Canadian Fibre Mill is owned and operated by Howard and Karen Smith located in Caron, Saskatchewan, 18 miles west of the city of Moose Jaw.
We were both born and raised on farms with several generations of farming experience. We learned at an early age the intimate connections between humans and animals.
Karen has a long history in the sheep and wool industry. Her grandfather worked for the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited as a supervisor at the Weston, Ontario location. At the age of 7 Karen was in a farming accident, and during her convalescence her grandmother taught her how to knit and crochet. Assisting in her grandmother’s wool shop she has gained years of experience with the help of experienced knitters and artisans.
