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.

Have you ever knit one of Nidhi Kansal's patterns? We've been fans of her work for a few years, especially her eye-catching and elegant shawl designs, so we were thrilled when she agreed to create a new pattern with our Messa di Voce yarn!

We first met Catherine Knutsson, our collaborator on the Beyond Merino yarn club, when she organized the Great Canadian Wool-Along last summer as a way to celebrate crafting with local materials and supporting Canadian wool farmers. We loved the concept of the wool-along, and jumped at the chance to connect with a community of Canadian wool-lovers.
