Loopine is so happy to be the NZ stockist of the beautiful and unique Spincycle Yarns!
From the talented ladies at Spincycle:
‘Dyed In The Wool’
1. (of textiles) dyed before being formed into cloth.
2. (idiomatic) firmly established in a person’s beliefs or habits; deeply ingrained in the nature of a person or thing.
After a decade of operating exclusively as a handspinnery, we set our sights on finding a way to merge the beauty and texture of a handspun yarn with a more efficiently produced millspun yarn. Dyed In The Wool is that yarn.
Our mill is located on Queen Street in Bellingham, Washington, and runs seven days a week. We dye in-house as well, in the same fashion we used to dye when we were handspinning. Our pots are bigger, though! Because we dye the fiber before it’s spun, colors meet and part ways in stunning, unique combinations; the overall effect is of a balanced, seamless whole.
Our color transitions are slow and dramatic, and each skein is unique. When we pull the yarns for your online order, skeins from the same colorway will be a good match to one another. However, lots – and even skeins within lots – vary pretty wildly! That’s our charm and it won’t change! It is strongly recommended that you purchase all skeins at once so that we can make sure they match well. Allow for nuance, and enjoy the ride.
