Kawartha Yarn and Fibre Festival June 8!

This Saturday we're exhibiting at the second annual Kawartha Yarn and Fibre Festival!

Kawartha Yarn & Fibre Festival (KYAFF) is a single day event showcasing 80 local and independent vendors, with a mini-market for small businesses designed specifically to help small companies with great products put a spotlight on their unique products, attracting passionate fiber artists of all types. Knitters, crocheters, spinners and felters will all find something perfect for them.

Last year was KYAFF’s first year and they have exploded in size! We are joining them for the first time and have some big plans. We’ll share what we are bringing here to help you plan in advance.

And here’s our  festival Special:

Stoney Lake Textiles
Locally hand-crafted bags using organic and canadian sourced materials. We’ll be bringing a festival exclusive DOPP bag in three limited edition linen blend Kokka prints. We’ve only got 15 of the DOPP bags so come early to avoid disappointment.

Gobsmacked

This Saturday marks the kick-off of the Cottage Country Yarn Crawl at KYAFF and the launch of our limited edition Wild Columbine inspired mini skein kit! Locally dyed by the super talented Marit Munson of Gobsmacked fame, each kit is beautifully unique, and designed to knit up in a dappled, subtle gradient. Use as part of the CCYC wildflower shawl, or any project your heart desires. We'll have them available starting at the festival this weekend then at the shop for the duration of the crawl while supplies last.
