Announcement
TwistedWool has been working hard to build and fine tune what we offer. We have participated in local shows and connected with many spinners, knitters and weavers. In the days ahead we will reload our ETSY shop - expect to be dazzled! See you then!
We dye our wool in small batches using acid dyes, heat set for color fastness, spin the wool into single ply yarn. Each batch of wool is unique and cannot be duplicated (we have tried!). Ruth Orvis is an avid knitter and uses size 8-10 1/2 needles. Lynda DeLallo weaves on a floor loom using 6-8 ends per inch. Thanks for looking!

4 out of 5 starsThe ball winder makes tiny center pull balls that end up tangling. As a spinner I am pretty disappointed in it as I can't use it for center pull balls that I spin into a two ply due to the way the fibers tangle. The swift works perfectly.

3 out of 5 starsThe fiber has very short fibers. Don't know what I will do with it yet, perhaps felt it, I don't think it would be easy to spin.
