But three storeys of pure knitting awesome makes up for any discrepancies, and prices are much more reasonable than other wool shops around town. You can find just about any type of knitting and weaving material here, as well as all the extras. It's a great place for knitting newbs, too.

The top two stories also house independent small businesses, so definitely check those out. I loved the large selection of labradorite pieces - I ended up getting a small necklace and a beautiful, glowing, blue pendant. The pieces were reasonably priced, and I love having a locally-sourced souvenir!

But here one can find handcrafted items with a St. John's theme, such as slate coasters, sun catches, wine stoppers and even switchplate covers.

There is also a selection of former independent Newfoundland postage stamps for stamp collectors. The shop is about one block up and two over from the cruise terminal.

Easily, the best in St. John's with a stunning collection of diverse items - and far beyond the oversold tropes of jelly bean houses (which few Newfoundlanders have ever owned or lived in), whales, and puffins. Oils, works on paper, sketches, large-scale photography, sculpture. Something for everyone, ranging from around $1,000 up to $15,000, which I think was the priciest one we saw. Don't miss this, and stay tuned to their website.
