Heidi Wulfraat’s London-Wul Fibre Arts

Brilliantly coloured skeins of yarn in a variety of textures, knitted and crocheted shawls, scarves, mitts and hats festooned on racks draw one’s attention compellingly to Heidi Wulfraat’s London-Wul kiosk at the Marché Moncton Market. All hand-spun and hand-dyed, Heidi’s yarns are made of all natural fibres, including hair from Heidi’s own angora rabbits, sheep and goats. Following traditional methods of carding and hand spinning to produce these exceptional yarns, Heidi employs these age-old methods to produce new forms of what she so aptly calls "fibre art." Well acquainted with the history of making wool through the ages, Heidi has a wonderful interactive workshop and boutique on her property at 1937 Chemin Melanson Road, Greater Lakeburn, NB, E1H 2C6. Open all year round, it features regularly scheduled workshops and guided tours. A member of the International Économuseum Network Society whose mission is "to showcase traditional trades and know-how across Canada." Heidi’s business incorporates animals and art to produce one-of-a-kind handcrafted items of great beauty made from "innovative new fabrics" with lasting wearability. An almost symbolic relationship between her animals and her art comes from the peaceful environment she has created for her animals to thrive in, with a nurturing in the physical and psychological aspect of animal husbandry with low stress levels resulting in "the highest quality of excellence in fibre production." Used to working in a hands-on manner, Heidi also showcases wooden knitting needles made from exotic woods and produced exclusively at her London-Wul Fibre Arts Centre. Works of art in their own right, Heidi extols the merits of their fine quality and workmanship.
