String Theory Yarn Shop

Hi everyone! Miranda has gone this weekend to Barrie for Fibre Spirit. This means no Friday Night Knit Night this week. But if anyone is heading out to Barrie tomorrow make sure to keep an eye out for the String Theory Booth and say hi to Miranda!!!

There are some places that stay with you long after you've returned home.

For me, Scotland is one of them.

Its spectacular landscapes, rich textile traditions, welcoming communities, and incredible literary history inspired me to create a journey that brings all of those passions together.

In July 2027, Brendan Myers and I will be hosting the Great Scottish Fibre & Fiction Tour—a small-group adventure for fibre enthusiasts, readers, and anyone who has fallen in love with Scotland.

If you're at the Fergus Scottish Festival this coming weekend Aug 7-9, I'd love to chat with you! Stop by the String Theory Yarn Shop booth, enter our Taste of Scotland prize draw, and discover what makes this tour so special.

Hope to see you there!

Good drinks. Good company. A little stitching. What more could you ask for?

We're excited to introduce Sip N' Stitch—a brand-new collaboration between The Outpost Bottle Shop, Kwilt Kozy, and String Theory Yarn Shop!

Whether you're looking for a fun night out with friends, a unique date night, or simply an excuse to slow down and make something with your hands, this evening is for you.

For $40 + HST, your ticket includes:
- A flight of 4 craft beer samples or a 9 oz glass of wine
- Your choice of one take-home stitching project:
• Embroidered felt bag charm
• Hand-stitched wine glass slippers

Never picked up a needle before? Perfect! Both projects are beginner-friendly, and we'll provide everything you need—including instruction, materials, and plenty of encouragement.
