Hand Dyed, Handspun Textured Art Yarns and Art Scarves
This scarf started as Luxurious super soft white 16 micron merino wool. It is the best quality I can find on the market and is sourced through another female owned small business. I hand dye the wool in small batches, after the wool dries I handspin the fibers into an art yarn which you can really appreciate in the funky fringe. Lastly the yarns are handwoven with my rigid heddle loom.
I want these scarves to be affordable, which is why I’m conflicted on the price I need to ask in order to compensate for the materials. Thus I feel it necessary to be transparent: This scarf is made from >200g of super soft 16 micron merino which costs me $0.22/grams ($44 cost in materials). It took me approximately 15 hours to make the scarf.

Samantha Rose
Fiber Artist
Hello, my name is Samantha (she/her), a local Kootenay fiber artist who’s been graced with the pleasure of residing in Kaslo and now New Denver in beautiful BC Canada. Thank you for visiting my online shop.
My love for tying knots started as a self care practice during the Covid lockdowns of 2020 and evolved as I experiment with different fibers. Currently my passion is hand dyeing fibers and spinning them into beautiful textured art yarns. These art yarns can be used in tapestry weaving, macraweave, macrame, hand weaving, knitting crochet and embroidery.
I love playing with different colour mixtures to see what combinations I can create. I also draw inspiration from the magnificent forests, mountains, lakes and rivers in this stunning place I'm grateful to call home, you’ll see many of these magnificent color ways in my selection of yarns.
I'm pleased to share my love for fiber art. I hope you enjoy adding texture, dimension and colours to your sacred spaces and projects as much as I do.
Look for me in person at markets and artisan fairs in the West Kootenays; you can also find my on Etsy at https://knottielove.etsy.com and of course here at this website.
Thank you, I’m grateful you stopped by.
