This is one of my favorite knit shops - because it's more than just a knit shop. They have a good…read moreselection of natural fibre yarn (even some hand-dyed stuff), as well as batts of fibre. They offer classes in knitting, felting, weaving, and spinning, and sell everything you need to do these things. I tried the weaving classes, and it was lots of fun (if you're into that kind of thing). I also like how the products they sell range from affordable to high quality: you can get the plastic needles or the hand carved bamboo. They card their own batts of wool in the back on a huge 100-year old carding machine, which you can buy in giant batts.

I'm not super (or even medium) familiar with wool. I guess I would be considered a newbie when it…read morecomes to wool and wool accessories, so I cannot say, by any means, that I'm an expert on wool in Vancouver (I don't mind not being able to say this) I'm actually really surprised/pleased this place has even been reviewed three times! I've recently gotten into felting and was recommended Birkeland. The staff (which I know is a pretty regular rotation of 2 people) were pretty shy but relatively friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of colours and types of wool, that you can buy by weight, as well as felting kits. There was also a large dog sleeping on the floor which I appreciated.

This is a fairly large store a diverse selection of crafts & decor. It is always clean and usually…read morestocked well. Most things are overpriced but with their coupons (easily available on their app),they become 'normally' priced. Staffing is alway a bit minimal- not many on the floor and usually need a few more on cash. The fabric section has a lot of licensed prints (ie. Harry Potter, Disney..) BUT.... beware of buying fabric here. Fabric should be cut on the grain -especially for prints and the last time I purchased here the fabric was cut at a terrible angle. I bought & paid for 1.5 meters but in actuality I got 9 cm short. My pattern required a lot of shifting to get it to fit and my daughter's pyjama pants became pj shorts. Not impressed as stores are usually meticulous about cutting accurately and even allowing extra for shrinking.

I was impressed by the vast selections of stretched canvas, canvas panel, wooden panel and cradled canvas. There is even a framing department located in the rear of the store.

We bought an tube of plastic paint. Started to use it and noticed the seal at the bottom was not…read moresealed and was leaking. My wife brought it back in there today asking for a refund or replacement. She got a frustrating response: "What are we supposed to do with it? We can't resell a defective product. It's used! " The employee checked with a peer and no way was the consensus. We were left thinking: Oh yeah right, we love coming all the way in to return defective products. It is sooooo fun...not! Jeeepers Creepers! My wife took it home and weighed the product and it was still 95% of weight on the tube. I have updated the review from a 1 star to a 3. We sent an email in via their web site to explain our experience. Within a day we got an email response and another came a couple of days later to appologize for the frustation. The email response was fantastic and they seem quite sincere about being appologetic for our experience. We would give the head office's response a 5 star. As an organization, Opus is great. They are sending us a replacement tube in the mail. Doesn't cover the time and fuel for the round trip (10+ km) but this isn't going to break the bank for us. The 3 star is for the original experience. Not fun having to spend all this time to get a new tube of paint replaced. We will likely try to frequent a different Opus location whenever possible.

They make their own pockets and folding cards which are like envelopments but better (and cheaper) and they have more envelope mixing and matching options too. Make sure you order well in advance if you need a volume of something for your wedding as many things are made to order. I also like the vibe here, they definitely aren't an in-your-face tulle filled wedding store. (Low gag-factor).
