Week 2 is underway in The Great Canadian Makealong!

This week, we are featuring the fantastic Julie Asselin |Hand Dyed Yarns yarns from Sherbrooke, Quebec. Julie and her fibre arts partner Jean-François have a deep love for the craft that shows in their thoughtful fibre sourcing and yarn development. We had an incredible talk with Julie, and we can't wait to share it with you!

We carry Julie Asselin |Hand Dyed Yarns Nurtured (a squishy blended heather yarn in fine and worsted weight ideal for sweaters and shawls), Journey Sport (sleek and defined, made from the cousin of the Merino sheep), Boucle (an impossibly fluffy and textured yarn reminiscent of a muppet), and Douillet (a chunky yarn that is so cozy, you can't help but pet it).

Week 2 prize is two skeins of Douillet in your chosen colors, so start sending in those entries!!

(And can someone please help us pronounce Douillet properly?)

We're into Week 2 of the Great Canadian Make Along and we have Part 2 of our chat with Megan Ingman of Megan Ingman.

Lauren and Megan dive into the importance of advocacy and community is keeping small businesses and *especially* fibre arts businesses alive.

We loved connecting with you, Megan - your leadership in the fibre arts world makes us all better. Thank you 😊 ❤️

Week 1 winner was announced! (Congrats to Leah Holland whose winning entry on GoSadi won her two skeins of Lichen and Lace yarn!). Get your Week 2 entries in!

Part 1: Meet Megan from Lichen and Lace!

We have carried Lichen and Lace from the very beginning of Sweet Threads - her innovative colors, minimalist packaging, and thoughtful use of fibres (especially eco-friendly options) have completely won us over.

It was lovely to chat with Megan about her business, her start in the fibre world and her thoughts about Canadian yarn. (I can't imagine opening a yarn store when the only knitter she knew was her grandma!! Talk about a leap of faith!)

Stay tuned for Part 2 and don't forget to enter Week 1 of The Great Canadian Make Along to win your own Megan Ingman skeins 😀

(And definitely check out Elena’s Knits on YouTube for her full visit of the Lichen and Lace house!)

Make this the year you actually learn to knit!

Join us Monday nights in September to knit a simple little scarf. You'll learn every step from the very beginning in a safe and welcoming environment.

There are just 4 spots left - grab one and join us around the knitting table this fall! 🍂

The poster scarf is knit in Noro Silk Garden - the color changes happen as you knit, which keeps every row interesting! For this project, you can choose any medium weight yarn you like, but we do love this one!

Our Make Along started yesterday, and the first entries are rolling in! If you're looking for some inspiration to wrap yourself in Canadian wool this fall, these 10 patterns will keep you cozy.

Week 1: Featuring Lichen & Lace!

Welcome to the start of your Great Canadian Make Along! This week, our prize is two skeins of the colorful and merino soft 80/20 sock yarn by Lichen & Lace. This sport weight yarn hits all our ecofriendly goals by being "easy care washable" without using the superwash process. They also use only recycled nylon in the blend, making this about as environmentally sustainable as a sock yarn can get.

Lichen & Lace is based out of Sackville, NB and we're excited to share more about their owner Megan in a short interview releasing later this week.

For now, we'd love to see what you're casting on for the make along! To enter, post a picture on Instagram and tag Sweet Threads Yarn & Fibre, attend a Makers Circle at our shop in Squamish, or head over to GoSadi to join our discussion thread there! Do all 3 and get 3 entries :)

See you soon!

The Great Canadian Make Along starts Sunday! 🍁

We've rounded up 10 patterns from 10 Canadian designers and paired them with 10 Canadian yarn choices.

For those of you who are still in summer mode, you *definitely* still have time to make one last tank top. And if not....hey, you'll be ready for next year!

So what season are you casting on for?

Say you’ll be there! We’ve got 3 new classes up on the website for you:

Learn to knit a Simple Little Scarf: no experience necessary, this is a great first project! Plus, once you make one little scarf, you’ll want to make a million for all your friends and family.

Intro to Band Weaving: Shannon created the sweetest apple loom for you to take home with you. Fall in love with the art of rigid heddle weaving in this perfectly portable format. (Side note, I took this class last month and I’ve already made so many bands for so many purposes….I love it!)

Darn everything: Sarah Chambers walks you through mending your holey knit socks, sweaters and toques. It’s the perfect time to pull out those warm clothes and get them fixed before the chill sets in! Plus, patches are very recession chic.

All classes up on our website!
