Loca-Yarn

One of my new years resolutions for my business is to find more local sources of yarn & fiber.  I've been dyeing up a few skeins of Custom Woolen Mills yarn.  I've probably mentioned them before, but they are a historic spinning mill a couple of hours away from me.  They use their historic spinning machinery to process all kinds of Alberta and Canadian grown fleece. 
Here's a recent dye:


Also did this sock yarn from Briggs & Little, Canada's Oldest Woolen Mill a bit further away in New Brunswick:



More yarn & accessories to be listed in the shop this weekend!
