Custom Yarns

Over the years, the Manitoba Fibre Festival has engaged several local dyers to create a custom yarn for us to sell at the Festival. It’s been a fun way to celebrate local talent. Dyers used the original logo, designed by Gerry Oliver, as colour inspiration, and we really enjoyed seeing the unique interpretations.

“MB Sheep Thrill” yarn by Tammy Ivanco, Manjusha Fibre Arts, 2018

Our first custom yarn, by Hilori Thompson, Hilori’s Magical Yarnorium, 2016

2017 custom yarn by Daria Rakowski, Cloud 9 Fiberworks

“At the Ram’s Head”, self-striping yarn by Allyson Schneider (Dye for Ewe) 2019

Custom yarn is coming back in 2023! This year our dyer is ash alberg, who works exclusively with natural dyes. Ash loves teaching, and we expect the story of this yarn and its colours will be intriguing. Stay tuned for more details!
