Waxwing Cèdre
Cèdre is a single-ply, woollen-spun fingering weight yarn made from 100% Canadian wool. Soft, lofty, and versatile, it’s carefully crafted to retain its natural durability and next-to-skin comfort—without the use of harsh chemicals, superwash treatments, or bleach. This sustainable yarn stays true to its fibre, offering makers an authentic Canadian wool experience.
Dyed in warm, inviting tones that complement its creamy natural base, Cèdre is available in 28 harmonious colours—perfect for colourwork, texture, and timeless fibre arts projects. Whether used on its own for light, airy fabric or held double for worsted to aran weight creations, Cèdre adapts beautifully to projects big and small.
With flexible skein sizes (25 g or 100 g), you can purchase exactly what you need—helping reduce waste while keeping your making sustainable and purposeful.
Elevate your craft with Cèdre, a proudly Canadian wool yarn designed to inspire creativity while supporting local farms and mills.
From Christine Laframboise of Waxwing:
Waxwing Yarn was born from my belief in the exceptional quality of Canadian wool, the need for smaller volume yarn options, and my desire to create a safe and inclusive space where all makers can come together and share their craft. Our mission is to offer premium, ethically sourced yarn that embodies sustainability, craftsmanship, and creativity.

Winding: this yarn comes in a skein. We recommend it be wound either by hand or on a ball winder and swift before use. See our in-store winding policy here.
*Please keep in mind that colourway appearance will vary from screen to screen and we cannot guarantee a 100% colour match to the way it appears on your screen. Always buy enough yarn for your project so we can guarantee that dye lots will match.
**Each skein of hand-dyed yarn is a unique item. As such, the yarn you receive can differ somewhat from batch to batch, and from this picture. While we do our best to represent here the colourways of each dyer, it is possible that the yarn you receive may not look exactly like the one seen here.
While no dye lot is available, they are usually dyed in batches and we do our utmost to ensure each skein of the same colourway and your order matches as well as possible. Always buy enough yarn for your project. If we cannot guarantee a good match between skeins, we will contact you before shipment to make arrangements.
