Operation Figment is a project we founded to create hand-dyed fibers for crafters searching for the colors and patterns that can only come from a crafter's imagination. We know that finding these products at an affordable price can be difficult and that high prices are a deterrent for those looking to explore their creativity. We strive to keep our prices lower by creating small batches of each product. Once it is sold out, that product is gone, with no promises of when it will return.

Figment is one of our miniature horses and my golden child, who can do nothing wrong. Not to be confused with the golden one he lives with, who is a dyrri (little monster). We got Figment as a payment for tune-up training on different mini (who ended up getting bought by our friend and staying). When he came to us, he was scared of people. It took a long time to gain his trust, but now, though still a little nervous sometimes, he is one of the sweetest and most puppy-like horses we have. There were three main reasons that he was renamed Figment. First, his original name did not have any cutesy nicknames, and he didn't know it, so it was easy to change. Second, he was named after Figment the Imagination Dragon because I am obsessed with dragons and will take any opportunity to name my pets after them. And finally, we did not want to tell my dad that we got another mini, so when he finally came to the barn and asked about him, we could honestly say, "Oh, him? That's not another mini, that is just a Figment of your imagination."

That sentiment is the exact feeling we got when we came home with more art supplies and would just claim "nothing" when asked what was in the bag. So when we decided to start this business, we wanted to give our customers the ability to tell the nay-sayers that don't want you to get any more yarn and fabric that "I didn't, that is just a figment of your imagination". Thus, Operation Figment was born with Figy as our mascot.
