Yarn : Roving : Fun Extras : Custom Dying
Welcome to Sandy's Palette, LLC. This is a business I run from my home -
a place where I lovingly craft hand-dyed yarns and roving. If you don't
see a color combination you want on these pages, contact me for a quote
on custom dyeing. It's not as expensive as you might think.
I will continue to add product and company information to this site on
an "as time allows" basis so if you don't find what you're looking
for please check back. Those of you who know me personally know that I
teach spinning, knitting and dyeing, work part-time at several small businesses, in addition to building this little business I call
Sandy's Palette, LLC.
If you require immediate attention please contact me
or give me a call at 608/987-1346. If you call, just leave a message.
I'll get back to you as quickly as possible
I got into this business because I love color, wool and people (not necessarily
in that order!). I realized that there were many wools and yarns I wanted
to dye, and not nearly enough time in a lifetime to knit, crochet, spin, felt or weave
it all myself.
I have put together this site with the help of LJ Host and will continue
to improve my site with time. If you have any feedback you would like
to give me on the site or have any questions please contact me.
Yarn
I'm
offering hand-painted yarns in a variety of colors and weights. Each batch is
original and there are usually four to six skeins (1 pound to 1.5
pounds) in each batch. Often I can reproduce more of a colorway, but
just like the big commercial dyers, no two dye lots are identical.
Because I dye with a number of colors together, each skein is its
own work of art!
Currently, I'm dyeing yarns from Brown Sheep Company, Briggs & Little Woolen
Mills Ltd and Henry's Attic. I also have a complete line of yarns that will be only offered wholesale.
Look for it in a yarn shop near you – I’m offering it
wholesale to a growing number of shops, If you own a shop and are
interested in carrying my yarn, please contact me
or call at 608/987-1346.
If you have a favorite yarn or color combination, let me know. I will
be happy to custom dye any protein or plant-based yarn. Contact me so we can discuss the details.
Roving
For
your spinning pleasure, I offer a wide variety of roving and top including merino blends, Corriedale, Blue Faced Leicester and Baby Camel Down, plus Optim stretched merino. I call it Near
“Mere because it feels like cashmere. I also offer a new treat: Fleece Dyed Roving. Multiple colors of fleece, dyed and blended together with Angelina and/or silk noil.
All spin beautifully,
and come in a variety of fun colors. These rovings may be spun and
blended in a number of ways. Each put-up is approximately 4 ounces except for Optim (approximately 2 ounce putups). Sandy’s Palette, LLC rovings
are a beautiful treat you can afford.
Fun Extras
Every so often, I will run across something wonderful. It might be
hand crafted tatting shuttles from friend Liz's 92 year old dad, Frank,
who wins prizes at the Oklahoma State Fair for his tatting. It might
be a tool or a pattern or a finished knitted item. It might be fused glass beads, buttons or pins.
Almost anything could end up here, so come back often to visit.
