History

Established in 2011.

Opulent Fibers was born out of two women’s passion to share superior fiber and COLOR with artists around the globe. In 2010, Kristy Kun (an Oregon based felt-​maker), discovered Italy’s Dyeing House Gallery, a family owned on-​demand dye company located in Italy’s oldest textile district in Prato. Soon, she teamed with DHG’s third-​generation textile expert, Gaia Gualtieri to bring their contemporary palette of luxury fibers to America.

Our goal is to provide the finest dyed fibers and supplies to felters and spinners. Walk-​in customers will find the widest selection of fibers and colors in the entire U.S. Our collection of dyed roving (tops) includes 19 Merino, Tussah Silk, Merino/​Tussah blends, Cashmere, Hemp and Linen. Carded Merino, Needle-​felting blends; pre-​felt and silk fabrics are available as well. As always, customers are welcome to purchase as little as a single ounce per color or may take advantage of bulk discounts starting at just 8 oz.
