Kim, the adorable lady behind Lucky Cat Crafts, has these fantastical fiber blends specially milled in small batches.

We love the warm smoky palette of colors she has created by blending unique undyed fibers in soft greys and browns.

Below is a handspun yarn made with Lucky Cat Yak/Angora, a blend of two downy fibers that are so fluffy soft and ethereal, it almost feels like you are touching sunshine.

Lucky Cat Crafts' fibers are a dream to work with! They are perfect for a special project and extra soft against sensitive skin. We hope you love them as much as we do!

New Handspun Yak Yarn & Fiber from Rocking Yak!

Handspun yak yarn is here! This super special yarn is made on the Tibetan plateau, using traditional Tibetan spinning methods.

The yak fiber is first gathered as the yaks shed their downy undercoat in the summer. Once the fiber is cleaned, it is spun and plied on handmade support spindles by local spinners.

By giving the spinners a way to work from home and stay in the villages, Rocking Yak empowers families to live a more traditional lifestyle. Often, members of rural families must go to the city to look for work. This beautiful yarn brings economic value to the Tibetan skills of rearing yak and spinning wool and helps to alleviate poverty in rural villages, allowing families a better income.

Some of the yarns are naturally dyed using plants that are gathered locally on the plateau.

Here are some of the lovely ladies who make this pretty yarn!

If you are inspired to spin some 100% yak down yourself--it is now available in our spinning section! It's unbelievably soft, sproingy and super warm. It's pretty dreamy!

New Yarn and Spinning Fiber from Anzula!

Three exciting things are here from Anzula: Oasis Camel/Silk Yarn, amazing new spinning fibers & a full restock of our beloved Anzula Squishy.

We are happy to welcome Oasis into the store!

This hand-dyed yarn has a beautiful tweedy texture and the fiber blend of silk and camel carries the dye in the most gorgeous way. It is an abundant 4 ounce skein with 373 yards of loveliness.

We have also picked up some of Anzula's criminally soft and luxurious spinning fiber--including Yak/Merino, Camel/Tussah Silk and Baby Llama. The beautiful range of natural colors are great for overdyeing or using in their natural shades of animal color.

Yum!
