Welcome!
Since I have been away I have been looking into the issues which have cropped up thanks to new regualtions in both the EU and the USA.
I am happy to report that I can now dispatch orders to the EU - hurray!
As for the tarriff situation in the USA. The information that I have gained is that individuals can import upto $800 in a single order before tarriffs and other taxes will be levied. However, as the situation has been changing rapidly, it may be advisable to check for any new rules changes with your customs authorities.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss a custom order, please contact me at

The theme of the Phat Fiber Box for April 2017 was Cupcakes and Candy. This gave me a great opportunity to visit some old fashioned sweetie shops to test out sweets for colours and taste ;-)
Eventually I decided to base my colourway on the penny sweets we used to be able to buy in the village shop which were called 'Flying Saucers'.
The flying saucers are made from a type of rice paper, with sherbet in the centre.
For this light, open, hand pulled roving I have used soft, 21 micron merino in shades of yellow, green, blue and pink, blended with mulberry silk and baby llama - with a little sparkle of Angelina. The roving is made by blending the fibres together on my drum carder, and then drafting the fibres from the drum carder using a diz.
This hand pulled roving is light and airy, and will draft effortlessly into a fine yarn.
You will recieve 100g of hand pulled roving nests in the Flying Saucer colourway - without the addition of the Flying saucer sweets shown in the photographs - sorry!
