Happy Friday!

We’re delighted to have Vovó by back in store!

Vovó (Portuguese for Grandma) is a versatile and sustainable non-superwash yarn made entirely from fine Portuguese wool. We love knitting with this sport-weight yarn and find it to be a great choice for sweaters and cardigans intended for daily wear.

💛 A Stitch of Kindness 💛

We’re so proud of Wabi Sabi team member Jennifer Gibson and the incredible community effort that brought comfort to patients at Wi******er District Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Last week, Jennifer donated 60 hand-knit hats to the chemotherapy unit at Wi******er District Memorial Hospital, offering warmth and comfort to patients during treatment.

What began as a personal knitting challenge in support of the Canadian Cancer Society soon became a community effort. With support from Wabi Sabi, two free chemo-hat workshops brought knitters together in Hintonburg to create more than 50 hats through shared generosity and care.

Thank you to everyone who knit, donated, and helped turn yarn into comfort for patients and families.

Store favourite Leo BFL from Alley Cat Yarns is a lofty fingering-weight yarn, spun from Bluefaced Leicester wool and hand-dyed right here in Ottawa.

Strong, smooth, and cozy: ideal for socks, sweaters, mitts, and any project that calls for a durable yet comfortable fibre.

As with all hand-dyed yarns, each skein is unique. For larger projects, alternate skeins every row to blend.

Noro Mebuki brings that signature Noro colour magic: slow shifts, rich tones, and no two skeins ever alike.

This DK-weight worsted blend of silk, wool, and viscose comes in generous 150g skeins (450m) is perfect for sweaters and accessories.

It works beautifully with simple designs, as well as stranded and non-stranded colourwork.

Rainy days call for special projects ☔️

Next Level Granny Squares invites you to break from the traditional architecture of the crochet granny square and bring more visual complexity to your projects. You’ll learn to follow detailed charts and approach once-intimidating patterns with confidence!

This is a great class for people already familiar with basic granny square techniques (those won’t be taught during this class).

See our website for more details and reserve your spot!
