ABOUT MARIE-PIERRE

Marie-Pierre fell in love with the art of spinning in 2019. Being from Bolivia, it was natural to turn to alpaca to learn how to work with the fibers. Over time, she expanded her knowledge to include sheep fibers. Today, she is involved in every stage of the fiber's transformation, from cleaning, carding and dyeing to the production of the finished product: an artistic batt for spinning, and unique artistic yarn for crocheting, knitting and weaving. Most of the fibers she uses comes from local Canadian farms.
