✍️ My personal favourite part of a trip: planning! I love contacting folks, making an itinerary, and scheduling appointments lol
Can you guess what kind of fibre the first farm has? I gave y’all a hint and I’d love to hear your guesses 🤔

I took a road trip 🚗 and visited farms at my local fibreshed! So excited to finally show you all my video project at last.

Thank you to @camila-sze.bsky.social for creating the logo I’m using in my videos!

I started with local flax prepared by Randy of the Pembina Fibreshed and spun it into linen. Most of the spinning was done during public demonstrations with the Fibreshed showing the process from dried #flax plants to finished #linen. #Fibreshed #pembinafibreshed

On behalf of the Pembina Fibre Shed, I have spun some local flax - grown and hand-processed in Manitoba- to demonstrate the process at public events. Now I'm ready to knit some. #FibreShed

I took my just-off-the-needles sweater out for a walk on the trails today. Since it's made from wool grown by Vancouver Island sheep, and hand dyed on Vancouver Island, it felt right at home. :) #shoplocal #fibreshed #handknit #handmade #slowfashion #naturewalk
