I just happened to see this shop and stopped in while visiting Tatamagouche - great find!…read more The shop is in a gorgeous big building (looked like an old house) with a wrap around veranda. There are tables and chairs on the veranda so that you can sit out and knit or have a cup of tea while enjoying the breeze. While I was there a felting workshop being offered by a local artisan outside! Inside there were two big rooms full of yarn, patterns and cute little knitting accessories. (E.g. I got a cute small project bag to hold odds & ends.) At the back of one of the rooms is the cash and the counter to order tea. There is also a third room that had some tables and chairs as well as all of their needles and main knitting accessories. I think they might offer classes in that space too. The two ladies who were working while I was there were lovely and very helpful! They were happy to chat about some of the yarns that they were offering and asked if I had any specific needs. I was happy to see different local yarns available, including some from Give it a Whorl (Janine Guinan) from Truro! By the end of the day I had already recommended this place to two more crafters I ran into! This shop is definitely worth a visit! Drive up from Halifax and make a day of it!

We've shopped here thrice in recent years including a few weeks ago and have always found very…read moreattractive, well-made woolen products. This year we purchased a pair of hand-made wool sweaters, both really handsome in two different styles. The prices were about $200 Canadian, which we don't believe to be overly expensive given their high quality and durability (sweaters we purchased previously have held up well and still look almost like new). The shop also carries a lot of knitting skeins, which do appear on the pricey side, but we're told that similar supplies simply aren't in big supply anywhere on the island. We've chatted with the owner and found her delightful and knowledgeable about the origins of the wool in the shop. They also carry a number of other items including Scottish/Irish kilts, hats, shawls, capes, mittens, slippers and blankets. The shop seems to us a wonderful showcase for local artisans and knitters, and we look forward to many more return visits and sweater purchases.

The gentleman in the kilt also showed me their tartan store hidden away next door and helped me learn a little more about my clan and Scottish heritage! It is a wonderful store and I would recommend it to anyone visiting PEI and Charlottetown.

Unique gifts, most made locally from gorgeous bamboo cutting boards and serving trays to delicious preserves, mixed spices, and other foodie delights. Of course there are other wonderful things as well...jewelery, handmade clothing items...the list is endless and it's all so beautiful, you'd think you were in a gallery - not surprising, given the quality of these artisan treasures. No matter what your desire -or that perfect gift souvenir to bring back home to loved ones (you might end up keeping them all for yourself, they're so awesome).

We have been shopping at Owl's Hollow since 2010 and we continue to do so. The awesome staff and…read moreproduct selection, the ability to custom order, and the location make Owl's Hollow an extremely attractive shop. The store feels much larger than it is with its large inventory yet maintains the community closeness that is being lost by bigger outlets. We highly recommend Owl's Hollow. Fun staff, clean, convenient, and local--all wins!

I've loved stopping in to Owl's Hollow since I was a little kid visiting PEI! The variety of toys…read moremeans that there's something there for kids of all ages! I really love the wooden toys. When I was younger, I never noticed all of the yarn, but now that I'm a knitter, it was the main thing I wanted to see. The shop has a great selection of yarn and accessories (including cute anti-slip stickers for the bottoms of slippers & the biggest colour selection of Phentex I've seen) in the back corner. On top of the great products, there's a cute little coffee shop in the front. You can pay for your coffee shop order while you're paying for your products at the main cash. We did have to ask at the cash to make an order as no one was at that counter. It was no problem to quickly bring up a guy from another part of the store to pull a shot of espresso. This is a perfect shop for a crafter with kids! The kids can look around at toys while the crafter can stay in the yarn section. The staff are friendly and easy-to-talk to with the woman I spoke to on cash also being a crafter. There is lots of parking alongside the building and you can easily spot it on the main road into Charlottetown.
