Yep, I'm bring back spinning fibers. Would be a shame not to (given the abundance of wool in the UK).
Feels so good to be back with fiber ! :)

From my scraps!
I'm thrilled each time a buyer sends in pictures of things they crafted from Yarnahoy scraps.
Below are images of work from one such talented artist.
Christine Alvarado is a supremely talented art doll maker. Her work is evocative & poetic. The Tallulah doll's dress was made from one of the fabric scraps she purchased from me. Check out her blog & her Etsy shop. The doll images below are property of Christine Alvarado.

Teaser pictures of the fabric stash that I’ve collected over the past 1 year in India.
Gorgeous brocades, weaves, trims, silks, embroidered & embellished fabrics. Woohoo! I roamed far & wide to collect these.
I’m still in India on assignement. Will return to Cambridge (UK) in mid March 2009. Till then, I shall be taking more pictures of stuff & noting prices alongside.
Some of the rectangular fabrics can be pre-ordered (if my supplier has any left) in case you want more that the 1 or 2 yards I have of each kind. Likely to be sold for between $7.50 and $14.50 for 1 meter (1.1 yard) depending on the weave.
The ‘scraps’, however are irregular shaped remnants which are all that I have & hence absolute one-of-a-kind. These cannot be found or purchased anywhere else! These are stunning pieces of embellished heaven & guaranteed to delight the crafter, scrap booker & quilter. Almost none of my scraps are plain fabric. They’re either embroidered or bejeweled.
Likely to be sold for $6.50 for 10 scraps.
Please let me know of any special/wholesale requests BEFORE the 27th of February 2009. All the items will be going online for sale after the 20th of March 2009 (once I get home). All items will be shipped from the UK. Shipping from India is fairly expensive unless you're buying several yards at once.
Let your quilter friends know :)

Above: irregular sized scraps (woven, brocade, embroidered, embellished). Each scrap is one-of-a-kind. These are great for using as trim in several small projects or a single large project such as a quilt.
