Bamboogie Natural – 1-Lb Value Pack
80% Rayon from Bamboo / 20% Superwash Merino wool. Fingering weight, 4-ply.
Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 431m (472yd).
Gauge: 2-3.25mm needles. 6 to 8 stitches = 1 inch, or as pattern requires.
Laundering: Handwash cool, hang or dry flat.
The same base yarn we use for our Bamboogie™ line. Absolutely fantastic lustre and a beautiful soft hand are the main features of this yarn. It shows stitch definition very well. Nice for warmer weather wear.
This yarn is somewhat tricky to dye, because of the two very different fibres. Fibre reactive dyes will work great, but we use acid dyes ourselves. Because the acid dyes only strike on the wool, the final effect is pastel and subtly heathered. When using acid dyes be prepared to do copious amounts of rinsing to get rid of excess dye that lurks but doesn't strike on the bamboo!

BFL – Superwash White (Top)
BFL = Blue-faced Leicester. Classification: LONGWOOL
It's difficult to find any Superwash top other than Merino, but here you have BFL! Perfect for knitting items that require easy laundering. Wool is conditioned through an enzyme process that strips off the outer scales, which prevents felting. This also makes for a different effect during the dyeing process, because Superwash fibre sucks up the dye quickly. This fibre is creamy-white in colour with plenty of lustre.
BFL rates high for softness. Depending on spinning method, this breed can create a soft and smooth fabric with excellent drape. Micron count is generally in the mid-20s with a staple length from 3 to 6 inches.
NOTE: Superwash fibre is NOT GOOD FOR FELTING.

BFL – White (Top)
BFL = Blue-faced Leicester. Classification: LONGWOOL
Creamy-white natural combed top, lustrous and soft! Excellent for dyeing at any stage of the spinning process.
BFL rates high for softness. Felting properties are average. Depending on spinning method, this breed can create a soft and smooth fabric with excellent drape. Micron count is generally in the mid-20s with a staple length from 3 to 6 inches.
NOTE: our labels may indicate this as UNTREATED, which simply means it is not Superwash BFL.

Black Oak Bark, Ground
Ground inner bark of Quercus velutina, sometimes known as Quercitron.
Use on protein or cellulose fibres. A well-respected source of strong yellows. Pre-mordanting recommended. Alum/c.o.t. mordant gives excellent results. Use at 10-20% WOF for medium shades.
TO USE: simmer in water at 160-175°F for 1 hour. Cool overnight and strain. Add more water if necessary and enter pre-mordanted fibre. Hold at a 160-175°F for one hour. The brightest yellows develop at these cool temperatures.
Light and washfastness: excellent with a mordant.
Black Walnut Hulls, Crushed
Coarsely ground dried hulls of Juglans nigra.
Use on protein or cellulose fibres. Yields rich browns and tans. A substantive dye but pre-mordanting recommended for improved lightfast and colourfast qualities. Use at 25-50% WOF for medium shades.
TO USE: soak 24 hours or longer to rehydrate. Simmer at 185-200°F for 1.5 hrs. Cool and strain. Enter fibre and simmer and simmer at 185-200°F for 1 to 1.5 hrs.
Light and washfastness: good to excellent.
NOTE: WEAR GLOVES!! Clean pots and utensils well, this dye tends to stain everything it touches.
Bonsai Sprayer
NEW! Perfect for watering your bonsai, but also a great tool for wet or Nuno felting!
Squeeze the rubber bulb to suck up your water or water/soap solution, then squeeze it over your project to deliver an even amount of water. Helps avoid applying too much water and making a big, mucky mess all over your work surface. We haven't tried this (neither of us felt) but some felters have told us they are much in demand and a great tool. The rubber bulb comes in a variety of colours. We will ship the colours randomly.
Brazilwood, Extract
Sawdust or extract from a tropical tree, Caesalpinia punctata. This species is from southeast Asia and is not the endangered species native to Brazil but still produces good, rich colours. It is also called Sappanwood or Eastern Brazilwood.
Use on protein or cellulose fibres. Best with a premordant. A classic dye that gives rich crimson, purple or pink, depending on the mordant. Brazilwood is very generous and, although expensive, a dyebath can yield up to 7 or 8 successive dips. Have plenty of fibre prepared, soaked and ready! Light and washfastness is rated as average.
SAWDUST: Use at 20-100% WOF for medium to strong shades. Soak in water and/or rubbing alcohol for a few hours. Spread on a tray to air overnight. Add to water and simmer 1 hour. Cool and strain. Observe dyebath colour. If it leans towards scarlet-orange, stir in a teaspoon of Soda Ash to push the pH higher and change the dyebath to more of a purple-red. Add small amounts of Soda Ash until this happens. Enter premordanted fibre to dye liquor and simmer 1 hour.
EXTRACT: Approximately 6 times stronger than sawdust or chips. Use at 20-50% WOF for medium to strong shades. Dissolve in hot tap water and add to dyepot. Adjust pH with Soda Ash as outlined above. Enter premordanted fibre to dye liquor and simmer 1 hour.
