About Us

Hours:

Monday - Saturday: 10:00am - 5:00pm
Sunday: Closed

We are closed on all statutory holidays.

We have been Vernon's Local Yarn Shop since 2012! We are a family operated yarn boutique that has a passion for all things fibre. Whether its colour, texture or style, we stock a large variety of yarns to suite your creative instincts... Berroco, Cascade, Colour Adventures, BC Garn, Malabrigo, and Knitting for Olive to name a few brands.

We want to celebrate the age old art of using fibre and assist in the renewed interest and awareness of knitting, crocheting, felting, spinning and weaving. We want to promote awareness of the use of natural products - anyone one can use - wool, alpaca, silk, cotton, hemp, yak and linen; and to provide an atmosphere where anyone can be creative, and an environment to inspire to create the uncreated!
