Sweet Fiber Yarns is a Canadian indie company specializing in luxury hand dyed yarns.

h i s t o r y

We originally began as Yarn Candy, Sweet Fiber back in 2009 (transitioning into Sweet Fiber Yarns in the beginning of 2011).Working mostly during the summer months, Melissa began hand dyeing yarn in between earning her undergraduate degree at the Emily Carr University of Art & Design. She began selling her yarns at 88 Stitches and on etsy (yarncandybymelissa) which quickly led to fibre shows, a presence in several mortar shops across the country and a full time online shop.

Colour is our second nature. We strive to create incredible colours that are both intriguing to knit and completely wearable. Oh, and coloured greys are our specialty.

Cashmere, silk, merino.. We love luxury fibers! And as a proud Canadian company we do our best to source our yarns locally.

Each batch is done with great care and attention to detail. All yarns have been washed, soaked, rinsed and individually inspected before going to market.

Though Sweet Fiber Yarns is mainly a one person operation, there are many helpers and supporters who make this company possible.

After graduation (spring 2012) Melissa plans to invest further into Sweet Fiber Yarns & Designs, operating full time all year long. In the mean time, she’ll keep dyeing and designing in between homework and paintings. Her personal/design blog can be found here.
