Breezy

I'll be posting these on my website today or this weekend.

The new colorway I'm adding reminds me of an early spring day with the sun shining, warm breezes and blue sky with puffy clouds.

Merino Superwash/Nylon Sock weight yarn.

I'll be making a pair for myself out of this colorway.





Merino Superwash Roving - Delightful to spin

100% Wool roving divided into long strips, ready to spin. I'll post photos of the finished yarn soon.

Handspun Silk!

I enjoy dyeing and spinning silk, but I have so many knitting projects waiting to be started that I often have more handspun silk than I can personally use. Thus, I'll be selling handspun silk as I get it measured and photographed.


Hand dyed, hand spun silk skein.

Another favorite, Yak. Here I've used one ply silk and one ply Yak.. This brings out the best of both fibers, soft and luxurious, wonderful drape!

Spinning Batts



Daddy's Girl - Mohair/Wool/ Superwash/Angelina/Cotton Denim -
Just like a little girl, all pink and pretty playing dress up with mommy's sparkly jewelry but with a bit of tomboy evident. Merino & superwash wool in bubblegum pink and natural colors blended with clouds of cotton candy fine kid mohair, crystal angelina, and just a sprinkle of shredded denim fiber, for a soft and slightly textured yummy blend to spin.







Royalty - Wool/Mohair - Very fine silver Corriedale wool from a best in show fleece, gently blended with Royal purple fine kid mohair for soft and lofty batts.

New Patterns

After trying several sock patterns for simple cable socks, I wasn't happy with any of them. While working on a sock for a friend, I jotted down my notes as I worked on the socks and came up with my own pattern...

New Spinning Fibers

New fibers added to Simply Divine Fibers website


Wine - beautiful blend of mohair and silk. Color is off in the photo.. it's a soft wine... It look good when I load it from my camera, but then on the page it looks off.. I'll try again to get a better photo.



Firelight: Wool, Mohair, Alpaca, Firestar.
A gorgeous blend, a delight to spin, the gold color seems to glow through the crimsom shades.
