Posted by: teresasdesk on: May 8, 2009
Finally Fiber! I’ve been working on yarn with bits of Baby Alpaca and Cotton Fiber thrown in for a good mix. But I got in a shipment of BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) and Super Wash Merino. And I’ve been having so much fun with it.
I’ve updated Teresa Levite Studio: Artfire Edition today and will be adding [...]

Yesterday Teresa Levite Studio was featured on the PhatFiber Blog. If you’re not familiar with PhatFiber, here’s a little excerpt from the PhatFiber Blog: “The Phat Fiber Sampler box is a way for independent fiber, yarn and related needlecraft companies and artisans to promote their products through a tactile goodie box that goes on [...]
Who Am I?
Posted by: teresasdesk on: April 14, 2009
I am an indie dyer who has the best hand dyed yarn and fiber ever!
That’s how I introduced myself to someone in an email the other day? Was I coming on a little too strong? Maybe. But my mind keeps going back to Mrs. Wren, my 5th grade Reading teacher, who often reminded us that [...]

Posted by: teresasdesk on: April 8, 2009
Well, this isn’t an official Fiber Arts Friday or Wednesday. It’s just that I got so excited about some of the things I’ve been dyeing lately. I’ve been dyeing some really bold and bright colors. And I love them! What do you think?

Pretty In Pink!
Posted by: teresasdesk on: March 31, 2009
I just added my first cotton fiber to my Etsy Store. 100% Certified Organic Cotton Sliver, Fair Trade & Vegan.
I’m not an experienced cotton spinner. Though this seemed to be spinning rather easily, I asked for a review from an experienced cotton spinner. Here’s what she said: “‘I’ve started spinning the cotton and I have [...]

Shetland/Tussah Love!
Posted by: teresasdesk on: February 28, 2009
I ordered my first raw Shetland wool a few weeks back. As usual, I got busy with other things and it got put on the back burner (well, actually the front porch) for a while. I got it out the other day. Washed some of it. Dyed it. Green. And let it dry. This morning [...]
Name That Yarn!
Posted by: teresasdesk on: February 25, 2009
Last week I dyed some yarn that . . . well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But when it came out of the dye pot and dried, I was a little disappointed. I decided to go ahead and re-skein it and knit up a test sample as is (before redyeing). Here [...]
Baby Alpaca!
Posted by: teresasdesk on: February 23, 2009
I added a little Hand Dyed Baby Alpaca fiber to my store last week. I think I have more to add. I went to a scrapbooking weekend this weekend and I’ve forgotten everything that happened before Friday evening! I almost added the Baby Alpaca again.
It’s some beautiful stuff – sooooooo soft. I can’t stopping touching [...]
