We’ve got new pins, just in time for pride!! 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦🧶

Friday the 13th during pride month?? Lets celebrate our favourite spooky day during our favourite month. Today only, enjoy 13% off yarn and accessories. No discount code required 🦇🌈 🧶🇨🇦

Granny squares are one of our favourite summer projects. They are lightweight, portable and you can turn them into almost anything! Want to learn? We have 2 upcoming classes, or if you already have the basics down, we have a couple new books to inspire you! 🧶🇨🇦

All decked out for pride! Come say hi! 🌈🇨🇦🧶

WOOOO HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!! 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

What could brighten a cold, rainy day better than a box of beautiful spring coloured yarn from Ancient Arts! This soft and squishy fingering weight yarn is a blend of superwash merino and nettle, which is a natural substitution for nylon. 🧶 🇨🇦

Fibre arts is not just a winter thing! There is nothing more relaxing than sitting outdoors on a warm day, listening to the birds sing and kids play while stitching up your favourite accessory. Join one of upcoming beginner knit or crochet classes and spend your summer enjoying a new outdoor hobby!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, but especially to my mom, who is an unending source of support, care, and love. I am so lucky to be her daughter, and I would not be who or where I am without her 💜

Beautiful!

Happy May! Your favourite @songbirdfibres.bsky.social birds are now available in a 75/25 SW Merino/Nylon DK weight yarn, perfect for your warm weather projects! Visit us online or in store to see the new colourways. We also have a small selection in the bulky weight available. 🧶🇨🇦

We are SO excited to introduce a new like from our favourite local queer dyer Matchbox Yarn: Combed Top! This 19.5 micron untreated merino wool is unbelievably soft!! Dyed in both gradients and variegated, it is perfect for spinning, felting, or making some stunning thrums.

Today is the 1st anniversary of adopting Zuko! This goofy lil wiggle butt has brightened my life immeasurably, bringing more love, joy, silliness, and somehow both order and chaos, than I ever could have imagined. He’s the most perfect little bean,& I will forever be grateful he found his way to us💜

Hey Canadian yarn dyers! We are looking to replace the very popular Trailhead Yarns, who closed up their dye business last year. Is there anyone else dying cottons or cotton blends in Canada? 🇨🇦 🧶

The amazingly talented Disyarning Designs is closing their pattern shop. It has been a joy to collaborate with them over the past five years, and we will miss them. In the meantime, this is your last chance to pick up a kit or pattern. Grab yours before March 7! 🧶 🇨🇦

Whatever you buy from us, it will be coming from another small Canadian business, and we want you to get to know them. 🇨🇦 🧶 First up! @songbirdfibres.bsky.social loves mixing their two passions; birds and yarn! Each bird inspired colourway includes some fun facts about the specific bird featured.

Snow day!! With the store closed, Zuko and I are all set with big blankets, an audiobook, and a crochet WIP. How are you spending the day? 🧶🐾📚
