Presenting "Mother's Day Daffodils" Falkland spinning fibre from sheep bred in the Falkland Isles. Wonderfully next to the skin soft fluffy fibre, good staple length, very easy to spin and a real pleasure to handle. Named after the beautiful symbol of hope the Daffodil flower which is found in abundance around Mother's Day which this year falls on Sunday 4th April. Will handspin into a beautiful next-to-the-skin-soft yarn making this suitable for all types of clothing and garments especially baby, toddler and children's items. Will felt spectacularly well using wet or needle felting techniques.

approx 110g of luxury, one continuous length delivered as a chained braid with a small little silver heart charm keepsake attached as a thank you for choosing our fibres.

naturally dyed with hand painted and layering techniques using a range of natural dyes made from an unusual combination of ingredients, including dried flower heads giving beautiful yellow and lemon hues going from dark to light along the entire length of fibre, one of a kind blends are created by my own speciality method of natural dyeing which takes up to five days to achieve so all are unique one of a kind fibres.

Extremely challenging to photograph, all pictures are taken in natural daylight but it is still impossible to capture the true beauty of each length of fibre in a photo, there are lots of hues and variation throughout so these really must be seen and handled to be truly appreciated as the photos simply do not do the fibre justice.

All computer monitors or laptop screens display colours differently, I have done my best to give a true representation of the colours so please keep in mind that your screen may be displaying the tones slightly differently to mine.

Only natural dyes produced directly from plants, flowers, herbs, spices, roots and other items usually found on the grocery aisle of the supermarket are used in my designs, no harsh chemicals or irritants are in any of my products so they are kind to your delicate skin and our environment.

Everything is colourfast and has been washed of dye residue, however, it is advisable to wash your finished item once by itself just in case there is a small trace amount of dye excess left in the fibre. Store out of direct sunlight.
