Fundy Fibre Artisans

Fundy Fibre Artisans is a group of four friends who share a love of the fibre arts. We are fibre farmers, and we love to knit, spin, dye, weave, and more!

We sell our fibre and knits at the Cornhill Farmhouse and on Instagram. We're a group of four located in the greater Fundy region, in southern New Brunswick, Canada. We all come from diverse backgrounds and have very different experiences, but are united by a love of handmade and quality fibre products. Our philosophy as a group is that we want to sell unique, handmade, and exceptional products fo

r people who appreciate beautiful and functional items. What we produce is made from local animal and vegetable fibres, as well as specialty fibres (like silk, hemp, and bamboo) that are ethically sourced from farther away.

Cecil says "good morning!"

It's been chilly these last few days, but everybody is wearing their full winter coats, so they've stayed cozy.

Wowza, how's that for a pretty green?!

Megan has been experimenting with new foraged and grown botanical dyes, and believe it or not, this one came from glossy buckthorn berries!

Yes, that's right, glossy buckthorn berries. You may know glossy buckthorn as a TERRIBLY invasive non-native shrub, which it IS. But apparently, the berries will give you this lovely light- and wash-fast green! Seems like a pretty good use for this shrub that's moving aggressively into forests and fields all over, and using the berries for dye means that that many more seeds weren't pooped out by birds to start growing. Win!

If you're curious about this as a dye, have a look at this article: https://spinoffmagazine.com/dyeing-with-buckthorn/

You may not have realized it, but this time of year is when sheep farmers spend a lot of time looking at the not-so-cute end of the sheep! On Heather's farm, they're breeding their sheep for an April lambing this year. Since gestation in sheep is on average 5 months minus a week, that means their breeding season is almost over.

Heather uses a ram marker (fancy term for a kind of harness with paint) and each ram gets a different colour. When you use multiple rams, this allows you to track which ram bred which ewe and each ram's fertility and health (basically, by how much of a given colour you see all over the flock). And if you use the ram markers late in the breeding season, those guys will tell you which ewes are not pregnant or "open".

Heather used new Blue-Faced Leicester ram for the first time this season, so now they have confirmation that he is a good breeder (well, that he's enthusiastic, anyway), and they'll be able to tell which are his offspring for future "keepers".

Just because the Corn Hill Farmhouse is closed until March doesn't mean you can't get your yarn fix!

If you see something you like in our posts, just reach out. We're happy to ship packages or try to meet up if you live locally.

Happy holidays, fibre friends!

Our hope is that you get some much-deserved rest, and that Santa brings you something special (like yarn! And a brand new pattern book!)

We wish you all the best for the rest of this snowy year, and into a brand new 2025.

Look at all that cashmere on the hoof! Megan's goats are at peak fluffiness, and already there are signs that a couple of them are getting ready to start loosening their winter (cashmere) coats. It won't be long now before it's combing time!

Any guesses as to what's happening here?

Aaaaand that's (almost) a wrap! Cashmere combing season is drawing to a close - look at all that luscious cashmere! Stay tuned to see what Megan made with last year's harvest.

It's almost cashmere combing time! Saffron is one of Megan's cashmere goats, and she has the softest little face 😍
