About Us
Individual, hand dyed quality yarns. My preference is using New Zealand yarn.
Who am I?
Hi. I’m Gillian. I’m a good friend of Rhonda’s. The amazing Rhonda set up this Indie Wool dying business five years ago. I have had the priviledge of being her apprentice for the last few months, whilst she moves into a new stage of travelling and retirement.
I am so excited to be taking the reins and continuing with Rhonda’s beautiful hand dyed wool journey. It has been lovely meeting some of you at the recent markets and I look forward to helping you with your creative projects.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for being part of the journey.
Why dye yarn and fibre?
I also love colour and breaking the rules creatively. I find it to be a great creative outlet.
I’m passionate about the environment and aim to ensure Roxy Fibres is as sustainable and kind to the environment as possible. While I use both natural and acid based dyes, my techniques ensure no amount of dye is wasted and none of it goes down the drain.
My fibres and yarn bases are sourced from reputable mills in Aotearoa, where their product is sourced domestically. Yarn is only imported when not available here. I am an open book. Feel free to ask me where my yarn bases and fibres come from.
Why is this business called Roxy Fibres and why the dog on the logo?
Roxy was Rhonda’s beloved Rottweiler. The logo for Roxy Fibres is from a lino cut she made in her image.
