Calling all Canadian fibre or textile makers, artists, and crafters far and wide! Do you have a locally based or online shop, supplier, service, gallery or museum that you love to support and go to for all your fibre and textile needs? We’re compiling a gift shopping guide for Canadian fibre and textile makers, and we would love to include all of your favourite shops so others can enjoy them as much as you do (and so crafters can send their loved ones to exactly the right place for gifts!).
