Your Hosts
Faith Drinnan
Faith’s fibre addiction began at 5 years old when her grandmother, visiting from England, taught her to knit. In 2017, Faith sold her marketing agency (after 25 years) and launched Sisterhood Fibres – the company of her dreams. Whether you are looking for a fibre festival, a workshop, a road trip, a spinning wheel, or a skein of hand spun and hand dyed yarn – you will find it at Sisterhood Fibres.
That and… so much more. Feel the love, Sister!
Lynn Kinsella
Lynn appreciates all forms of fibre art, but focuses on rug hooking, needle felting and nuno felting herself. She’s attended the NS Rug Hooking school numerous times, has taken classes in both needle and nuno felting, loves doing retreats with like minded fibre friends and most recently enjoyed travelling to Wales with the Sisterhood to participate in Woolen Wales – an amazing experience. She’s been fortunate to have visited Newfoundland/Labrador on four previous occasions and is always captivated by the beauty of the rugged landscape and the warmth and talent of the people.
