FIBRE is an independent Canadian bookazine, available in French and English, dedicated to fibre arts, to talents of many origins and to narratives imbued with stories strung together with pieces of life. It is the meeting point for passionate people who shape textile fibres with care and thoroughness, with a desire to pass on knowledge that is both essential and creative.
Each issue celebrates tradition and inspires evolution, with content that not only showcases know-how and the people behind it but also tells the story, informs, entertains, educates, raises awareness, and sometimes even convinces
