Say hello to spring with a new spinning project. This mystery fibre box is designed to bring joy to your spinning hobby as you craft your way through the warmer months. Each box contains four 100g braids of my hand-dyed British wool Solace blend spinning fibre, dyed in a harmonious palette of four limited edition colours.

Whether you spin on a drop spindle, a spinning wheel, or are just starting out, this box of fibre is perfect for spinning up something special this spring. My Solace blend of British breeds combines Dorset Horn, Cotswold and dark grey Shropshire to create a dreamy, fluffy fibre with both crimp and a tiny bit of lustre. 

If knitting, crochet or other yarn crafts are more your thing, I have hand-dyed yarn boxes available too!

I won’t be sharing photos of the colourways, as the fun is in the surprise, but if you’d like an idea of the mood and general palette, you can take a look at my mood board here.

I like to think of this bundle of spinning fibre as a chance to slow down, embrace the start of a new season, and spin something beautiful to carry you into warmer days.

100% British wool

This wool top is custom blended for me at a small family-run mill in Gloucestershire. The fibres are British breeds wool from farms across the UK, in a range of beautiful sheepy colours.

The fibres I use are completely natural, with no plastic fibers or superwash process involved, so it will biodegrade naturally over time, along with anything you create from it.

Hand-dyed

My hand-dyed spinning fibre is dyed in small batches by me from my studio/home in Wiltshire, UK. While the dyes used are synthetic, for repeatability and colour-fastness, they are always non toxic.

I’m committed to sustainability, so I reuse dye water as many times as possible and make sure no dye run-off enters the water system.

Sustainable packaging

These hand-dyed wool tops are a 100% natural fibre, so all orders are shipped in biodegradable, plastic-free packaging.

Everything contained in a parcel from Marina Skua is recyclable and home-compostable, so what has come from the earth can be harmlessly returned to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Mystery Box?

This is a fibre-only box, so your mystery box will contain four 100g braids of hand-dyed British wool tops in surprise limited edition colourways.

Can I see the colourways included in the Mystery Box before purchasing?

Nope, the fun is in the surprise! You can take a look at the moodboard linked in the description above if you'd likee an idea of the general palette.

Is there enough fibre for a full craft project?

Yes! The mystery box contains four 100g braids of spinning fibre – so 400g total – providing plenty for a decent-sized project once spun. For a lot of people this will be enough for a garment, but it will depend on the design and size you choose.

Are the braids colour-coordinated?

The colourways are designed to complement one another in a harmonious colour palette, so they will work beautifully together if you want to use them in a larger project. There are some lighter and some darker colours, and some pops of colour alongside more neutral shades. And the colours are all dyed on the same base, which gives a cohesive, slightly muted look to the palette. 

Can I purchase more than one box?

Yes, you’re welcome to purchase more than one box should you like more fibre, however, each will have the same colourways, so they won’t differ between boxes.

Will these hand-dyed colourways be available again in the future?

No, these colourways are a limited edition run, exclusive to the Mystery Boxes.

Can I return or exchange my Mystery Box?

Due to the surprise nature of the mystery box, returns or exchanges are not accepted unless an item is defective.

When will the boxes ship out?

These are ready to ship, so will be despatched within three working days of you placing your order.
