Purchases from Wolfville

Here are a few more purchases, this time from Wolfville.

I couldn't pass up these fibres! These will certainly pop in my next felting project.  (It's easy to see that I have a good internet connection today here in Brooklyn, near Windsor.)

Everything in the bag!

I just love all these but especially the lime green one.

Latest Purchases

I did purchase some wool roving and embroidery supplies at Gaspereau Valley Fibres on Saturday.

 

The cone is 100% cotton that I want to dye using my Intense Color Blocks. I will paint them with a brush, let the fibres dry, then heat set with an iron.

 

The gold and turquoise fibres on the bottom of the photo are root sizing 100 % silk that has also been hand dyed. I would have loved to get the undyed silk so that I could colour it myself.

 

Of course, I couldn't pass up the wool roving. The cone contains some curly roving.

 

Don't you just love the Unicorn Tails! These South African wools were hand dyed in Texas. 

 

I can't wait to use these in some art projects.

 

The card with the lamb will be mailed to my granddaughter with a printed message from me.





Gaspereau Valley Fibres

Today I visited the Gaspereau Valley Fibres Farm Wool Shop in Wolfville, NS. This shop specializes in natural fibres and equipment for knitters, spinners, weavers, felters and dyers. There is also a large selection of Canadian, organic, and local hand painted yarns and fibres.  Lots of delicious eye candy!

Here's a few photos of the interior:

These are tiny socks!

Love the hooked rug sheep!
