Mirkwood Hand-Dyed Hemp Sliver (Not All Who Wander Are Lost collection)
Hand-dyed fiber braid from the Not All Who Wander Are Lost collection, Mirkwood is dyed on hemp fiber. One of the more famous bast fibers, hemp is growing in popularity again in recent years after spending some decades in the shadows. Hemp is a strong, hard-wearing fiber processed from a fast-growing and hardy plant, and its growing presence in the fiber arts world is well deserved! Note: This sliver came to me with a large amount of non-fiber vegetable matter (sticks and similar items) in it, most of which I removed in the course of further processing, but you may discover an occasional undesirable bit when spinning. Be warned!
Spanning hundreds of miles and without roads or paths, Mirkwood is a forest the likes of which modern city-dwellers here in our not-Middle Earth have difficulty imagining - even before the giant spiders and cranky elves are factored in! So far as the colorway is concerned, the darkness of the forest is represented with an array of dark and grayish greens, trending brownward in spots. Photos are taken in natural light with as much color fidelity as possible, but please remember that screens vary, so from one device to another it may appear slightly different.
All my fibers are dyed in a smoke free, pet friendly home.
If you are interested in a larger quantity or would like to purchase Mirkwood on a different fiber base, please reach out to me! I’d be thrilled to dye up a batch to order.
