Welcome to Artisanthropy Fibre Arts
A creative home for yarn lovers, makers, and fibre artists.
Your Canadian Source for Premium Fibre Arts Supplies
At Artisanthropy, we’re passionate about providing makers with an exceptional selection of premium yarns, threads, and tools sourced from around the world. Whether you knit, crochet, cross-stitch, tat, or explore other fibre crafts, you’ll always find materials chosen for their quality, beauty, and reliability.
More than that - we believe shopping for your craft supplies should be as joyful as creating with them. That’s why we offer friendly, knowledgeable service, hassle-free returns, and a satisfaction guarantee on every order. From helping you choose the perfect yarn, to making things right if something isn’t exactly as expected, we’re here to ensure your experience is stress-free and inspiring, every step of the way.
Our Story
Founded online in 2016, Artisanthropy quickly grew into a thriving fibre arts community. At the end of 2017, we expanded by acquiring Kniterary & The Hedgehog Stitchery, a combined shop that had been part of Whitby's local fibre arts landscape since 2006. Together, that history means nearly two decades of fibre arts in our community and almost a decade of Artisanthropy innovation.
Over the years, we've evolved from an online-only shop, to vending at many fibre festivals across Southeastern Canada, to physical storefronts, always guided by the same mission: to serve Canadian makers with exceptional products and support.

- Pay Canadian staff and contractors in multiple communities
- Support Canadian dyers, designers, makers and suppliers alongside global brands
- Bring workshops and classes to local towns, introducing new knitters, crocheters and other fibre artists, stimulating Canada's creative community
