Shawl blocked! I went to my lys to get some lace wires but they were all out so the edges of my shawl are a little bumpy. They said they’d call me...

Blue Face Leicester is a wonderful British breed, believed to have come originally from Hexham, Northumberland. The fibre is soft and has a small crimp effect that can give a slight texture to your work. It also has a lovely natural shine, so is wonderful when hand dyed. Great for spinners, felt makers,doll makers and textile artsits… I think you will find this fibre wonderful to work with.
Here’s the list;
- Romney Marsh – Variegated fleeces are available for purchase. Romney is wonderful to dye, spin, felt and embellish with.
- Hand Dyed Fleeces – I have the start of 2013 dye batches to hit the shop; BFL, Gotland, Gotland Cross, Teeswater/Kerry Hill Cross. More will follow as the temperature warms up and increases washing production.
- Hand Dyed Knops – I have a big bag of natural knops waiting to be dyed, so there will be a few more colourways to add to this over the year.
- Limited Edition Batts – I’m carding to order now, so the first colourway options are up and ready to order. Over the next few months, I will add to these.
- Hand Dyed Tops – Just a few left from the Somerset Guild Talk, so make sure to grab what you can and then use the custom order listing to schedule dye batches just for you.
- Texture Boxes – I have some new boxes made up and waiting for you.
You can find all of these in the shop at www.sarastexturecrafts.com from the date above. So mark your diary and come join me.
If you shop with me on Etsy, or DaWanda you will find a smaller update in the following weeks.
If you want to see more of the shop update details and see items in the ‘flesh’ so to speak. Check out my next podcast episode at www.dreaminginfibre.blogspot.com

It’s that time again and I really want to think Spring today. So I’m thinking all things succulaent and fresh.
I have a yard here at HQ, so no earth to dig into. Of course that doesn’t rule out tubs and pots, but it means I don’t have the oppourtunity to cut fresh flowers for my living room (well, that and I suffer terribly with allergies!) Succulents, it seems might be the answer for me… so off to look on www.Esty.com I went…
Here is my top indie picks;
