Yarns for Winter

As you may have heard, Winter is Coming. That means it's time to start planning ahead (if you haven't already), and dig into the heavier, warmer yarns.

Always classic, Alafosslopi and Lettlopi are two of the hardest working yarns out there. Fun fact: Viking settlers brought domestic sheep to Iceland in AD 874!



We recently brought in a number of new yarns from SMC: Bravo Big, Bravo Big Colour, and Lumio. Well it turns out that they have been releasing loads of free patterns to accompany the yarns - what's not to like?



And finally, it's never too early to start thinking about gifts... My personal recommendation? Get some beginner classes for friends and family, and spread the love of yarn! We've got some fantastically talented teachers who are always ready for a challenge.

For registration information, please see our Classes page.



- Coming Soon: SweetGeorgia Trinity Worsted -
Any day now we should be seeing a very exciting shipment coming in from SweetGeorgia: a whole whopping great amount of Trinity Worsted. 
 
At 70% superwash merino, 20% cashmere, and 10% silk, it's an easy way to get a bit more luxury in your diet. We'll have more colours than you can shake a stick at, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for the announcement!

I am thrilled to be an addition to the Point Grey Village merchant community and very proud to be part of all the women retail owners who bring community to our quaint neighbourhood.

We are very excited to offer classes in the Don Jitsu Ryu System in an "all are welcome, safe, fun, family" environment to the family of Point Grey. Our goal is to make a positive difference in people's lives through the martial arts, kickboxing, karobics and yoga, and bring health and  fitness to all age groups in my community.
