Showing Huespun Fiberworks

The second installment of the Fiber Study Club features Shetland wool dyed in two very distinct yet compatible colourways. Shetland wool is the fiber of choice for traditional fair isle colourwork and the incredble lace ring shawls of Scotland. This is another beginner friendly wool. Very easy to draft and nice and sticky for new spinners.

Each club box contains a 100g braid of reds and oranges with a hint of pale blue, a 100g braid of greens, purples, pinks, and blues, an undyed sample of Shetland wool, some info on the Shetland breed, original artwork, and a wish for happy spinning! This is a limited edition set available through July 15th.

If you missed the first Fiber Study Club in Charollais fiber, there are two boxes left.

The Northern Mockingbird Fade is inspired by our state bird, a tough little bird unafraid to take on any predator. The full set of five colouways, moving from beiges through teal blues, is available as both full 100g skeins and in mini sets of 20g skeins. Yarn is high twist, low pill, SW fingering. Want to create your own fade or work with just one colour? Full skeins are available individually as well.

There are the usual culprits to be inspired by, especially in the spring. But even road construction can become a colourway. This news series, “expansion takes its toll,” is inspired by the mess and bared bones of some local toll road work and the general, beautiful stone of the area. Expansion, Whitestone Blvd, Limestone, and Strata fiber are all tweed non-SW US Shaniko wool. Unearthed and Look Up! are non-tweed versions of the same.

I love to spin fiber! To encourage others to fall in love with spinning fiber, I’ve started a progressive, quarterly Fiber Study Club. We’ll start with beginner-friendly wools and gradually progress to finer fibers as our skills advance.

The first installment features French Charollais in two colourways, Barcelona and Montjuic sandstone. See my blog post for spin samples and ideas. If you’re an experienced spinner or want an extra challenge, these colours are also available in SW Merino. I’ve also dyed a coordinating yarn which could be used a base with handspun colourwork.

This is a preorder through the middle of April with a limited time discount for newsletter subscribers on all the Barcelona series fiber and yarn. Details in my next newsletter.

Cool Fox on the porch.
A pause in the Alpenglow
Jack Frost at its nose

A friend captured and shared this sweet photo of a fox in the winter landscape of Northern Ontario. I was immediately inspired by the play of the snow, the multiple browns and oranges, and the soft blues. Alpenglow and Jack Frost are dyed on a fingering base in non-SW Merino/Cashmere/nylon. The muted, matte tones give a fluffy look to the yarn, reminiscent of the snow and the furry critter that inspired them. Alpenglow is a popping version of the same colours dyed on SW Merino combed top.

The iconic male cardinal in a snowy winter is the inspiration for this illustrative set of yarns.

Cardinal is a deep red speckled tonal. Birch is colour corrected to a white background, speckled, and resist dyed to produce those unmistakable black “lenticels.” And Snow Blue Sky is an unrealistic childlike blue sky with white snow spots. The spots are random but regular and produce reverse speckling throughout the entire skein.

These are dyed to order on Superwash Superfine Fingering Merino.

Winter in the north holds so many memories of making the best of the short daylight hours, by sledding and skating into the dark, and warming up with hot cocoa or maybe a more adult drink by the fire.

Crisp, juicy pear, blue stinky cheese, and spiced mulled red wine fill this delicious palette of DK-weight yarns, rolags, and combed top. Yarn is available in individual skeins and sets in three bases, Superwash superfine Merino, non-Superwash Merino/Rambouillet, and Superwash BFL.
