If you've been in the shop this week or last, you might have noticed a little update to our Highlight Nook. We're now showing completed staff crafts alongside the featured yarn, so you can see firsthand how these fibres knit and crochet up into finished pieces!

First up in the spotlight is DROPS Snow. We currently have a few handmade bags crafted by our staff sitting in the nook. It is such a fun way to see how this soft, super-bulky wool holds shape, texture, and stitch definition in projects.

Stop by the shop to check out the finished bags, feel the yarn in person, or grab a few skeins to cast on a quick weekend project! To see our DROPS Snow stock online, check the link below!

We have a lovely new yarn on our shelves this week—Haynes Creek!

Spun from soft, high-quality wool, this yarn delivers a balance of warmth and durability. It has a beautiful stitch definition that makes cabled sweaters, textured scarves, and cold-weather accessories pop, all while feeling comfortable against the skin. The colourways feature a mix of earthy, nature-inspired tones that are just right for autumn projects.

We just unpacked a delivery of Make it Flöckchen by Rico Design, which you can find on our back store shelves!

It is designed to be held alongside your favourite base yarn to add a cloud-like texture or playful pops of colour to your knitting or crochet.

If you've been in our store recently, you might've noticed a new display sitting near the front—our highlight nook!

We wanted a dedicated space to celebrate individual yarns. Each week, this shelf will feature a chosen yarn alongside a little write-up explaining what makes it special, where it comes from, or ideas for what it knits up best into. It’s our way of taking a moment to appreciate the details of the fibres on our shelves. Next time you drop by, take a peek at what's currently in the spotlight!

Our latest staff craft is hot off the needles, and we are in love with how these fingerless gloves turned out!

Made using Lang Yarns Galaxy, they have a beautiful gradient that catches the light nicely. Best of all, they are a quick project—a single pair takes only about 28 grams on 2.75mm needles, meaning you can easily get a full pair out of a single ball of yarn!

If you're looking for a fun gift idea or something for your own hands, drop by the shop to see them in person or take a peek at our Galaxy shades online at the link below!

We have a fresh batch of Estelle's Eco Shetland Worsted on our shelves, and it is a dream for crafting. Spun from 100% GOTS-certified organic Shetland wool, this yarn comes from a company that prioritizes eco-friendly textile practices.

Because it is woolen-spun, extra air is trapped inside the fibres. That gives it a lightweight bounce and warmth without feeling heavy—making it great for cabled sweaters or warm accessories. You're welcome to pop by the shop to feel a skein in person, or take a look at the shades on our website whenever you're planning your next project!
