Our values

Yarn for projects you're proud of

Fueled by a belief in the creative power that blossoms when makers connect, The Fibre Co. fosters an open and vibrant global community of yarn shops, designers, and artisans. Your vision comes to life with our natural fibre yarns inspired by breathtaking landscapes around the world. Together, we celebrate the joy of creating with yarn.

Our journey

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.

Where
do
the
ideas
come
from?

Our
inspirations
span
from
the
vibrant
autumn
hues
of
New
England
to
the
serene
beauty
of
England's
Lake
District,
the
wilds
of
Scotland,
the
ancient
silk
trading
routes,
and
the
vast
African
Savanna.

The
Fibre
Co.
began
its
journey
in
the
picturesque
New
England
landscape,
renowned
for
its
stunning
fall
colors.
Today,
we
are
based
in
England’s
Lake
District,
where
our
color
palette
draws
from
the
purples
of
the
heathers,
the
greys
and
blues
of
the
lakes
and
skies,
and
the
diverse
shades
from
our
travels
around
the
world.

A
sense
of
place
deeply
influences
our
work.
We
are
inspired
by
great
design
that
is
both
useful
and
beautiful,
transcending
cultural
boundaries.
We
aim
to
share
our
inspirations
with
you
and
collaborate
on
new
ideas,
no
matter
where
you
are
in
the
world.
