Spring Morning: Hand Combed
Originally uploaded by polyartgirl

Newest combed rovings... 9 little roving cakes in the most delicious color... the warmest, softest brown milk fiber and bamboo blended with spring green merino and a touch of angelina. This has to be one of my favorite combed blends ever.

Phat Samples for April
Originally uploaded by polyartgirl

Hand-painted bamboo samples for Phat Fiber. I'll list the rest on Etsy... well, most of it. I think some of it will be combed into some rovings... maybe a little more of it will be spun up into a gorgeous single yarn. Maybe there won't be much on Etsy... or not for long anyway!

Silk Latte - Milk Fiber
Originally uploaded by polyartgirl

New!! I'll be listing these milk fiber rovings as well as blending the milk fiber into my current combed rovings. I'm so excited to start offering this beautiful fiber in my Etsy shop this month.

The fiber is incredibly soft. I'll have to spin a sample soon.

Some info about Silk Latte:
Milk Fiber advantages:

* Superior in strength to wool!
* Contains 17 amino acids and natural anti-bacterial properties...hint hint..socks...
* Same ph as human skin (great for sensitive skin!)
* Milk Fiber is enviro-friendly and is considered a "green" product.
*Milk fiber is made from milk casein, instead of fresh milk
