WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING
A Letter to the Customers
Hey everyone,
It’s time once again to celebrate LOCAL YARN STORE DAY. This day was first celebrated in 2018 as a way to highlight the unique role that independently owned yarn shops play in their community. Wool-Tyme is honoured to have been a part of the yarn/fibre community in Ottawa for over 40 years. Our staff is always excited to see new and returning crafters working on or planning their next project. On April 26, we invite you to join us in celebrating the creativity and community of local yarn shops. As a thank you for being a part of our community, you will have the opportunity to draw a 10-30% off coupon applied to your purchase on that day (in-store only).
We can’t wait to see you there!
Need some inspiration for your next project? These pattern books are the perfect thing! Based on traditional Newfoundland Knitting Patterns, this book series has some beautiful designs to offer. From mittens to socks to teapot covers, these books have something for everyone. |
