From fibre to finished

Sheffield, United Kingdom

Top shop for gifts.

Buyers bought gifts from this shop and gave them 5-star reviews!

Announcement    I'm flaky at the moment due to bereavement, I'll be back when I'm in a better place.

I'm Woolforbrains on Ravelry and you can visit me on my blog at www.woolforbrains.net and see what I do with the wool that stays home.

I've had a few years away from the shop and from hard core wool appreciation. I'm now attempting to downsize the craft space so intend to stock less fibre and more finished items (they take up less room). I will not be dyeing any more fibre for sale and I plan to spin my way through what I have listed and turn it all into yarn. If there's something here you like then you need to get to it before I do.

While I've been away the powers that be have nuked all my carefully written and photographed process description so that my be a while returning.

    I trained as a chemist and spent my career as an accountant. I was told that I only saw things in black and white but the reality was that there was an infinite range of shades of grey. I left that life behind, now I get to play with all the colours.

Thank you for taking the time to look at the items I am selling. I love to play with wool but there are not enough hours in the day to spin and knit it all. If I sell some it means that I have more opportunities to play with colour without developing a mountainous stash. We don't smoke, have no pets and I'm paranoid about m@ths.

I am a spinner, weaver and knitter and with those I know what I'm doing. Felting is outside my skill set, if you're buying fibre for that purpose you can take it that you know more about it than I do.

Payment

I live in the UK so you if you do too you can pay me by sterling bank transfer or sterling cheques or PO. Other payment methods are Paypal or folding dollars or euros, basically if I can spend it then I'll take it. Depending on what time of year it is I may be accepting Amazon vouchers too - ask me about this one.

Shipping

I am now posting all UK packages by second class mail. If you want the security of recorded delivery or the speed of first class post please ask me to create a custom listing for you with the correct postage cost. I don't set out to make money on the postage, if I can send it cheaper I will and I'll refund you the saving.

The cost of overseas combined postage is a bit of a guessing game because the weight bands are smaller and I don't have standard weight items. If I've overcharged you by more than 50p I will refund it.

Additional policies and FAQs

I'm happy to do custom dyeing and I can dye much bigger lots than 100g so if you were wanting something for a larger project feel free to ask me about it. I should declare that I have issues with red, both dyeing it and photographing it, so if the fibre of your dreams is red then you'd best ask elsewhere.

I'm happy to spin fibre into yarn for you, I'd rather not spin laceweight or three ply sock yarn because it's such a huge time commitment. That's not to say I won't do it but you'd better be sitting down when I tell you how much it will cost you.
