Design Spun is a private label spinner
Design Spun specialises in natural fibres using the worsted process including worsted preparing and spinning, wrap spinning and ring spun yarns. Our process works especially well with wool (ideally from 18 – 36 micron), Alpaca, Mohair and blends of silk, possum, angora as well as a variety of other fibres. We are able to produce both smooth or textured yarn which can be used in anything from upholstery, weaving and hand knitting.
We are both a contract and commission spinner. As a contract spinner we are able to work with your vision for a yarn and help you realise it from fibre selection all the way through the process to finished yarn. If you have your own fibre, we can then work with you as a commission spinner to help create your own yarns. We can aid you with fibre preparation, suitability and advise you on achieving the best yarn possible with your fibre.
Yarns are produced in batches starting from 300 kilos, however if you need a smaller quantity we may be able to assist you with one of our stock yarns or smaller batch lots can be sourced from our Skeinz retail outlet.
We can take your yarn concept and help create your vision from start to finish, from fibre to finished yarn
