SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT
Welcome to My Shop
Welcome to KnoxFarmFiber, the shop for handspun and hand dyed yarn and supplies from the fiber animals at Knox Farm State Park in East Aurora NY.
Wool- the ultimate in renewing, recycling and re-using.
What is organic yarn anyway? If it means the sheep are well-fed, well-cared-for, have lots of pesticide-free pasture, are protected against predators, in good health with lots of friends----and then their wool is cleaned with eco-detergent, dried in the fresh air, carded the old fashioned way and dyed by hand with low-impact environmentally friendly dyes, spun by hand, and labeled with a photo of the sheep who donated it.....if that's organic yarn, then this is the place to buy some.
N.B.--Of course not all of the yarns in the shop are organic, though most are. I've been spinning some corepsun yarns lately just for fun. These start with our own wool and mohair, but then all kinds of fibers are added (ribbon, cotton, glitter etc). It's ok the mix it up a little--yes?
Note 1: I am now using "Greener Shades" --an eco-dye--in our yarn and roving.
Note 2: No fragrance of any sort is used in the making of these yarns. There is no cigarette smoke at all. The only animal is a short-haired dog who is not remotely interested in the fiber. Any other questions about allergens, please ask.
As a "basic" shop I can only show one of my skeins per listing. Usually I have 2 or more skeins per listing. Just contact me to ask how many skeins are available. Thanks.
