Stash Dive with MFY: The Fibre Co.

0 Comments

Welcome to Stash Dive with MFY where we take a deeper look at the brands we carry and the hearts behind them!


What We Carry

We stock four of The Fibre Co.'s beautiful yarns: Acadia, Amble, Cirro and Road to China Light. We also carry Amble minis. The Fibre Co. yarns are very natural in process and in feel. Let's look at each one individually!

Acadia - 60% Merino wool, 20% baby alpaca, 20% silk

This slightly nobby blend is a DK weight that is warm (hello wool and alpaca!) with a beautiful sheen that comes from the alpaca and silk. The yarn is kettle dyed which gives it that Fibre Co. duotone or heathered look that is so special.

Amble - 70% easy-wash Merino wool, 20% easy-wash alpaca, 10% recycled nylon

Designed with sock making in mind, this fingering weight yarn is soft and durable which makes it a great option for other garments and accessories too! The wool and alpaca add comfort while the recycled nylon provides the strength.

Cirro - 40% Suri alpaca, 40% organic cotton, 20% Merino wool

Designed with sock making in mind, this fingering weight yarn is soft and durable which makes it a great option for other garments and accessories too! The wool and alpaca add comfort while the recycled nylon provides the strength.

Road to China Light - 65% baby alpaca, 15% silk, 10% camel, 10% cashmere

Inspired by the luxury textiles traded along the ancient Silk Road, this sport weight yarn has a soft halo, but boast enough definition that subtle textures are not lost! You'll love this luxurious blend in colors reminiscent of precious stones.

About The Fibre Company

As shared on their website, The Fibre Co.’s story began in 2003 in an old warehouse on the working waterfront of Portland, Maine, USA. From these humble beginnings to today’s global brand now based in the United Kingdom, we work with a variety of producers and artisans to continue creating yarns that delight and inspire the enthusiast maker.

We love that The Fibre Co. continues by describing their goal of creating natural yarns that are stylish without compromising the impact on the landscape. They are also dedicated to sustainability and continuous improvement to reduce/improve their impact on the environment.

Making an Impact

In addition to their dedication to the planet and creating a sustainable product with limited impact on the environment, The Fibre Co. also takes inclusivity very seriously. Per their website:

We are actively seeking to build relationships with designers and makers from all races, sexualities, gender expressions, abilities, ages, and body sizes. We are especially committed to creating a more inclusive environment to support and celebrate the work of  BIPOC who design and make with our yarn.

We also appreciate that The Fibre Co. expects everyone they work with to follow their Code of Conduct. There are many ways to make an impact including holding people accountable to a high standard of conduct. 

Click over to the The Fibre Company's website to learn more, and join us on Mondays from 6-8pm for Impact Mondays where we get together at the shop to craft for whatever cause we choose to support!
