Fleece Artist Celebrates Canada’s 150th birthday with the National Parks Collection

As you probably already know, this summer is Canada’s 150th birthday and there are all kinds of fun projects and initiatives cropping up in communities across Canada. The fibre arts community is no exception! Our friends at Fleece Artist in Nova Scotia have created 13 new colourways in Merino Slim inspired by Canada’s National Parks, one for each province and territory. We’ve got 4 skeins of each colourway and we are in LOVE with this new collection. Come in and see for yourself!
