Man-made fibres add-ons have been added as options to this box.
Due to the elimination of the Vendor market at Fibre Week, we have decided to include manmade fibre add-ons for you. The purpose of our indispensible boxes is to make it easier to find the fibres you need. But now that the Vendor market is gone, it makes it harder for you to find them.
The level five bundle does not include raw fibres since we feel that finding local producers close to you is part of the learning objectives for this class. In the past we also chose not to include synthetic or manmade fibres since although they are important learning fibres, they are not consistent with our mandate to not carry synthetics or manmade fibres. As a temporary measure we have decided to add options for you to purchase bundles of these fibres. This box and the add-ons are priced at a 15% discount compared to if you bought each item individually which means you have more money to spend the way you want. Shipping is included in the price. Any shipping you may be charged during checkout will be refunded.
Note: If you order more than one option, eg. main bundle plus one or two add-ons or two add-ons, I will be returning shipping to you. There are too many combinations of these that it would be very confusing for you!
