Independently dyed yarn and spinning fibre inspired by Georgian Bay.

Experience the beauty of the bay in every stitch.

[Carla Pletzer @gbfibreco]

can you feel it? can you smell it?

close your eyes, step into the forest, surrounded by pine, balsam, and spruce trees.

the earth is cold and damp, there is a morning chill.

take a deep breath.

I really enjoy finding inspiration in the less common places. Where do you find inspiration that is less common?

Today is the last day for the 20% off discount on Waubuno Gale.

Nothing reminds me of November like this song by Gordon Lightfoot. Give it a listen and settle into this November weather being happy you are safe at home, not on a ferocious bay.

Yes that's right. I grey water dye which means I use my dye water multiple times, usually only having one dye bath for each of my two burners every day. So much less water and energy for heating! I'll explain more on my podcast this weekend!

Did you realize you need to set those dyes before you started?
