Wool-Tyme

Wool-Tyme We offer a large selection of quality yarns, patterns, and accessories from around the world Wool-Tyme was founded in 1986 in a small mall in Ottawa, ON. ft.

Wool-Tyme is an independent yarn shop that has been in business for over 25 years. We shared the store with a framing business at that time. Wool-Tyme has moved a couple of times since 1986 and now, in conjunction with our growing internet store, occupies over 6,000 sq. Wool-Tyme has a reputation for its knowledgeable, courteous staff, its quick and efficient service to on-line customers, and some

great sales. We offer lessons, both class and private, and bring in special guest designers and teachers on a regular basis. Back in 1986 we started with a few basic yarns. Since then we have greatly expanded our stock to include over 200 yarns from around the world, including luxury fibres such as silk, alpaca, and quiviut. Our yarn selection in conjunction with our great selection of patterns, needles, hooks and accessories will ensure that you can find everything for your project here whenever you visit our retail store. Our on-line store carries most of the yarns that the retail store has, and we are adding to it constantly. Prices range from inexpensive, under $5.00 a ball, to luxury yarns at $40.00 or more per ball, and everything in between.

The wait is over! To celebrate the 200th birthday of this vibrant city, and the 40th birthday of Wool-Tyme, we have decided to collaborate with Hand Maiden and Fleece Artist to bring you yarns that display the colours of Ottawa that we love! Now available in store and online our website



Toques on Ice - inspired by the unique and special experience of skating on the Rideau Canal, this colourway reminds us of bright colours amid an often long winter. Enjoying a skate after work (or maybe on your way there), grabbing a warm beavertail, or even just walking by seeing the canal open for the season, warms the heart on even the coldest days

Blooming Bright - Tulip Festival is arguably the most colourful time of year in Ottawa, and we thought that this colourway truly captured the vibrant blooms we get to see. Each flower is unique, just like these skeins, and they bring so much light and joy to all who see them. Ottawa is a diverse place in every sense of the word, and these bright colours highlight that in such a special way.

Copper Hill - an iconic part of the landscape of Ottawa, Parliament Hill is found at the heart of this city and is visited by millions from near and far every year. The copper tones have changed over the years of exposure to the elements, just like we see in the yarn, but this treasured building remains a symbol of this country’s colourful history

Falling Rivers - every season in Ottawa has something special, but the Autumn colours along the Ottawa River are a beautiful sight. The river has a rich history and was crucial to the development of this city and was important to those who called this place home before it became Ottawa as we know it today. The contrast of vibrant fall colours and the calming blues of the water make it a cozy yarn for any time of year
