Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts specializes in unique and unusual fibre
offerings for the spinner interested in working with exotic fibres, high
quality wools, and cottons. We also carry premium supported spindles,
drop spindles, fibre related tools, and select yarns and books.
This business is the result of many years of trying to find superior
exotic fibres and fibre preparations in a limited market. In the course
of this search I found I was not alone – many spinners and knitters
want something just a little different, but don’t want to sacrifice
quality, price, or time. This is where Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts comes
in. All of our fibres and tools are carefully selected to be of the
highest quality, while maintaining prices that are affordable.
For our fibre preparation we use only the best mini-mills who have
extensive experience in working with these fibres, so you can be
certain that our products are properly dehaired and carded, and will be
a breeze to spin. In addition we are able to offer many unique blends
of exotic fibres found no where else on the market. Our specialty
blends make spinning exotic fibre simple and easy, and we are always
open to suggestions for new products.
Exotic fibres are very rewarding to work with, since in addition to the
exquisite handle and unique quality of the yarns that can be made from
exotic fibres, a little exotic fibre will go a very long way! For instance,
50 grams of an exotic fibre or fibre blend when spun as a fingering
weight yarn will provide sufficient yarn to make a nice scarf, cowl, or
mini-shawl. Many exotic fibres are much warmer than wool, and
therefore can be spun into fine yarns to produce the same effect as a
much heavier wool item.
If you are unsure how much of a particular fibre of fibre blend to
purchase for the project you have in mind, please do not hesitate to
ask for advice on the quantity that you will require. We will be more
than happy to assist you in choosing exactly the right fibres for your
project, and in determining how much you will need.
