Fibers

Unfortunately, I don't know of any sites that allow you to pick one at a time but please email me your snail mail address and a description of what you are looking for. I am headed to Expo this week and may be able to help you out.

You might try a needlepoint shop. They have small amounts of wonderful fibers. They are probably larger amounts than the fibers by the yard but there is a very large selection.

Would you believe I have just packages 58 baggies of fibre that will at some point make it into the scrapbox....obviously not all at one time! And no........I didn't put ALL of my fibers in there I still have a bunch I kept for myself! S

I have not used fibers yet because I don't know if there is certain kinds you should use or what. Is there any I should avoid? Will any be harmful? You guys are helping me tremendously.

I'm not looking for any particular fiber, I just like to browse and pick out ones that I find pretty. I have lots of fibers that came in sets purchased in stores and on ebay that I will probably never use. Fibers by the yard was great until I bought all the ones that I liked. ;o(

I'm guilty of shopping that way too. But usually when I buy it's by the skein so I have waaaay more than I need. I've RAK'd people with it, I've used a little of it and I've hoarded a lot of it! lol Now I'm donating some of it to the scrap box. S

I've been RAKed fiber a few times... which I greatly appreciated! For me it's great, because I wouldn't buy a whole skein of yarn. I'd be wondering what the heck would I do with all that yarn. That might be a good idea for a swap. Have say 10 people buy a different skein of yarn. Make 10 baggies of "so many" yards of said yarn and then swap. Any body game?

Sounds like fun Lynn. I have boxes and boxes of yarn that I would be willing to share.

Lynne, A fiber swap is a great idea. I know there have been a couple of them done in the past. Good Luck! S

If someone would sit and show me HOW to incorporate or use some sort of fibers on a LO, i would use it, especially since I have "acquired" a bit of it too!

As for a swap with it, I would be interested as I have bought some too (FLASS syndrome activated!) and don't know how to use it - WAH!!!

OKC Dave

You know I don't know how I missed them. Sounds like something I'd like to do.

Dave,

I've mostly used it on tags. It really sets them off having some festival fiber folded through the hole. I did an ABC album for a friend, which I need to get back and photograph... anyhow I did a few tags with Poohism on them and the fiber looked so precious in the baby album. I imagine one could use them as you would paper and put lines of it on LO's or border a picture or some journalling. We should challenge ourselves to find ways to use more fiber.

I've wrapped them around pictures in frames on a couple of my lo's. I also use them on tags.
