I try mainly to work through my stash.
But I try to buy independent from stores in our region.
Fortunately, Wool-tyme is within driving distance. They have a great selection of quality yarns.
Their store offers classes and has knowledgeable and helpful staff. Their clearance section carries a lot of Diamond Yarns (major distributor) discontinued and overstock but is only accessible in-person.
For those not aware, Wool-tyme is also Canada’s largest online yarn store.
They do ship to the United States and other countries. You can select US$ and other currency pricing at the bottom of the page.
It’s a family-owned business, now in its fifth decade. The original owner passed it down to her niece.
It’s got a fiesty history — the original name of the store was Wool-mart and they ended up in court when Walmart came to Canada and tried to force her to change the name.
