About Me

I am a professional and very passionate handspinner, fibre artist, soapmaker of EU-certified natural plant soaps of the finest quality, and currently living in the beautiful Odenwald region, which is a vast forest area, in Germany. For my yarns and fibre arts 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. My entire range of rovings, fleeces, locks and other raw materials that are for sale on my website, in my ebayUK store and in my Etsy store are exactly the ones I use myself for my yarn and fibre designs. So if you have any further questions about e.g. whether a particular fibre or yarn will be suitable for your project, please feel free to contact me right away.

One of my favourite fibres to work with is the British Bluefaced Leicester wool. A lot of my OOAK (=one of a kind) yarn designs are made from this gorgeously soft and very special fibre, and I also hand dye entire BFL fleeces and the locks/curls for handspinners, doll makers and felters.

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 something 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
