Spinning Yarns Speaker Series: Christine Laframboise, Waxwing Yarn

Meet the founder of a new Canadian wool yarn brand on a mission to reduce yarn waste and build an inclusive crafting community!
About this Event

Join us for the November 2024 edition of the Campaign for Wool in Canada's Spinning Yarns Speaker Series!

Christine Laframboise is the founder and owner of Waxwing Yarn Company. Her love for wool and knitting runs deep, but her passion for reducing environmental impact, especially within the textile industry, is at the heart of everything she does.

The idea for Waxwing Yarn began several years ago when Christine was searching for local wool options but struggled to find the right product for her projects. Frustrated by the large stash of wool she was accumulating, she wished for the option to purchase yarn in smaller quantities to minimize waste. Her goal became clear: to make more purposeful purchases and reduce surplus.

Waxwing Yarn was born from Christine’s belief in the exceptional quality of Canadian wool, the need for smaller-volume yarn options, and her vision of creating a safe and inclusive space where all makers can connect and share their craft. Waxwing Yarn’s mission is to provide premium, ethically sourced yarn that embodies sustainability, craftsmanship, and creativity.

Through Waxwing Yarn, Christine hopes to inspire a community that values the artistry of textile arts and is committed to eco-conscious practices.

Don’t miss the chance to ask Christine your questions about sourcing Canadian wool from local farms and suppliers, and building a knitting yarn business from the ground up!
