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)
