I visited Black Sheep from out of town and found the staff to be super friendly and helpful. I loved the selection of regional, hand-dyed yarns and will certainly visit again!

This store has a new owner who is in the process of restocking the shelves, so it is a bit bare at the moment but I am sure that this is temporary. The owner saw me peeking in the window on a day that they were closed and she opened up the store for me to browse! Very friendly place, will visit agin!

Kaliedoscope is worth the drive because not only is there a a cute little shop, but you can also tour their working museum/woolen mill. They sell their own brand of wools in worsted, lopi, and bulky 6-strand. Fun and cute knitting kits complete with patterns and supplies are available. A really fun day trip, it was a great discovery last summer!

Stopped in at this store during a recent visit to Toronto. It had the best window display - a circus of knitted and crocheted owls performing a high wire trapeze act. They had a small but solid selection of lovely yarns to tempt me. The staff was very helpful - she picked up quickly on my needs and guided me towards some great seamless sweater patterns. I signed up for their e-newsletter and was included in the mail out the very next day. It is now on my list of "must-visit's" for future trips to Toronto!

This place always have what I am looking for - this time it was Magnum Cascade in a broad selection of colours - but finding it is always the hardest part. As usual, it was a bit of a zoo, and I could not find staff to help me out so I had to search through the walls, aisles and towers of plastic bins to hunt down my specific yarn. I have an in-and-out approach to this store because it is so overwhelming. I usually spend more $ when I can comfortably browse, so I never make impulse purchases at this store - good for me, too bad for them.
