This is a small yarn shop specify for Japanese yarn and Patterns…read more The store lady is very nice (and pretty too) and she has lots of Japanese patterns books for you to take a look. If you like any pattern inside, she is willing to make a copy for you (and if you buy her yarn at the same time). I think she is pretty good in crocheting as she stocked up some (VERY FINE) crochet yarn with are very elegant and gorgeous. Although the shop is small, but it's always pretty crowded with knitters there. They sit there, chat, and knit. And the store lady is more than happy to teach how to read Japanese patterns as well. She sometimes have some sales on yarn , and she put them in the bins at the entrance. It's a good place to go, as she has new items for every season. I will say that the price is pretty high for the Japanese yarn, if you compare with the European ones, but, Japanese yarn is not cheap, and with their high quality , I think it worths. *the store moved to another location within the same mall. And the name changed to : The Barn (see attached picture)

This unassuming shop has been part of the plaza at the northeast corner of Weston Road and Steeles…read moreAve. W. for decades. You can see the store front from the roads if you're looking towards the plaza. The sign is done in a pretty font befitting its name. There's plenty of free parking. The lot is accessible from Steeles. The store looks deceptively small from the outside. It's long, and has a second floor. This specialty shop has just about anything you may require for all your sewing and thread craft needs. Not only will you find supplies, you will be able to avail yourself of the knowledge the owner and staff can share. In fact, they teach their own classes here. When we came in looking for a new pair of scissors, we enjoyed browsing the books, patterns, and accessories as well. We did find that it's a little more expensive for some things than going to the Fabricland up Weston Road, but we enjoyed the better atmosphere and the satisfaction of supporting a local business. If you don't want the sterile shopping experience of a chain like Fabricland, this place is for you. The inspiration and knowledge you will come away with from here instead make it worth repeat returns.

It's owned…read moreby lady named Connie who is extremely knowledgeable in knitting and crocheting the Japanese way. She once told me she went and studied in Japan for this!!! There are tons of pattern books to choose from and Connie will help you with any pattern using the yarn of your choice, based on your own knitting tension, so she can tailor anything to anyone! Although she has been in business for a very long time, she is always aware of the latest trends in knitting & crocheting. Knitting the Japanese way is really flexible, and the quality of the finished product is extremely good because of the special Japanese technique that goes into the craft! Connie also sells fine quality Japanese yarn (if you do something handmade, you need to use the best). Pieces that I have made in the past last a tremendously long time due to the quality of the yarn and endure years of frequent washing!! This place is truly a paradise to those who love to knit and those who have high standards on quality.
