Hi, my name is Wendy Bloy and I live in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.  I began dyeing both wool and cotton a number of years ago but it didn't take long for me to find that I loved dyeing wool yarn and roving for my knitting and spinning.

My love for dyeing soon developed into a small, home-based online business.  I spin for my own pleasure as I have found local mills who will supply me with natural spun yarn and combed fleece for dyeing.  My dye lots are intentionally small - no more than 6 x 100g hanks at a time but often only 2-3.  I love the idea that you will knit, crochet or weave an item that uses one of a kind yarn so I very rarely dye duplicates.  I use commercial acid dyes endeavouring to be as environmentally careful as I can when disposing of the leftover water after each dyeing session.  With our usual dry conditions I also ensure that my water is used carefully to limit wastage.  My home is both smoke and pet hair free.

I hope you enjoy the results of my dyeing days as much as I do.
