ISLAND FIBERS

HANDSPUN, HAND DYED YARN, WEAVINGS, KNITTING

Island Fibers is the collaboration of Debbie Hayward and Maxine Bronstein. Proponents of the Slow Fiber Movement, we craft each stage of our textile production by hand, from sorting and washing the newly-shorn fleece through spinning and dyeing the yarn to the final designing, knitting, and weaving of rugs, blankets, garments, and whimsical accessories.

Our work features Lopez Island wool, but we also work in many other fibers, from alpaca to yak, including silk, mohair, hemp, bamboo, and bison, to create textiles that give comfort and pleasure for many generations. Custom orders welcome. Studio visitors welcome by appointment.
