Founded in 2020, Shades of Ewe Fibreworks makes hand-dyed, wool based fibre arts supplies for crafters and fibre artists to use in their spinning, felting and rug hooking. Using both commercial fibres and hand-selected fleeces, Shades of Ewe produces hand-painted wool braids and various types of art batts, as well as featuring Nova Scotian, and Canadian wools.<\/p>\n
My extensive knowledge of dyeing, spinning techniques and breed specific wools helps create unique colourways and unusual fibre blends that are exciting for people to create with. I also offer private spinning lessons and a variety of spinning classes throughout the year, at several local knitting and fibre shops.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2010 I began dyeing wool fabric for rug hooking and loved that I could produce the exact colours that I needed. In 2014, while searching for textured art yarn for a rug, I discovered a woman spinning her own yarn in a local yarn shop. She kindly gave me a quick lesson, and I found myself fascinated: the variety of yarns she could make was amazing, and the act of spinning itself was so meditative! Not long after that I learned how to spin yarn in colours and textures that I love, and I applied the dyeing knowledge I already had to dyeing my own fibre for spinning.<\/p>\n
With my love of researching what interests me, I focused on educating my self on spinning & dyeing techniques, all the different types of wool fibre, and honing my dyeing skills. Over time, these hobbies became a passion, and I found myself being asked to help friends learn to spin and to dye wool for others. The combination of being a life-long crafter, having a variety of hobbies become a passion and my background in science and adult education all combined to become Shades of Ewe Fibreworks.<\/p>\n
While I am mostly a self-taught spinner, my education in biological sciences has resulted in me gobbling up every bit of spinning knowledge I can get my hands on. Over time, the experiences I\u2019ve gained with spinning and dyeing has interwoven with my background to become the basis for Shades of Ewe Fibreworks.<\/p>\n
