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.

Socks

I love knitting socks. My feet have to be comfortable and warm all the time.
I custom knit them for my family and friends. My niece Colette now shares in the fun. Good sock yarn has to be comfortable, durable, has to control moisture and, most importantly, be a pleasure to knit.
We use our superwash, lyocell, cashmere bison blend. Yummy....

Felted Shawls

My good friends Louise and Elaine use our bison fibre to create the coolest shawls.
These are woven and felted or felted on silk. These are classics. You can wear them with anything anytime anywhere.

Shawls

I love doing lace shawls and scarves. I make my own patterns but also do traditional ones. I love the Barbara Walker collections and recently have done some by Ann Hanson.
Here are a few pictures of some of my projects.

Bison

In all the yarns we have ever touched here, at Fibre-Isle, there has always been one which was king amongst kings:

Bison.

Its feel is unmatched; it’s extremely comfortable having no lanolin, which is present in sheep’s wool, so it doesn’t itch, and since it doesn’t have any lanolin, forget about buying moth balls. They won’t be eating this stuff. It is very durable, so you can wear it to your hearts content, and it won’t pill, either; and it’s the warmest of all fibers. Bison, in the winter, sleep with their nose in the wind, especially during snow storms. This should be sufficient to say that they aren’t cold during blizzards. It needs no dying, having a very nice chocolate brown colour already. Our 100% Bison fiber will be sure to make any knitting a dream come true, no matter what you want to do. But make sure to order enough to finish your projects on the first go, because all bison aren’t made equally. We wouldn’t want you to have a two-shaded scarf, now would we?

Sweaters

We are working on a line of sweaters made from our new Pearl line of yarn.
Pearl is a blend of fine merino, seacell, cashmere and bison.
Pearl will be introduced in four custom colors with new ones
available as we discover them.
We have knitters testing Pearl as we post.
More news in a few weeks.
