Special Launch To Our Fall
So curious what fun things we have planned this Fall? Can’t wait to squish the new yarns we have coming in? We are too!!!
First up, mark your calendars cause on Friday September 26th we have teamed up with three other awesome lower mainland Local Yarn Stores (LYS)s to launch the most exciting weekend of the yarn-year with our inaugural LOVE MY LYS YARN CRAWL!
Baaad Anna’s Yarn Store, Black Sheep Yarns, Urban Yarns and Valley Yarns will host a one-day Yarn Crawl encouraging you to re-visit your fave local fibre-haunts to check out what unique in-store specials will be available at each! You may recognize this as Knit City weekend, and we’d love you to support all of the fantastic indie dyers that showcase there (including many of our store’s in-stock favorites like Bramble Ridge, Fireweed and Sweet Georgia) but as with any good festival, we are adding on to the yarn-merriment! We will be launching some of our new Fall lines, including a number of Canadian indies that are not in attendance at the KC marketplace! Keep an eye on our webpage closer to the date as we will post our store’s weekend specials which will launch at the Friday Yarn Crawl.
Secondly, you may ALSO want to visit the neighbourhood on Thursday September 25th as Anna Hunter of Long Way Homestead will be launching her new book ‘The True Cost of Wool’ at our lovely neighbour Iron Dog Books! We will be open late (right through to 9pm!) that night and hosting a pop-up of one of our favorite BC farmed yarns: West Coast Colour! We carry a number of local farmed wools and alpaca to stand up to the call to support the Canadian wool industry, and are thrilled we can showcase the yarn of Lynn’s amazing West Coast Colour sheep!
Lastly we have a few more surprises to launch throughout the month of September so keep an eye here for our next set of announcements. Over the next four weeks we will be spotlighting some of the Canadian-based indie dyers that we are stocking up for the Fall and one more truly random addition to our Baaadie offerings that will go live on that same yarntastic weekend… stay tuned for additional teasers!
