Hand-dyed, hand-spun yarn is all the rage now and I for one give this trend a HUGE two thumbs up as I have many of these spun works of fiber fetish in my stash to prove it! Now, let it be said that these wonderful warm and fuzzy works of art usually weigh-in at minimum, worsted, to maximum, bulky. So what’s thread head like myself to do when she wants that hand-dyed look in a teensy, weensy weight fiber for her next doily or crocheted eyeball?

She takes a trip across the world wide web over to Artfabrik, that’s what! Proprietor Laura Wasilowski gifts to the world her wonderful hand-dyed threads in 58 COLORWAYS available in sizes 3 - 12. Then when your finished shopping for thread, make sure to peruse her hand-dyed fabrics and quilting patterns as well. A-mazing stuff!
