WAXWING YARN COMPANY
Pickup available at Needles in the Hay
Usually ready in 24 hours
Érable is a worsted-weight, 2-ply, woollen-spun yarn made from 100% Canadian wool. Soft, lofty, and warmly structured with a balanced twist, it’s ideal for cozy accessories, heirloom-quality garments, and richly textured knitwear.
Minimally processed and non-superwash, Érable keeps the fibre’s natural warmth and integrity—without harsh chemical treatments. The wool is sourced from Western Canada, then spun, dyed, and finished in Québec, supporting a fully Canadian supply chain from fleece to skein.
Available in 50 g and 200 g skeins, Érable makes mindful project planning easy—so you can buy closer to what you need and keep your stash intentional.

Care & Notes

Traceability
Érable is a proudly Canadian yarn: the wool is sourced through a regional Western Canada fibre pool, then spun at Filature Lemieux.
