We are a 'group of eight' yarn shops nestled in picturesque cottage country, the ideal setting for a relaxing road trip this summer through the back roads of Ontario. From shimmering shorelines to towering pine forests, quiet historic villages, wide open farmlands, and breathtaking vistas at every turn of the road, this is where summertime begins. So plan out your route, lather on the sunscreen, pack a few snacks and grab a few backseat knitting friends to explore what we have to offer.
To kick things off, we will be coordinating our yarn crawl start date with the Kawartha Yarn & Fibre Festival in Fenelon Falls on Saturday June 9th. This is the inaugural year for the exciting one-day event showcasing a marketplace with seventy vendors and fibre artists as well as classes available for pre-registering. Event tickets can be purchased in advance by clicking on the KYAFF link provided. We have added an 'extra' spot on our yarn crawl passport for anyone attending this event to be automatically entered in the KYAFF crawl draw on June 9th. That's just a little extra bonus draw on top of what we have planned at the end of the summer!
