Here's what our customers have to say about our products

 "As for what I ordered - all I can say is, "OH, WOW!!"  Both the Carbon and the Steel (superwash merino lambswool laps)  are Much More Gorgeous than I expected and are going to be an Absolute Joy to spin!  The only problem I'm having is - do I want to spin them on a spindle and enjoy them as long as I can, or do I want to get them on the wheel so I can spin more quickly and place another order sooner?  What a dilemma!!  LOL  :o)  One thing is for sure - I Will be ordering from you again!  :o) "  James
 
"Got the merino/silk laps. Beautiful! I don't even have a drum carder, but it's so nice, it's been a pleasure carding it by hand. "  Marianne
 
" spent most of yesterday afternoon spinning the basil silk/wool laps that I purchased from you over the winter.  What a dream to spin!  I am making the loveliest singles yet in my short spinning career!  My fiance kept petting the fiber and was impressed with the bobbin of yarn that I created from it.  I'm hoping to finish up my chores early this evening so that I may get the second bobbin full done tonight and maybe even ply it.  I just wanted you to know how much I love your product, and I will gladly purchase from you again the next time I "need" (ok, want!) more fiber.  Thanks so much,"  Beverly
 
"All I can say is "Wow"  That is the softest wool I have ever come across!  This is the wool for people who swear they are allergic to wool! (I have someone in mind.) I love the organic merino!  Thank you, Thankyou!"  Sondra
 
"I'd just like to chime in with postive feedback here.  Every gm of product/service I've recieved from Leah  has been FABULOUS!!!!NAYY....just a happy shopper who will continue to purchase....online.....from Yarn or a Tale. (Alas...I'm too far away to shop any other way! lol)"  April
 
" can't resist chiming in here to say that the superwash laps I got from Leah are the softest and fluffiest superwash I have ever seen.  Granted I haven't had a lot of fiber xperience, but the fiber I have is so soft and fluffy that I never would have guessed it was superwash.  I know some people shy away from superwash, but I love the idea of it (I have four kids and whatever I knit for them has to be washable.   Nayy, of course.  Just a happy customer."  Catharine
 
"Just wanted to let you know that the "Heritage Pansies" roving arrived earlier this week. The color is sooooo lovely! Right now I'm working on the Basil silk & merino laps I bought from you earlier. Such lovely stuff to spin. I finished plying the pound of kid mohair & merino, and last night I dyed it a deep old rose color. As you already know, that combination of fibers took the dye beautifully and the finished yarn has a jewel-like sheen. In short, I have been so very happy with everything I have purchased from you. And, yes, when I finally get something actually *made* from all this wonderfulness I'll email you pictures.  Thanks, again,"  "Cyn"
"The stunning  (hand-dyed) roving arrived this afternoon & I will have an empty bobbin tomorrow morning, then I can start spinning it up. It is nicer than the pictures! Thanks,"  "K"
 
"I just thought I'd let you know I had spun up the colorful sock fiber you had dyed for me - beautiful pair of socks and lots of yarn left over...  I'm currently spinning the more tame colorway for my husband.  I have loved spinning it, and I'm trying to finish as I can't wait to see how the second color turns out in socks!  Thanks so much!" "Lucy"
 
"What do I think? I think I'm in heaven! I also think I need to come up with some excuses to call into work so I can stay home and play!  I'm very very very pleased with my package. Thanks so much! ~ April

"I received the laps yesterday - I cannot believe how beautiful they are!!!  Thank you so much for the carded sample!  I forgot they were coming and it was a nice surprise to come home to!  I'm glad I bought 2 lbs instead of one.  More is definitely better!  Thank you again, I appreciate it very much!" ~ Gayle

"It came today!!!!  WOW!!!  I am sooooo happy.  That fiber is soft and lustruous.  I can't wait to spin it.  Those Mohair locks are heavenly.  This is the best fiber I have purchased in a very long time. I am soooo happy, you can bet I will be shopping again~~!!!'" ~ Josette

Oh.My.God. This stuff is so gorgeous, it's all I can do to get finished sending you this email so I can get in there and strip the bobbins I have and get going on this.  After I get some spun I will take pictures and post a link on the spindlers board, so that you can get the kudos you deserve.  Thanks so much!  "Julie"

"Hey everyone, I just got the order that I placed with Leah a little while ago - and I just wanted to say thank you so much!  The kid mohair/merino samples that you sent me are so gorgeous - I will definitely be placing an order for some in the near future.  The Hazelnut Superwash merino is sooooooo soft!  I have worked with a lot of merino, but usually in roving form - this is more of a cloud, and it's OMG absolutely and totally gorgeous! I can see myself plying it with some silk and spinning a very fine laceweight - Can't wait to get started on it!  I also ordered some of the silk/merino laps, just plain white - I do a lot of dyeing, and can't wait to get to this batch either.... All the fiber is truly scrummy and lovely - and just to dye for (g).  NAYY - just wanted to give a shout out to a lovely vendor! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Abi"

"I got the Basil, Carbon and Hazelnut laps in the mail as well as the colorful fun extras and I am overwhelmed at their quality! It is my birthday and well, after opening up this lovely package, I feel like-it's my birthday! Thank you very much for quick shipping and a scrumptious product."  "Maria"

"I am so very happy with the laps I received from you last week.  I have been sitting and spinning my little heart out.  I am enjoying myself so much that I had to place another order.  I absolutely love the mohair/wool laps.  They are so amazingly soft and luxurious.  I can't wait to get to the hazelnut and even more, I can't wait to receive my next order.  You can be sure I will be ordering much more from you.  Its great to see a vendor who supplies exactly what they promise.  Thank you." ~ Janet

Just wanted to let you know that the laps were waiting on the porch when I got home yesterday. They are so yummy, I'm not sure if I should spin them or put cream and sugar on them. (NO,I'll spin them!) Thanks, again, for some amazing fiber to work with.
~ Cyn

"The package arrived!  Your laps and locks are absolutely gorgeous!  These are the best I have ever had the pleasure to receive - can't wait to spin!  Thank you so much!"  Barb

"Yeah it made it and it is beautiful beyond words, I really, really love it, thanks for the great dye job. Thinking of which fiber I might kick off a spindle, Thanks again for a really great job,"  MaryAnn

"If you're talking about Leah's laps; you won't regret it! Unless you didn't buy enough ;) Beautiful stuff. Glorious color."  DebJ

"I recieved the laps a few days ago...beautiful stuff! I've already carded up 1lb with 1lb of angora....I can't wait to see how it spins up. You might mention on your site that it cards with a drumcarder just wonderfully....if I was not blending it, I would have only put it through 1 pass....it needed no more.  Thanks,"  Ridgeley

"It came today!!!!  WOW!!!  I am sooooo happy.  That fiber is soft and lustruous.  I can't wait to spin it."  Josette
