That Yarn Habit

Creating, crafting and community are for everyone, always. However you show up, you belong here.

Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Prairie Fibre Festival is almost here and I can hardly believe we’re less than 2 weeks away! 🌾🧶

Join us Saturday, June 13 in Olds, Alberta for a day packed with yarn, fibre, shopping, community, inspiration and all the squishy goodness your project bags can handle.

I’ll be bringing brand new collections, familiar favourites and a few surprises along the way. If you’ve been waiting to see the new releases in person, this is your chance!

Whether you’re a knitter, crocheter, spinner, weaver or just fibre-curious, Prairie Fibre Festival is such a fun day to connect with fellow makers and celebrate all things fibre.

Who’s planning to come shop and squish yarn with me? 💛

Camp Yarn Habit is heading back to the lake May 7–9, 2027 at Moonlight Bay on Wabamun Lake, AB 🌲🧶

We are beyond excited to welcome Sarah Schira of Imagined Landscapes as our Saturday instructor! Known around the world for her whimsical gnome patterns and unforgettable mystery knitalongs, Sarah will be teaching two classes during retreat weekend — one beginner friendly and one a little more advanced.

Your retreat weekend includes accommodations, meals, instruction, a welcome gift, and an exclusive Camp Yarn Habit tee. Shared cabins and limited single cabins will be available.

⏰ Registration opens Friday, July 3 at 12pm MT. Spots will be first come, first served and we expect them to go quickly!

Something big is brewing in the dye pots… 👀✨

Just a tiny glimpse… 👀🧶✨

Another zoomed-in tease of one of the brand new colourways and honestly, these colours are making it very hard to keep the secret much longer.

This upcoming release has been divided into TWO connected collections inspired by the same world, each with its own completely different vibe. Bold contrasts, layered speckles, rich tones, and colour combinations that feel like they’ve stepped straight out of an adventure story.

The full reveal is getting closer… but for now you’ll have to keep guessing. 🤫

June is going to be a fun one.
