Jubilee Fibres: The stock arrives

A Bit About us.

Jubilee Fibres is a celebration of fibre, with wool being our main component and many other fibres too, for good measure. Aboard our narrow boat we produce one of a kind fibres & yarns for crafters to use for spinning, wet & dry felting, embellishing, knitting, crochet, weaving and other crafts too. We dye the fibres and yarns ourselves. In addition we have a range of handmade items, including some made from upcycled material. We will be offering a small range of drops spindles and kits.

Where possible we use natural dye stuffs harvested from the towpath and wool from British suppliers.

Jubilee Fibres, was established early 2020, is a micro business aboard narrow boat Burnt Oak. We live aboard our 60’ long & 6’10” wide boat quite comfortably, along with all our crafts. We continuously cruise the inland waterways of England & Wales and will announce where we will be moored to welcome customers.

The easiest way to pinpoint our trading locations is with ‘What3words’. We will publish our ‘what3words’ when we moor up. Using this method we can pin point our exact location so you are able to find us.

Today we received our first 10kg of stock, with half yarn and half fibre. During the next few months we’ll have fun dying it. In addition I can’t wait to spin up some of the lovely black Sheltand and grey Suffolk tops. It’ll be a challenge saving the fibre to sell, to tell you the truth!!!

All we have to do now is sit tight at our winter mooring in Rufford, West Lancashire and watch the spring come and go and the summer emerge. The good thing is we have endless water on tap for our dying.

Our first trading session is still planned to be at the Rufford visitor mooring, but a few months later than planned. Once the all clear siren is sounded, we’ll let you know when we’re off too.
