Fyberspates is a yarn company specialising in hand dyed yarns and fybers for spinning and felting. We love all sort of fyber-crafts and believe that knitting, spinning and felting are good for the soul!

Our policy

We carefully source all of our yarns, we have personally visited nearly all the places that Fyberspates yarn have been manufactured. We buy yarn from the UK, Peru, Italy, Spain and the USA. These manufacturers have very high standards of production, and have good working standards for their employees, which is something we value highly. We try not to purchase from other countries where we have not personally sourced the yarn/fybers, but occasionally this is necessary, in these cases however are very clear about this in our descriptions so you can make your own choice.

How to choose yarn

We use all sorts of techniques to dye our yarns and fibres, but more often that not the skeins of yarn are hand painted with a brush to produce wonderful colours and patterns. Because each skein is hand painted we cannot guarantee exact consistency of colour between batches, within a batch the colours will be the same, but the patterns may differ a little, if you wish to knit or spin a large garment, it is wise to make sure you purchase yarn or fyber from the same batch, these batches cannot be repeated.

Care of your fyberspates yarn

All the dyes we use are non toxic, and wash fast, which means the colour will not fade, some yarns are absolutely fine for the machine, but please read the descriptions of the yarns for more information. Occasionally on the first wash you may have some excess dye come out in the yarn, this will NOT effect the resulting colour of the yarn, but we suggest the first wash is always done separately

Pattern support

We have an ever expanding range of patterns to support all of our yarns, please see the pattern section for details, you should also see supporting patterns for each yarn below the yarn on the product pages.

If have any problems with any of the patterns, or you need patterns in a larger print face/or different colour, please email us.
