About us

Heavenly Yarns :: Fiber of Maine provides you with an incredible selection of yarn, from handspun to mill-spun, as well as the supplies you need for your fiber projects. We carry a full array of commercial yarns from some of the most popular yarn companies alongside beautiful, one of a kind handdyed yarns from small producers.

Who we are:

Fiber of Maine began in 2015 as a way to highlight our Maine yarn selection, but Heavenly Yarns has been serving the Belfast knitting community since 2003.  We pride ourselves on being an important creative hub for the Midcoast, and a welcoming destination for Belfast's summer tourist population.  When the shop's founder Helen Sahadi retired in 2025, Jackie Ottino of Forage Color took over the shop.  Jackie has deep roots in the Maine fiber world, from dyeing yarn to product development, and is looking forward to expanding our offerings.

Why Fiber of Maine?

In 2020, as we closed our brick and mortar shop, Heavenly Yarns, to the public for eight weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic, we realized we had to expand our Maine yarn website into something bigger.  We began cataloging every yarn and product we had in the shop so that our loyal customers (both locally based and summer friends from away) could continue to shop our store.  In the years since, our website has grown and we now fill orders from across the country.  Unfortunately our Maine yarn section is not what it once was as Maine-based yarn companies and woolen mills have gone out of business, but we are always trying to find Maine-based yarns and products to feature along with a diverse selection of beautiful and well-made yarns from all over the world.

We'd love to hear from you:
