My name is Nadia Lindsay. I am the founder, owner, designer and crafter at The Lindsay’s Homestead. I been crafty since I was a child and have added to my fibre craft skills throughout my adulthood.

In my early 20s I found it very hard to find products that were handmade and from local materials, so I started making my own. Taking it one step further I learned how to produce my own hand-spun yarns. I pride myself on processing my fibre from Barn to Yarn, making it by hand into a completed piece. The Lindsay's Homestead became a home based business in 2007 when my husband and I moved to our own little corner of the world in St. Williams, Ontario.

My materials came from farms located within 50 kilometres of this homestead. Following a major move to the Northwest Territories in 2015 my raw fibres are still coming from these small, family run farms in Ontario. I do my own processing in my backyard, during the summer months, following spring shearing. Dye work is done in my home at the north end of Yellowknife. All my items are lovingly made by me and are done by hand, right down to the embroidery on the faces. I get great joy from creating and sometimes designing these wonderful items.

My family and I know the joy that can come from a handmade item and the thrill of tasting something that is fresh and home made. We are now at the point where we can share this with others. Being able to bring our products to others, for their enjoyment, is a dream come true. There is nothing so wonderful as having something that was made just for you!!.

We look forward to being able to give you a piece of our little homestead!
