With the aim to support small wool producers, Mota was developed as a collaboration with several ranching families, each contributing the finest wool their flocks had to offer in order to produce this very special yarn.

Mota is a collection made entirely in the heart of Castile-La Mancha, and is named to honor the town of Mota del Cuervo, where WoolDreamers has it's roots. Thanks to the proximity of the farms to the mill, Mota is produced with one of the smallest carbon footprints on the market.

Spun from carefully selected fleeces from each ranch, Mota shows that even the smallest ranches can produce valuable wools. The resulting yarn is a soft and lofty 3-ply DK that will give each project a special connection to the origins of their materials. Offered in a wide variety of colors and shades, Mota lets your imagination run free!

Gently wind the required number of strands of Plötulopi together or knit straight from the plates.

A single strand of Plötulopi is very delicate. It can be strengthened by twisting it lightly or by knitting it with one strand of Einband or any lace weight yarn. Plötulopi is great for felting, hand spinning and many other things.

Bourette silk is cruelty free! Silk yarn is made with the silk threads that come from silk worm cocoons. An intact silk worm cocoon is made of one single very long thread. In conventional silk production the cocoons are boiled, leaving the silk worms to die. Bourette silk, on the other hand, is made from the silk threads of naturally vacated cocoons – ones from which the silk worms have completed their natural metamorphosis into moths. During this incredible process, the cocoon breaks apart leaving the silk thread in pieces. These short silk fibers are painstakingly collected and spun into yarn. Creating bourette silk is a very time consuming process resulting in a more rustic, but no less luxurious strand of yarn.

Sea Change Fibers was born by a desire to dye tonal colors on non-superwash bases, primarily from climate responsible producers. The business was founded by Sarah Pederson in 2016 in Portland OR, moving to the Monterey Bay Area for 7 years and is now back in its birthplace of Portland. Sea Change Fibers is a name that reflects both the company's location on the west coast and its commitment to helping the health of the earth as it changes.

Sea Change Fibers' yarn bases are carefully researched and sourced from sustainable fiber producers. Since most of these bases come from small producers, the availability can change over time, bringing in new bases to fill in gaps. All yarn bases to date have  been non-superwash wools – often blended with silk, cashmere or plant fibers – that create soft and durable garments. In keeping with the company's commitment to a healthy environment, the vast majority of these bases are created from climate beneficial wool that is fully traceable from the pasture to the mill.

Vibrant colors are a signature of Sea Change Fibers, inspired by the colors of nature, especially those found in and around the Pacific Ocean and the coastal forests. Sarah loves dyeing and knitting with complex jewel tones as well as tonal neutrals. While they do cycle in new colors frequently, colors are rarely retired unless the dye becomes unavailable. After all, there can never be too many colors!

The dyeing process at Sea Change Fibers involves careful and sustainable use of both water and power with reuse of water for similar colors from light to dark throughout the day, each dye pot dedicated to specific color families. This uses acid dyes in a climate responsible manner, including having solar energy to fuel the dye pots. Part of every purchase from Sea Change Fibers goes to supporting positive change in the world.
