The Itty Bitty Yarn Co.

The Itty Bitty Yarn Co. Hi I’m Karen. I am the owner of The Itty Bitty Yarn Co. I hope you’ll stop in and say hi. Don't know how to knit or crochet, or its been a while? Don't fret.

My favourite things to do, is to launch others into the world of knit and crochet, in a relaxed, patient and fun environment. What started out as a small Mississauga based shop, that moved to private lessons in my basement, after moving to Listowel, has evolved once again, into a brick and mortar location. Located in Mitchell, ON, and measuring in at just over 200sqft, the shop is aptly named The

Itty Bitty Yarn Co. As a proud Canadian, the goal is to source inventory from Canadian-based, indie dyers, and support their small businesses. Our inventory is made up, primarily of high quality, unique, finger-weight yarns, which can be used to create one of a kind socks, shawls, hats, etc. By pairing with a complimentary solid yarn, thus increasing the gauge, the possibilities are endless. One-on-one classes are available, for those 10 to 100+. Looking for something to do? Grab your knitting or crocheting project, and come visit. Coffee is always on. Watch this page, for additional activities being offered.

What a weekend at the Fibre Festival 🌧️🧶
A huge thank you to all of the organizers and volunteers who worked so hard to make the best of a very wet and challenging situation. Your effort, flexibility, and positivity did not go unnoticed.
An even bigger thank you to my booth buddy/cheerleader/hype-girl, Carol. I’m so glad you walked through my shop door, 3 years ago. Love you.
And to all of the familiar faces and new fibre friends who popped into the tent — whether you stopped by to shop, chat, support this small business, or deliver much-needed hot chocolate and moral support — thank you. Truly.
Weekends like this are a reminder that the fibre community is something pretty special. ❤️
We came home soggy, tired, grateful, and already looking forward to the next event.

Because of the weather, we know some of you may have decided not to make the trip to the festival — or may have stopped by the shop, only to discover we were away at the festival tent (sorry about that 💛).
To help make up for it, please take advantage of automatic FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $60 at www.ittybittyyarn.ca
No code required — the discount will apply automatically at checkout.
This offer ends at midnight Sunday. 🧶📦

Oy vey!!!!
This reminds me of too many Girl Guide May camping trips.
I'm mentally reworking my display, but still plan to bring 80% of my original planned inventory.
The shop is open today until 4pm, and will be closed tomorrow, while Carol and I rock out in the tent.

Dear Fibre Friends, customers, vendors and volunteers

Tomorrow, the weather looks unpredictable for the afternoon. We will set up in the morning and hope for the best. But, should it become too windydangerous, there's a possibility that the festival will end earlier than anticipated.

We are fibre makers - we know how to hang on until the last stitch is eventually counted....but we also know when a dropped stitch has gone too far. We will do our best to stay all day but please be advised that we recommend you come in the morning before the weather situation deteriorates....

Volunteers, please come early for takedown and keep an eye out for a call-out for help should we need to shut down early...

And let's all cross our needles and hope that we can hook onto some sunshine that causes this system to clear right up!
