The magic of a variegated colourway is all in the transformation. 🪄🏳️‍🌈 We wanted to give you a close-up look at how our "Pride" Sock yarn shifts forms—from a beautiful skein, to a wound-up cake, to a finished knit swatch so you can see exactly how the colours pool and play together!

Watching these colors blend seamlessly into one cohesive fabric is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. Our goal will always be to cultivate a safe, vibrant, and genuinely inclusive oasis for the making community. Everyone is welcome at our craft table—provided you leave any TRASH behaviour (Transphobia, Racism, Ableism, Sexism, or Homophobia) out on the sidewalk. 🕊️❤️

True inclusivity means ensuring every single maker feels seen, celebrated, and valued exactly as they are. See the stitch definition up close, and tell us: do you prefer looking at yarn in the skein, the cake, or the swatch? 👇✨

It’s no secret that our Frankie colourway is one of our absolute all-time best sellers—but did you know it’s entirely modeled after our resident Head of Security and official shop dog? 🐶✨

Frankie is a Great Pyrenees-Poodle mix (a Pyredoodle!), and just like her, this signature colourway contains multitudes. To celebrate our favourite fluffy muse, we’ve put together the ultimate Frankie base matrix so you can see how this beautiful, soft palette takes to different fibres! ☁️🌾

Because Frankie herself is a complex cosmic soul, we’ve also attached a full breakdown of her personality 🪐👀

Whether she is acting like a disciplined guard supervising our shop inventory bins, or going full psycho-mode with crazy eyes, she keeps life in the studio endlessly entertaining.

Drop a comment below and tell us: which fibre base are you casting onto next, and more importantly—which likes and dislikes do you and Frankie have in common? 👇🐕

There are exactly 10 days left until Father’s Day, which means you still have just enough time to whip up a classic pair of hand-knit socks. A beautifully versatile neutral is always a foolproof gift idea, and our best-selling Frankie colourway works up into the perfect cozy staple. Stop by 1590 Dundas St W to grab a skein, or browse our durable notions and gift cards at the link in our bio! 🧔🌾

🗓️ Friday, June 5: 11 AM – 8 PM
🗓️ Saturday, June 6: 11 AM – 8 PM
🗓️ Sunday, June 7: 11 AM – 6 PM

To celebrate our favourite block party, we are hosting a massive Luxury Giveaway all weekend long! ☁️✨ We are drawing TWO separate winners to receive a premium 4-skein sweater quantity of our most decadent base: Good Grief Dye Studio Softy—a dreamy, ultra-luxurious blend of buttery Merino, shining Silk, and Cashmere ($225 retail value!).

HOW TO ENTER:
Every single purchase made in-store from Friday morning until Sunday at closing automatically gets you a ballot in the jar. No minimum spend required! 🎟️

We will be drawing the two lucky winners live on our stories after we close on Sunday night. Mark your weekend calendars, grab your project bags, and come see us at 1590 Dundas St W! 👇🧶
