The Fibre Co.: Our Story

[vc_column el_class=”Head paragraph”]It’s sometimes hard to convey just how much our love of natural fibres has informed our process at The Fibre Co. Despite over a decade of creating unique blends rich with texture and interesting structure, it is not always easy to pin down the exact quality we love best about a particular yarn. We choose fibres for many reasons from their softness and loft to their natural colour that enhances the colours specifically developed for The Fibre Co. range.

That’s why there is always so much joy in joining up with bloggers, podcasters and fellow makers who want to explore our story in more depth. Over the past year, Daphne (the founder and owner of The Fibre Co.) has shared her story of milling, hand blending and learning from producers all over the world. We would love to share some of those with you here to keep you company while making today.
