This fibre is probably my favourite base of all, and is dyed with natural dyes by the wonderful Charly at Ixchel Bunny. It's a camel/silk/Angora bunny blend and is truly divine.

Jenkins Turkish Spun Camel Silk & Angora Bunny
I make no secret of my love for Jenkins Turkish Spindles. Really, I adore them. I spin finer singles on the Jenkins Turkish Delights, and ply on the larger Turkish. I also tend to save my luxury fibres (especially those with shorter lengths) for spindling, as I feel more in control, plus I love the having the fibre in my hand for longer (it just goes too fast on a wheel).
This fibre is probably my favourite base of all, and is dyed with natural dyes by the wonderful Charly at Ixchel Bunny. It's a camel/silk/Angora bunny blend and is truly divine.

ReplyDeleteThank you! I have 200gm of this stuff, so planning to spin it all up and knit a shawl....yum!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful and squishy soft, it will make a lovely shawl !
ReplyDeleteI have a few Goldings spindles and since I got my wheel I haven't used my spindles and before that I loved spindling. You may have inspired me to just use them again as it's such a shame to have them sitting there because they do spin beautifully and a real pleasure to use.
