Here’s a reminder that we sell yarn.

Lots of it.

Soft yarn. Squishy yarn. Woolly yarn. Sparkly yarn. Sock yarn. Sweater yarn. “I definitely don’t need another skein” yarn. (Yes, you do.)

Need needles? We’ve got those too.
Patterns? Yep.
Notions? Absolutely.
Enabling? That’s complimentary. 😉

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to cast on something new… this is it.

Come squish some yarn with us! ❤️

If you aren’t matching your coworker… what are you even doing?

Whether it’s coordinating sweaters, matching socks, or accidentally buying the same yarn (again), fibre friends just seem to be on the same wavelength.

Happy International Day of Friendship!

Four new colours of Noro Silk Garden Sock have just landed on our shelves!

If you’ve been waiting for your next pair of colourful socks, shawl, or lightweight project, now’s the perfect time to stop by. Noro’s signature self-striping colourways never disappoint.

Come see the new colours for yourself—we have a feeling they won’t be here for long!

Warning: This reel may cause an uncontrollable urge to crochet tiny things.

From adorable animals and sweet little characters to seasonal decorations and playful gifts, the Ricorumi books are packed with colourful amigurumi projects that are just as fun to make as they are to display.

Whether you’re brand new to amigurumi or already have a growing collection of tiny crocheted friends, there’s a book here ready to inspire your next project.

Now the important question… if you could crochet just one thing from these books, what would it be?

Cold weather might be the last thing on your mind… but mitten season has a funny way of sneaking up on us.

When we return from holidays, we’ll have a fresh collection of mitten kits available both online and in-store!

This year’s lineup includes:
• Magenta Mittens – beautifully lined and knit with Briggs & Little Sport.
• Briggs Mittens – another cozy lined mitten, featuring Briggs & Little Heritage.
• Easy Mittens with Thrums – choose between a classic Heritage kit or a Malabrigo Rios version, both paired with soft roving for wonderfully warm thrums.

Whether you’re knitting for yourself, getting a head start on holiday gifts, or just can’t resist a good mitten project, we’ve got a kit ready for you.

Which pair would you cast on first?

We’re taking a little summer holiday… but the savings are just getting started!

From June 28 – July 10, our storefront will be closed while we take a short break. We’ll be back and ready to welcome you on Saturday, July 11.

In the meantime, from June 28 – July 5, enjoy:
• 20% off all yarn
• 15% off needles, hooks, books, notions, wool wash, and accessories.

No coupon needed! It’s the perfect time to stock up on all those “I’ve been meaning to try that” projects.

Please note: all sale items are final sale, and online orders will ship once we return.

Thank you for your continued support. We hope you have a wonderful start to summer, and we’ll see you soon!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled book posts to bring you… new notions!

We’ve added a few new accessories to the shop, including Katia Stitch Holder Cords in two sizes.

• One for needle sizes under 4.5mm
• One for needle sizes 5mm and up

That’s right, bulky project knitters—we finally have a larger cord option for trying on sweaters and holding all those stitches!

We’ve also brought in a new wooden yarn holder. If you like to walk and knit, this might be your new best friend. Slip it on your wrist and let it hold your yarn while you stitch. It also works wonderfully hanging in the car for road trip knitting. (As the passenger, of course.)

Which one are you most excited about?

Looking to make some new friends this summer? Look no further!

We have animals, more animals, and gnomes. Lots and lots of gnomes.

Whether you enjoy knitting, sewing, stitching, or embroidery, there’s a book here ready to introduce you to your next favourite project.

We’re not supposed to play favourites, but Tiny Friends is pretty darn cute. Tiny handmade creatures? Adorable. Tiny handmade creatures with embroidery details? Even better.

Then there are the Gnomes of Grimblewood. The colour combinations alone are enough to keep us entertained for months.

And can we talk about Mouche & Friends for a moment? Those little sweaters are almost too cute to handle. Almost.

Which book would you choose first? Let us know below!
