Fiberygoodness

Featured Artist: Kyle Bowser of Palomino Farm

Editor’s Notes: It’s been a nice vacation…After compiling over a hundred featured artist posts at spinartiste.com, I took five months off! And, just like any break, you end up assessing how to resume and move forward. What finally came to the surface was I missed doing this posts. So, we’ve decided to weave one in about once a month and, most exciting of all, we will be featuring an artist from within our Fibery Goodness community. If you participate in

Fibery Goodies! Free Project to Spin and Wear!

A little while ago we brought you the ebook on how to approach and spin Multi-Media fibers such as those found in the wonderful Namaste Farm ‘ScrapBoxes’ or collections of various different fibers from your stash. This week I would like to offer you an extra treat that sprung from that original offering, and this is free for a limited time! When we were working on the Multi Media book projects we (the contributors) were challenged to share our own

A Surprise for Suzy!…and A Free Gift for You!!

Arlene here…I really can be a prankster sometimes. But before I prank Suzy, I want to talk about our beautiful new coloring book Suzy published last night and I wanted to do a quick post to talk about it. The coloring book, “Fibery Book of Coloring” is actually our second coloring book featuring Suzy’s beautiful drawings. Our first one, “The Golden Fleece Coloring Book”, came out over two years ago when we launched the Journey to the Golden Fleece the first

Big and Bulky!

So here I am in a New Zealand summer, feeling the heat and enjoying the sunshine, very much aware of the vast climate difference others are experiencing in the northern hemisphere right now! Just a week or so ago I saw images of people ice skating in the streets of northern Holland, bringing back some very fond memories of playing in the snow and ice during the winters I was there. One of my big pleasures at the time was

Sparking Joy!

Hi Everyone, Now that we are just a wee bit into the New Year, we are hearing about all kinds of diets, cleanses and detoxes. And, I confess, after the partying I did over the holidays, I have been whipping up my fair share of green smoothies too.

St. Distaff’s Day

As the year is quickly approaching its end, we all reflect upon what the New Year has in store for us. One of the first things I eagerly look forward to is St. Distaff’s day(also known as Rock Day), a holiday for all of us spinners! This special day during Medieval times was the first day after the twelve days of Christmas, the 7th day of January. This marked the time when women would return to work, resuming their household

Stash Busting!

Dear Fiber Friends, This is the time of year when I start to feel a rebellion against excess! I’m sure it’s a reaction to the holidays and anticipating being cooped up during the winter months. In past years, I’ve been myself through all types of self-designed programs to reduce some of my hoards.

We love this!

We would like to share a blogpost with you from Natalie Redding this week. The reason being, Natalie is teaching her ‘Redding Method’ dye classes with us as the Master Dyers Certification program here at Fiberygoodness. And even though we are now all the way through to the third level of certification classes, we are still extremely excited by the way these classes are going and the way Natalie is teaching them. This excitement just grows because we KNOW, Natalie

Trends for Spring 2016

With the release of the recent Pantone Color report and the publication of the September issue of Vogue magazine, we get a peek into some fresh ideas for colors and shapes for Spring 2016. With winter right around the corner, not being a great fan of the cold and snow, I am happy to dream of spring.

The Journey to the Golden Fleece Exhibit at the Bellefonte Art Museum — The Pics!!!

As many of you know, selected finished pieces from those of us who have gone on the Journey to the Golden Fleece have been on display at the Bellefont Art Museum in Bellefonte, PA. With our trusty photographer, Sara Norine James, riding shotgun, we headed up for the opening reception a couple of weeks ago. Was it amazing? Oh, yes…truly amazing to see the pieces hung in the gallery. Sara took shot beautiful images for us. So without further ado,
