More fibery fun from my June Phat Fiber box:
Gorgeous green and grey “UFO” sport weight bamboo/merino Superwash 80%sw merino, 20% bamboo. By Sunrise Fiber Co. at www.sunrisefiberco.com
On the spinning yummies side, I have some recycled silk sari fibers from lanitiumexmachina.com and their website is lanitiumexmachina.etsy.com. These fibers look like they’re going to be gorgeous when I combine them with other fibers.
I’ve also got sample from Rebel Yarn rebelyarn.etsy.com, 100 % corriedale in a colorway called “Red Portal”
As with most of the Phat Fiber Samples, you can find more of these beauties at their stores.
