Hand Dyed Appreciation: Hand Maiden & Fleece Artist with inspo galore

More Wet Felting & Needle Felting workshops

Hand Maiden

Hand Maiden is Canadian dyed, and much loved at Baaad Rabbits, we have stocked their yarns since we opened on various bases. Hand Maiden was started on the West Coast in 2005, they quickly outgrew and returned to Nova Scotia to join their sister brand Fleece Artist. 'Born of complete and utter fibre addiction and a desire to share Swiss Mountain Silks and other exquisite fibres with the (yarn) community'

We currently have four of their bases, and these are all now online too!

Flyss, our newest addition, the most stunning 65% silk/ 35% linen fingering weight yarn, 100g/ 400m.

Angel Hair, 70% Kid mohair, 30% nylon, 50g/ 400m. Great for those of you who prefer not to use silk, and as it's a silk free mohair it's a great price of $22.

Merino Slim, 100% merino wool, fingering weight yarn 113g/ 400m.

and *the* most divine Maiden Hair, 67% Swiss Mountain Silk/ 23% Kid Mohair/ 10% nylon. DK/ Worsted weight yarn, 100g/ 300m.

Felting Workshops

We have the lovely Mel joining us on July 5th for a Needle Felting workshop!

Mel is a natural ambassador for felting, touting portability as one of its greatest assets, as well as the fact that it’s suitable for broad ranges of age and ability. She takes her felting with her wherever she goes and finds it an easy conversation starter and way to connect with people. The workshop is suitable for ages 8+ and is a great way to have some fun!

We also have scheduled another Wet Felting workshop which is proving popular this Summer! Have some fun, make some fabric with a beautiful batt in this 2 hour workshop.
