Welcome!
Our next Spin-In is on Sunday, August 25. See below for details.
We have our September and October WORKSHOPS listed now on the shopping cart. The two-day felted Vest workshop is among them!
Our AUGUST fibre SALE feature is
Ashford ALPACA/MERINO Roving/Top at 25% OFF!
Choose from seven dyed colourways or natural white. Click the link above or look in the cart under Fibres>Dyed Roving & Top>Alpaca/Merino
(Both IN-STORE and ONLINE)
These beautifully-prepared blends of Merino and Alpaca fibre are terrific for both spinning and felting. With wet felting, they will give a bit of a fuzzy finished effect because of the Alpaca content, as it “blooms” during the process, and the same goes for spun yarns.
Take a look at our remaining KOLLAGE KNITTING NEEDLES, now on clearance at 25% OFF.
The Kollage Needle company is no longer in business. These are in the cart under the Gadgets, Tools & More category, or click the link above.
WHAT’S NEW at The FIBRE GARDEN?
WE MOVED in 2017: Our new address and new local phone number are listed down below.
August 6/19 -EXCITING NEWS!!
We are now Dealers for LENDRUM SPINNING WHEELS, made right here in Canada!! These are live on our shopping cart now, just click the link or head to the Spinning category and you will find them.
Our first order just arrived , and we have a wheel setup over the weekend for a test run at the store. There are also plenty of bobbins, drive bands and other common spares/repairs to get us setup with the basics, and we certainly can order any parts or repairs you may need. If you’re after a repair or accessory we don’t yet have listed please e-mail or call us with order inquiries, contact info is listed below.
Although we are taking a summer break from regular workshops, we will book private felting workshops at any time throughout the year. These are suitable for 4 to 6 people, depending on the project. Feel free to drop us an e-mail or call the shop if you would like to know more. Contact info is down below.
We are well stocked on NATURAL DYES and MORDANTS in time for the summer dyeing season. These are listed in the cart under the DYES category.
Shopping carts for sites like ours are not especially intuitive or flexible. Though we have many items set as FREE SHIPPING, the cart seems to sometimes only allow Store Pickup as the shipping option. WE WILL SHIP THESE ITEMS if you wish! Just leave us a note when you place your order, to confirm you wish to have them shipped. This applies to many things like Ashford Tools & Equipment, Majacraft, Louet and others.
Combination orders for tools & equipment over $100 plus fibre or other non-free shipping products will be charged shipping for the non-free portion of the order. That’s because we are often shipping the equipment directly from our supplier and other items from here at our store.
Louet has announced some major changes to how they provide spinning and weaving equipment. We now have to order these products directly from Holland, so wait times will likely be 6 to 8 weeks for looms, spinning wheels, bobbins, etc. that we might not regularly stock at the store. We will let you know regarding wait times, just drop us an e-mail if you have any questions.
Our SPRING & SUMMER HOURS are the same as usual, listed below. If you’re looking for our store, our new sign is not up yet but the brightly-painted spinning wheels beside the front sidewalk should help you to find us!

Our next SPIN-IN DAY will be Sunday, August 25 during regular store hours, drop-in style. Spin-Ins are free, just bring your wheel or drop spindle. We have plenty of fibre or bring your own. Spin-Ins are social occasions and we will provide coffee, tea and cookies. Share your interest in spinning with others, and maybe pick up some tips and tricks at the same time! We have plenty of room for drop-ins.

Did you know we accept E-transfers for order payment for all Canadian regions? To do this (instead of using PayPal) just select the “check/money order” payment option during checkout, then send the E-transfer to info@fibregarden.ca and then send us an e-mail as well with the answer to the security question you have selected. This option is great for those that don’t use credit cards but do online banking. Unfortunately E-tranfers cannot be sent from outside of Canada.
