The very best of The Fibre Co. reimagined for Spring/Summer 2021! Our Best of The Fibre Co. collection includes seven timeless designs for building your handmade wardrobe.

Each design chosen from our archive has been reimagined for 2021 in a new yarn or a different colourway. We’ve also expanded the size range for all garments up to a 64” chest.

You can now purchase the Brandelhow pattern as part of a kit in our online store. Purchase here.
