Queen City Fibre Festival 2023
That's right! Regina is getting a fibre festival. Since opening the store and getting to know the fibre community more and more there seems to be a lack of fibre festivals in Saskatchewan. I am (hopefully haha) going to change that.
The Queen City Fibre Festival will take place on September 30th at the Eastview Community Center from 10am to 4:30pm.
Some of our vendors include:
FyberRing Crochet Creations by Shaylene K
Kowalski Knits Purl Passion Yarns
Heartspace Creations MidKnit Cravings Yarn Company
Avocado Girl BK's Bling and Bags
Stuffies By Stacey CrazMade Creations

Admission will be by donation. Either a yarn donation for Angels 4 Warmth or a cash donation for Carmichael Outreach.
There will be raffle prizes with proceeds also going to Carmichael Outreach
- Carmichael Outreach is a registered charity located in Regina, Saskatchewan that provides various services to those in our community who experience poverty and homelessness. Their mission is to foster empowerment through dignity, respect, and advocacy in our community.
Village Mamas YQR will be putting on a canteen to help raise funds for their organization. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks will be available.
