Our Swizzlestix Yarns
We have created our Swizzlestix Yarns to replicate the effects that Hand-spinners achieve with Hand-painted roving. Each ply in our yarn is hand painted , then plied together to create that one of a kind look. In keeping with the Spinderella Philosophy, each skein is a work of art & no 2 are the same. You will always have a finished piece that is uniquely your own!

Our Falkland Yarn
Falkland wool is not from a breed of sheep, but the region where the wool is produced.
The sheep have a background of Corriedale, Merino and Polworth.
The wool is extremely white. Since there are no known sheep diseases on the Island,
the sheep require no dipping or vaccines. The sheared wool is shipped to the Italian Alps
where it is given a “spa bath” using the snow melt.
Very soft– having a micron count of about 21-25 and the most eco-friendly wool we know of.
Our Corriedale Yarn
Corriedale Sheep were developed in New Zealand and
Australia in the mid 1800’s by crossing Merino rams and Lincoln ewes. Credit is given to
James Little for establishing the breed while managing the “Corriedale Estate” on the isle of
New Zealand. The fleece has a good crimp which produces greater elasticity.
The fiber has a 21-26 micron count.
Corriedale has become the 2nd largest significant breed in the world—after Merino.
Our Corriedale has a micron count of about 23.
Our Blue Face Leicester Yarn
Bluefaced Leicester sheep evolved near Hexham in Northumberland, UK , at the beginning
of the 1900’s. Rams have a proud, stately carriage and the ewes exhibit a feminine look.
The wool is tightly purled, fine and semi-lusterous. The Bluefaced Leicester is a Longwool
breed with a lock length of 3- 6”. The fiber has a 24-28 microns count and creates high quality
luster yarns with beautiful drape. Each sheep produces 3-6 pounds of fleece per year.
