Norbouillet Project Gallery
It's that time of year again! Our 2020 batch of Norbouillet fleece is already at the mill, ready to be custom-spun into this year's batch of our locally-sourced, 100% Canadian yarns.
This year as we were setting up pre-orders for our Norbouillet yarns we took some time to look through all the beautiful projects that our customers have made with them over the past few years, and we were inspired to share a few of our favourites here. Thank you so much to everyone who gave us permission to share your photos!
We're taking pre-orders again this year for the two yarns we use the Norbouillet fleece for because it helps us to decide how much of each weight of yarn to spin, since our Elora mini-skein sets are fingering weight and Norwood is DK weight. (It also allows you to order exactly what you want in advance!)
If you'd like to learn a little bit more about where these yarns come from, we shared the story of how we first started working with Norbouillet fleeces in this blog post. If you'd like to learn a more about how the pre-orders work you can find all the details on our FAQs page.

Knitting Comfortably: The Ergonomics of Handknitting
One month ago, I found myself in the emergency room with unbearable back pain. I later learned it was caused by a herniated disc and osteoarthritis (OA) that had taken over my entire lower back. Would I ever be able to dye yarn again, let alone... knit...?
Recipe: Watermelon Slushie
What do you do when you have a glut of watermelon? Freeze it and make watermelon slushie! I started doing this last summer and it's the perfect way to use up a watermelon, especially one that's a bit overripe. Plus, with a touch of lime and mint it really hits the spot on a hot day!
