, like the cute pumpkin pattern included in the kit.

We have all three kits on the website and at the shop, so stop by and check them out!
