Mini Carded Batts...

As suggested by some of you who love to felt, I am adding a new batt to the store. Fiber Monster is now having mini carded batts. Each batt is approximately 1 oz. So hopefully this is the size that is suitable for felting since you don't really need a lot of fiber. Spinner can also mix the different 1 oz batts together to create your very own unique handspun yarn.

So many possibilities...

Today I was organizing my fiber bins and found that I actually have some handdyed wool tops that didn't get tagged or photographed at all. It's good thing that I keep my fiber safe and clean. But it's bad thing that I didn't notice what was in the boxes. So I spent this afternoon taking the photos, tagged, and listed them on my etsy store.

 Banana Boats - Merino Top

Moccasin BFL Top - 6471

When I found them I thought I could just add them to my stash.  But then I looked at my stash shelves (notice an "s" there) thought long... and hard and decided that these fibers should go to good home.  Plus there are wonderful spinners and lots of fiber artists out there who could turn these handdyed wool into something spectacular.  It will be wonderful to see the finished projects.  So send me some pics.  Better yet join Fiber Monster's Group at Flickr.

You will get a one-time offer FREE shipping on your next purchase at my etsy shop http://fibermonster.etsy.com.  Let me know before you place an order.  I can get it taking of for you or email me for revised invoice before payment.

And as I continue to organize my studio, I probably will have another surprise to show you.

I also spent time on spinning.  Both are spun in single and bulky weight.  I planned to knit a cowl with Proton multicolored merino.  The other handspun yarn in rainbow is self-stripping designed for a hat.  I spun it from the last Rainbow corriedale top I dyed.  This one didn't make it to the shop.  Love it too much to let go.

Honeybee for your holiday project?

*** Updated 11/24/09: This set is sold and no longer available at 12 oz at this time. However I do have 3 oz set at my shop if you are interested.

Are you planning on spinning larger project for this holiday seasons? Look no further. With special quantity discount pricing, this one is for you.

12 oz of "Honeybee" batts. Honeybee is 100% colonial wool drumcarded with tender loving care by me. This wool is very similar to corriedale but feels much softer. You've got to try it.

Normally it's US $16.00 for 3 oz. With special quantity discount, you pay US $55.00 for 12 oz. instead of US $64.00. That's about 15% off!

Buy some for you, give some as a gift. 12 oz gives you more options at great price. If you are interested in other colorway or have any questions, please email with your inquiry. I can check my inventory and will let you know.

Happy November Day :)
