I’ve saved something special for our final yarn feature – a brand new dyer I’m so excited to introduce you to! Hand-dyed in Stratford, Ontario, this dyer/birder celebrates the beauty of nature through bird-inspired colourways that bring fibre to life.

Meet Songbird Yarn & Fibres, the creative flight of Katie, a passionate dyer and bird-lover based in Stratford, Ontario.

Available in store and ONLINE now!

Katie translates the plumage of birds into yarn, creating Love Birds duos that feel like a love story in skeins, as well as full sock base skeins perfect for larger projects or accessories. Each label even shares information about the bird that inspired the colourway, turning every project into a little field guide. And with every skein sold, she donates $2 to Birds Canada to help protect species at risk.

Sock Base
A single skein, perfect for socks and larger projects.

• Fibre: 80% SW Merino, 20% Nylon

• Weight: Fingering | 115g / 390m–425yds

Love Birds Set
Two coordinating skeins inspired by male and female bird plumage.

• Fibre: 80% SW Merino, 20% Nylon

• Weight: Fingering | 2 x 50g / 375m

To show the yarn in flight, we have a gorgeous store sample (thank you, Sarah!)  the Musselburgh Hat by Ysolda Teague, knit in the Love Birds sock base in the colourway Indigo Bunting. It’s the perfect combination of beautiful stitches and storytelling in yarn.

Featured Yarn Sale: Friday, September 26 – Sunday, September 28

It’s the perfect chance to snag the yarns we’ve been spotlighting in our Feature Yarn series (and yes, they’re just as gorgeous in person).  We want to make sweater-quantities of indie yarns just a little more affordable this fall, so when you buy multiple skeins of yarn in the same base, you’ll save!
