GALAXIES: The Universe In Fiber Battlets

A new adventure in spinning for those who love a Universe of color and texture… introducing GALAXIES: The Universe In Fiber, a collection of colorways based on some of the most beautiful images of nebulae and celestial objects in the known Universe, as captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

These battlets in 2oz increments are limited edition and each batch will have their own unique qualities. All batts are a blend of fine wools plus an assortment that may include: alpaca, Tussah or Mulberry silk, viscose or rayon, nylons, neps of various materials, sparkle, and other wools and locks, potentially including Mohair.

Each colorway is based on my artistic interpretation of the colors and textures pictured here: I am very well known for how I translate images into colorways and I really love doing it! I promise you a fun and inspirational spinning or felting experience with your Galaxies battlets.
About “battlets” – these are small knots of carded fiber that I create from a larger carded batt or collection of batts. I split the fiber into strips that are easier to work with and to mix up as you spin or felt to make sure that your colors align the way you envision. They are really fun and easy to work with, as well as being just pretty to look at! I create these to also freely mix together from colorway to colorway, for a really creative experience.

Shipping in the USA is included in price!
