Fibreworks Mohair, Alpaca, Wool and Silk varieties (all hand-dyed)
Please note: Fibreworks yarns are temporarily unavailable.
Due to a serious car accident, Gill who dyes all the lovely Fibreworks yarns will be out of action for the next few months. Our thoughts are with Gill and her family, and we wish her a full and speedy recovery. We apologise for the inconvenience of not being able to supply this lovely range of yarns, we will let you know in our update email when Fibreworks are back up and running.
Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarns, we don't hold stock. Orders are dyed as job lots to ensure continuity of the dye-lots. Please allow 5-7 days for dispatch. We will send you an email to let you know of any delays.

* though the mohair is an 8 ply sport weight, we recommend that it is knitted as if it were 12 ply worsted weight to enable the production of a light airy garment - mohair is extremely warm! You would need about 2x300g skeins for a ladies sweater. For the Alpaca, you would need about 4x200g skeins to knit a ladies sweater.
