My Creativity Resolution

I will suspend the rules in order to explore
I will explore in order to play
I will play in order to create pieces that express myself
to venture beyond what I have been taught
to open doors I did not know were there
to immerse myself in color and form
to cross over, to prod, to swerve, to jump
where white is not white
where black is not black
where even gray is purple

What is Palette Wool?

My wools are a new concept in the rugger's world because they are all kinship wools, created as a complete color family from my three exclusive dyes (McIntosh Million 101, Goodfellow Yellow 105, and Alexander Blue 109). It will mean that there will be available for sale a full artist's palette in wool, with all the tints, shades, and neutrals too.  So there is no more need to worry about whether or not a particular wool will work in a project.  Each works beautifully with the others.

Premium Materials

I spare no expense when I create my wools.  All of my hand-dyed wools are made from 100% Dorr milled white wool and textures, and W. Cushings' Perfection Acid dyes

Variety of Packs for Sale

I offer several different variety packs to meet your artistic needs.   Each pack contains a full 1/4 yard (prewashed) dyed and stripped into eight pieces.  Strips measure 3" by 16".  Single Value Packs contain one fat quarter instead of eight strips.  When my wool arrives at your home, it is ready to be cut and hooked into your project.  Slight mottling and varigations in color are part of the beauty of my hand dyed wools. 

All sales are final

Why? Because your order is a custom order.  I dye your wool for you as you order it, so please allow up to two weeks for delivery.

All packs are $15 each
