September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Today honors the survivors, families, and communities impacted by residential schools. We recognize the ongoing trauma caused by residential schools and the intergenerational impact that that's had on Indigenous communities.

Apologies to anyone who tried to come by in the last two days! Unfortunately one of the joys of running your own business is that sometimes there’s no one to cover you when you’re sick. But not only am I back, but I’m running a sale for 10% off everything in the store! Come by or shop online :)

I really hate to have to do this, but like most Canadian small businesses, I need to pause shipments to the United States. While everything we sell comes from Canadian dyers and businesses, the countries of origin are from all over the world.

Today is National Granny Square Day! I’m celebrating by attempting to make a book sleeve. No pattern, no gauge, just granny squaring until I run out of yarn and hope it’s big enough.
I’m using @lanaknits Allhemp6, which is 100% hemp and 100% perfect.

I’m taking a couple days off to spend time with my family at the cottage! Running a business by myself doesn’t typically allow for much vacation time, so I’m really looking forward to this. The store will be closed Aug 4-6, and regular hours will resume on the 7th.
Have a great long weekend! 😎🌊🧶🇨🇦

In this house, we celebrate Pride all year round! We had @amaranthfibres.bsky.social dye us up a bunch of gorgeous rainbows on a super soft sock weight base, and could not be more thrilled with how they turned out. Don’t sleep on these because they won’t last long 🤩🏳️🌈✨🧶🇨🇦

We just love the Pop Rock Pullover by @tanisfiberarts, who is a colourful and creative Canadian designer!
This tee can be worked in complementary pairings of mohair and fingering weight yarn, so we pulled some of our favourite sets from @matchboxyarn. 🧶🇨🇦 1/2
