bamboozled... :)

...so a dear friend of mine sent me her stash of bamboo fiber and dyes to go with it, and wouldn't ya know it? i'm hooked!

check out my first attempts:

brook

it IS quite a bit different from kettle dyeing wool and protein fibers, but i love how the plant fibers really drink in the dyewater and have a brilliant, silky sheen... :)

fresh petals

so i've ordered more supplies and lots of interesting fibers to play with and i'm super excited to add these into the mix of deLushous fibers in the shop :)

and now, Lush Benders! :)

...i'm super excited to present my version of hand spun yarns spun directly onto wire, Lush Benders!

totally moldable mini art yarns that have whimsical themes and artful inclusions :)

perfect little bundles at 9 feet in length to add a delightful handspun element to your crafting project :)

Woodland Lush Bender

i'm hoping that they will inspire you to take art yarns to the next level and sculpt them into your own masterpiece!

use them as garland, trim, any sort of embellishment :)

bend them... cut and glue them... even crochet or knit with them! add some whimsy to your table top, your window treatments, or your powder room :)

Embrace Lush Bender

just my way of exploring the things i love to combine: color, texture, and function, and a whole lot of lush yumminess :)

they will be individually listed in the shop and then offered as custom orders...

new styles will be added throughout the seasons with custom requests delightfully taken :)
