WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING

A Letter to the Customers: Store Updates

Hey Wool-Tyme Friends,

Notice anything new? We are so excited to debut our new website and logo! This past year has been such a fulfilling one, full of new challenges and lots of learning. To commemorate this new chapter at Wool-Tyme, a new logo and website update felt like a great next step.

The design was created very thoughtfully and carefully, and we hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do! We take a lot of pride in being Canada's largest yarn store, and we wanted to express that right front and center for all to see.

Part of this rebrand includes an updated website, and new pictures to match. We could not be happier with how they turned out!

We are so thankful for all of you and your continued support during this transition. It has been such a pleasure getting to know you and seeing the beautiful projects you make with Wool-Tyme products. We can't wait to see what the coming years have in store for all those of us who care very deeply about this place!

Remember: When in doubt, knit it out!

- Diana
