Hi Everyone,

I have just recently rented a studio space for my loom and am getting back into weaving.

Recently I have taken a liking to working with Indigo and am looking for indigo yarns in the 20/1(40/2) to 30/1 range.

I have searched the shops listed on this site and google adnausium, but cannot find anyone who supplies indigo yarns to the little guys! I would appreciate any advice.

Would also love to know if anyone knows a place to get amsler slub yarns in the same counts above; indigo or not.

Just buy white yarn and dye it yourself.  Indigo is lots of fun to dye with and you no longer need to ferment it as you can buy it already prepared for dying.  Jacquard even sells a kit with everything you need in one box!  It's now on sale for less than $10.00 (see: http://www.dickblick.com/products/jacqua...
