IF you can’t live without a color, shoot me an email (jane (at) ewephoricfibers (dot) com) and I’ll set one aside for you.

Award-Winning Fibers!

Jane's Ewephoric Fiber entry in the swatch division took Best In Show.

That’s right! I entered Ewephoric Fibers in the Skein Competition at the Garden State Wool and Fiber Festival and it received Best In Show. Yes, we have some of that exact same fiber left. You can purchase it online (here) or you can visit the Hanks booth at the Florida Fiber In this weekend in Orlando and pick it up there. So exciting!

…and we are online!

Fiber Basket

Do you get excited about unique fiber blends? Do you love to learn new techniques? Do you prefer a spinning experience with fibers that have been dyed and blended in smaller batches so that they retain their natural loveliness and qualities unique to the featured breeds?

I know we do! That’s why we are delighted to have a website where we can share our fibers with everyone — not just the folks who meet us at fiber shows.

So poke around and see what’s new. And be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the ways you can follow us. Why? Because we should have our shopping cart on line RSN (that’s Real Soon Now) and we are pretty sure you’ll want to be around for the launch of that.
