Welcome!
We will be vending at the Woodstock Fleece Festival, Saturday October 19. Please see below about ordering in advance, and a link to the show website. Deadline for Woodstock orders is Wednesday, October 16 by the end of the day!
Our next Spin-In is on Sunday, October 27. See below for details.
We have our October WORKSHOPS listed on the shopping cart and November/December coming shortly. There is a NEW two-day felted Vest workshop November 2 & 3
and Beginner Tapestry Weaving on November 9. The 3-day Coat Workshop is now sold out but we will be offering a second one later in the year.
Our OCTOBER fibre SALE feature is
Ashford Merino/Silk Roving/Top at 25% OFF!
Ashford recently added five new colourways: Avocado, Berries, Citrus, Flamingo and Skyscape, which you will find in the cart. That brings the line now to 15 dyed colourways and natural Vanilla. Click the link above or look in the cart under Fibres>Dyed Roving & Top>Merino/Silk
(Both IN-STORE and ONLINE)
These MERINO/SILK blends are extremely popular with spinners and felters alike. For years we thought the silk component was Tussah silk but it turns out all this time it was actually Mulberry/Cultivated Silk, which explains the beautiful lustre.
Take a look at our remaining KOLLAGE KNITTING NEEDLES, now on clearance at 25% OFF.
The Kollage Needle company went out of business, though apparently another company has purchased the equipment and will be starting production soon. 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.
October 1/19 — 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. Honestly, the wheels have been flying out of here but we currently have the Double Treadles in stock and plenty of accessories. 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.
Our fall workshops are in full swing. If the schedule does not work for you, consider booking a PRIVATE WORKSHOP 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.
The WOODSTOCK FLEECE FESTIVAL is just around the corner, on Saturday, October 19. If you wish to order in advance, by all means do so on our shopping cart. Please include a note with your order that you want it brought to Woodstock, and select “store pickup” as the shipping option. Deadline for Woodstock orders is Wednesday, October 16 by the end of the day!
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.
Our FALL & WINTER 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, October 27 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.
THE FIBRE GARDEN is owned and operated by Alan McLean and John Valleau and it lives right on Main Street in historic Jordan Village, Ontario, Canada. We are in the heart of Niagara Wine Country and there are plenty of things to see and do in the village and surroundings.
The shop carries a very wide selection of natural breed-specific rovings, dyed rovings and top, weaving and knitting yarns (many dyed right here by THE DYEGUY), felting supplies, dyes, natural dyes & mordants, spinning wheels, drop spindles, and other fibre gadgets. We are thrilled to be Dealers for Majacraft, Louet and Ashford spinning wheels, looms and other products.

Please note: if you are using GPS to get here, our address might well pop up as Lincoln or as Jordan Station. The Village of Jordan is where we are. We’re about half way down the street between Cave Spring Winery and The Jordan House Pub, across the street from the museum.
