About Me

 

I am a professional and very passionate handspinner, wooldyer, soapmaker of EUcertified natural soaps, and I live in Southwest Germany. For my yarns and fibres I mainly work with natural pure wool, silk and vegetable fibres, and I use non toxic dyes and mordants for my designs to protect our environment.

Any comments and inquiries about my handspun yarns and fibres are most welcome!

 I am also offering a yarn spinning and wool dyeing service for individual requests -  just contact me for details if you have anything particular in mind. Please remember that a spinning wheel and a dye pot cannot be rushed. As an estimate, it takes about 4 weeks to finish 500g (1.1lb) of handspun DK (double knit) yarn and approximately 5-7 days to dye, wash and dry 100- 700g of wool roving.

  The result will be a wonderfully spun yarn or handpainted roving just for you!

Yours, Heike
