A collection of hand dyed colourways. Not designed as a true Fade set, but as a set of colours that all work together, providing contrast, difference in tonal value, but still colours that will work together when used in one project.
Perfect for many of Andrea Mowry's patterns like Nightshift, or Shifty, ideal for the spinner who wants to get creative with their handspun.
Hand dyed on Tweed Wool blended combed top.
A beautifully textured blend, that will create a classic tweed textured yarn.
This fibre has been well blended to distribute the nepps evenly throughout the fibre. When spun it creates a yarn with just enough nepps to give an interesting effect, but not so many that you it feels like spinning the fluff from a tumble dryer.
90% South American Wool
10% Viscose Tweed Nepps
The South American Wool in this blend is 25-26 microns, the staple length is around 75-80mm. It's a classic, multi-function fibre with great durability, but still soft enough for many to wear next to skin. The fibre has a slight sheen and lustre, and is beautiful to spin.
360g (12.7oz)
~60g (2.1oz) of each colour way.
Hand dyed by me in my home in the Welsh hills using acid dyes, these give strong long lasting colours.
This fibre is hand dyed in small batches. Each colour way is unique, and not dyed to a recipe. Multiple packs in each colourway are available, and will contain braids that were dyed at the same time using the same dye stock, but no braid will be identical. Please buy enough fibre to complete your project, I won't be able to replicate these colourways.
Cool handwash only, will felt. For more detailed washing instructions take a look here.
Established in 2011, Hilltop Cloud is run, and owned by Katie Weston. I live in rural mid-Wales and spend my days surrounded by colour, and beautiful fibre. I think I have the best job in the world and am really happy to be able to share what I create.
