Hand-dyer Recommendations

kbrown99 · Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2012 7:01 pm Post subject: Hand-dyer Recommendations

Who are your favorite dyers for spinning fiber?

I'm wanting recommendations because doing a search on etsy is soooo overwhelming with how many items show up. Plus, I don't want to get crappy fiber that's felted so I'd love to hear about your favorites.

I already buy from Family Pendragon and have Bugsnugger in my favorites as well as a couple others, but I would like to hear some other options.

TIA

One of my favorites is Fat Cat Knits, beware her fiber is addictive. I've spun tons of fiber and hers are one of the best!

Thanks everyone!

There are just so many names out there and I'm just not familiar with all of them so it's good to get info from spinners who've tried their wares. Buying yarn isn't as iffy as buying fiber, IYKWIM.

I don't spin, but I've heard good things about Scarlet's fiber at Huckleberry Knits.
