The shop is now closed for a while to make certain that I can complete all of the orders in time for Christmas. I expect to open the shop again towards the middle to end of December.
Happy Holidays and Happy Spinning everyone!

This colourway was made up for the 'Silk Roads' rolag club. I chose this semi precious stone as an inspiration because Jade, from ancient times was extremely important to the Chinese, not only for its beauty, but because of what it represents. Confucius said that there are 11 De, or virtues, represented in jade: benevolence, justice, propriety, truth, credibility, music, loyalty, heaven, earth, morality, and intelligence.
The Han Dynasty also made jade burial suits for their rulers because they believed jade to possess magical properties that would protect the body from decay and ward off evil spirits.
The rolags are composed of
18.5 micron merino
21 micron merino
Tussah silk
Red Eri silk, which helps to incorporate a beautiful shimmer and the hint of yellow brown inclusions seen on the unworked jade photograph.
The merino in this blend will felt. If you do not wish it to felt, hand wash in cool water.
