Fibre Art Studio & Apothecary

Welcome to Merino Mint. Tucked beneath tall old trees in the Rideau Lakes, our old Victorian home has a cozy front porch where the family gathers, an old screen door that swings open to the garden, and a flock of fancy hens keeping an eye on everyone.

Up in the attic studio, looms and knots become handwoven tapestries, from the whimsical storefronts of Storybook Row to the earthy abstracts of Meadow Bend, along with macramé treasures from Knotted Hollow.

Down in the parlour, our apothecary turns botanicals from the garden, and the land nearby into soaps, salves, and deodorants. Every piece is made slowly, by hand, in small batches.

Formerly Charleston Botanicals: same care, a new name, and a little more to explore.
