Brunette Brown mohair blythe reborn berenguer doll hair



Here is some beautiful, soft mohair that comes from a kid angora goat. It has been shampooed, rinsed, dyed to lovely, modulated shades of brunette. It has been combed and conditioned. This mohair doll hair reminds me of real human hair because it has highlights and lowlights--just like human hair. It is about nine inches long, so it is really easy to work with. You can either make a really good wig for your doll, or else use it for rooting. This mohair has been used by doll hair artists who make reborn dolls, trolls, Blythe doll wigs, Berenguer doll hair rooting, and other kinds of doll wigs. Use this brunette brown mohair doll hair for all of your doll hair needs. Whenever you need a realistic brunette doll hair, this is it!!

dyed angora wool batts




These are some batts I have been working on. These dyed spinning batts are a blend of angora rabbit fiber and soft wool. The colors are a blend of blues, violets and greens. These colors work very well together to produce a beautiful soft yarn.

Superwash merino wool sock yarn handpainted




I am offering two skeins of a superwash merino wool fingering weight sock yarn. The yarn is 90 percent superwash merino, and ten percent nylon. It is a four ply fingering weight yarn that has been hand-painted to undulating tones of teal, violet, butternut and cream. I call it "Arizona Evening." The yarn is perfect for socks, or any next to skin garment. It has that cool, soft comfort feel that you get with real merino wool. Each skein yields approximately 370 yards.

wool mohair blend batts





I have been making some gorgeous batts on my Pat Green drum carder, using some fine soft wool from a merino cross lamb, and some lovely mohair. I have dyed the wool to shades of violet, moss green and blue--teal, and a cerulean. The mohair is dyed grape. I have been swirling in spritzes of mohair to the wool onto the drum carder and am quite pleased with the results. I call these batts "Mediterranean Summer"
