I recently discovered Hedgehog Fibres, and oh boy it’s a dream come true for me. Beata and her team seriously make the most beautiful and bright colors I have seen.
My only wish would be for more thick yarns. Most the fibers she posts are skinny singles and sock weight. Although she does occasionally have some DK weight yarns available, they just aren’t as many color-ways in this weight.
However, the colors of the skinny singles are just too good for me to pass up, so my plan is to double-up (or quadruple) my threads when weaving with it. But just imagine the rya knots you could make with these thin threads <
If you’re interested in buying some of her yarn, it sells out quickly once she posts it, so the best thing to do is get on her mailing list and you’ll be notified when she is posting new yarns. She also puts updates on her Instagram.
Do you like to weave with bold colors or do you prefer a more neutral pallet?
You can view other items that are on my wishlist here:
- My favorite warp thread
- Patons Wool Roving
- Tapestry Needles from Have Company
- Hand Dyed & Hand Spun Yarn from Serene Fiber Arts

November 17, 2015 at 4:17 pmI love snazzy colors! Do you find that yellows are the hardest to find? I mean yellow with pizzazz, not just kinda yellow. Your web site is fabulous and just what I need (I have been weaving a whole 2-3 weeks now, completed 7 wall hangings so far!) Thanks for all the great info. 🙂

November 17, 2015 at 5:03 pmHi Steve! Yes I do agree, yellow must be a tricky color, it usually gets muddy. Wow 7 wall hangings in 2-3 weeks, that is impressive! Keep up the good work 🙂

November 20, 2015 at 3:58 pmHi Renata! Yes I have two different finishing posts https://www.theweavingloom.com/how-to-finish-a-weave/ and https://www.theweavingloom.com/weaving-techniques-a-new-way-to-hang-your-weave/. I hope these help, but feel free to ask me if you have a specific question that they don’t cover 🙂
