Kami Bison Yarns

Kami Bison is starting to be my favourite yarn.
Of course, I always loved lace and cobweb yarns.
The blend is wonderful to knit and feels very nice.
The fun of making it has been creating all these new colors.
I hand blend the different fiber colors before spinning and see what
new color comes out.
The blending results in live colors reflecting the mix of the various shades I used.
There is no end to the combinations and shades available.
I have been spinning 2 or 3 Kg lots until I can decide which colors I like best.
So far I like them all so maybe I'll just keep creating new colors...
But for now, here are some of the latest colors.

New Projects for Fibre-Isle

A few things to highlight today. We received our first samples of our Lovit Bison yarn that were hand painted by artisans Louise Lortie and Elaine Schuller at FibreEnsemble. We will soon be posting hand painted color ways of our yarns. Here are the first two color samples of our latest blend. We call it Kami Bison, which is a blend of 60% bamboo, 30% fine merino and 10% premium Canadian Bison. We are still developing new colors and we will post them soon. This fine yarn is available in a single ply at 800m/50 grms, 2 ply at 400m/50grm and 60om/50grms. It will also be available hand painted. More information soon.

Product Photo Shoot

Here are some of our finished projects that Sylvie has knit. All of these were made with our yarn. I'd like to thank Patricia and Blondine for doing such an amazing job taking the pictures! Most of these are Sylvie's patterns.

We'll start with the wrist warmers and the socks.




These scarves are actually made using just the felt. Made by our good friends Louise and Elaine. Thanks! ~Alex (The Son)






And here we start with the beautiful shawls and scarves. They're just gorgeous! ~Alex (The Son)



Oh, and this one is just.... breathtaking. I've never seen anything like this. ~Alex (The Son)





I don't know if you can see there are actually some beads at the ends of the scarf. It's really neat. ~Alex (The Son)

Pearl

This is a general purpose yarn that I am sure you will enjoy. We wanted to have a yarn that would be perfect for knitting fine dress sweaters. This is a very nice blend of fine merino, seacell, cashmere and bison. The yarn is soft, strong and warm with a fuzzy shine. We now have it in 4 lovely colors. Dijon is a deep mustard gold color, Red Sand is a light rust reminiscent of the sand color on PEI , Creamberry is red berries with cream and Teetree is the green of one of my favourite medicinal herbs. We hope to be able to offer more colors soon. This is a lovely yarn for any project. Our friend Edith just completed the first men's sweater. It is gorgeous.

Snow Babies

Snow babies is a fingering weight yarn we came up with for a friend who wanted a white yarn to knit baby shawls, booties and hats for newborns. It had to be soft, warm and all natural.
The 50/50 blend of bamboo and 18 micron merino turned out to be just perfect. A 50gm skein has 225 meters of 2 ply yarn which is lots for mitts, booties and hat or a small shawl. It knits up very nicely and feels wonderful. It can be dyed but the bamboo will not take dye as well as the merino. The end color will be lighter then the dye used. This is a very nice yarn for many projects. I will try to get more pictures to post .

Bonjour

Fibre-Isle International est une petite manufacture de fibres située à l’Île du Prince-Édouard.

Nous fabriquons des fils à tricoter haute gamme en utilisant le duvet du bison canadien. Pour nous, l’amour de tricoter est primordial. Fibre-Isle se doit alors de fournir des fils qui dépassent les attentes et les exigences de nos clients.

Le duvet de bison est une fibre très fine, très chaude et très durable. Le bison offre une douceur et un confort incomparable. Cette fibre est aussi hypoallergène et sans lanoline permettant de s’en servir sans crainte d’irritations ou autres inconforts à la peau.

Nous avons aussi conçus et fabriquons de nouveaux fils à partir de diverses combinaisons de fibres. Ceux-ci se doivent de se conformer aux propriétés naturelles nécessaires à un fil doux, durable et pratique à la hauteur du bison.

Nous utilisons la laine mérino très fine de Nouvelle Zélande, le bambou de Shanghai, le seacell à base d’algues, le lyocell à base d’épinette et le cachemire des Indes.

Nos fils sont excellents pour le tricot de dentelle, foulards et châles, les poignets sans doigts, les bas, chapeaux et gants, ou autres projets. Vos créations sont assurées d’être apprécier longtemps par tous et chacun avec les fils Fibre-Isle.

Nous sommes désolés de ne pas avoir un site Internet en français et nous souhaitons régler cette situation dans un avenir rapproché.

Nous avons cependant certains de nos patrons disponibles en français.

Merci

Patterns

I enjoy making patterns for my lace projects. A few of them are even completed...
After knitting them up, I always see things I could change...Ooh,this or that would be nice...I just have to stop knitting and write them up.
