Ottawa Valley Fiber Arts (OVFA) was created to bring the best spinning, weaving and fiber related supplies to you. We serve spinners, weavers, dyers and fiber artists in the Ottawa/Gatineau region in person, and everyone else virtually! All of our products can be found in our webstore.
The January Fibre Box went out a few weeks ago. It was a colourful month! In February, the theme is "Luxury" for Valentine's Day. I have a limited number of available subscriptions, so order one now if you are interested. Ii am uncovering such fabulous Canadian fibre producers, what fun!
If you are looking for a spinning wheel NOW (call me little miss patience), the Majacraft Rose and Pioneer are here! Millie will be a few weeks more. An Ashford Traditional will be joining us in late Feburary. Also, there are both an S10 single and double treadle in stock at the moment too. I love Louet's classic wheel. The Little Gem is waiting for a drive band to replace the one I took off for another customer (so Gem will be available again soon).
Abby Franquemont's new book "Respect the spindle" is out! For some strange reason, there has been a run on spindles, and I only have a few left in stock. I also ordered in her video, Drafting the long and short of it, but will have to reorder as it is already gone!
OVFA will be giving 10% of all sales to the relief efforts in Haiti from Jan 1 to March 31st.
Many of the photos on this site are by Mike Wade on flikr. He takes fabulous photos of many things, including his spinning. Thank you Mike for letting me use some of your photos! He also is involved with the Men's Knitting Retreat, check it out.
