Our pals at Power Promotional Concepts have brought back a favourite toque design!

Cold weather style for a Dartmouth winter!

Image description
A quick video shows a yellow, blue and white toque rotating outside The Trainyard. The word “Dartmouth” is knit into the hat in blue yarn. An image follows the video, showing a white goose inside a basket, in front of a sidewalk sign. The hat covers the goose’s head, so only the end of the orange beak is showing.

There was a bit of a bite to that wind this morning, so we feel like it’s the perfect time to let you know that the goose mittens are back in stock!

We’re looking forward to seeing more silly geese on the street!

The side profile of a mitten knit to resemble a goose (white head, orange beak and black eye) is in front of a floral mural. In the first photo, the hand is closed so it appears like the beak is closed. As you swipe, the hand opens a bit until the beak appears wide open.
