Fleece Artist was established in 1978, just next door to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design to supply fellow textile artists with natural fibres. Over time our customers demanded better colours than were commercially available so we took to dyeing these ourselves. Today, we are a small family run company dedicated to dyeing breed specific fibres such as Blue Face Leicester, fine Kid Mohair, Merino and other fuzzy beasts. Our dye artists are NSCAD grads with an eye for craft and colour. Our goal is to move beyond colour, to showcase the natural qualities of the yarn and thus enlivening your hand made projects.

À propos de Fleece Artist
La compagnie Fleece Artist fut fondée en 1978, porte à porte avec le Collège d'Art et de Design de Nouvelle Écosse. Ils fournissaient ainsi en fibres naturelles les artistes textiles. Pourtant, avec le temps, leurs clients demandèrent des couleurs plus "expressives" que celles disponibles. C'est ainsi qu'ils se penchèrent au-dessus des chaudrons et devinrent des magiciens de la teinture.
Aujourd'hui, cette petite entreprise familiale s'est enrichie d'une équipe diplômée de l'Université d'Arts de Nouvelles Écosse. Ensemble, ils créent des couleurs inspirantes au service des plus belles fibres naturelles.

Vine est une laine 1 pli de grosseur fingering avec des petites « nubs » en viscose. Le résultat est un fil texturé, brillant, à l’aspect organique. Les « nubs » de couleur crème, cuir et noir résistent à la teinture et contrastent avec la palette de couleurs inspirées par les grands parcs canadiens. Les « nubs » se mêleront à votre tricot donc, il est recommandé de ne pas retirer les plus lâches tant que votre projet n’est pas terminé. Alors, vous pourrez décider celles qui pourraient être retirées. Tout tricot fait à la main se lave préférablement… à la main. Mais Vine peut être lavé en machine sur un cycle délicat. Composition 90 % laine mérinos lavable en machine 10 % viscose Métrage & poids 440m (~ 480 yds) / 125 gr (4,4 oz) Entretien Lavable à la machine. Faire sécher à plat.
