Knitted Knockers!

October is breast cancer awareness month. To support survivors we are now a drop station for knitted knockers. These are soft prosthetics made from Cascade Ultra Pima cotton. Knitted using a free, easy pattern that is available in store. We will be offering all yarns for these projects at 15% off for the month of October. They can be made in any colour as you can see in the photos above. October 19th will be Knocker Day. A demo will be given at each sit & knit session and the pattern will be discussed for new knocker knitters. (No stuffing required. We submit them to Knitted Knockers of Canada for you in a flat format)
Let’s make some knockers!

As an added feature, for the month of October, all pink yarns (of all varieties) will be 10% off

The 10 Weeks of Christmas continues.

You will receive your e-mail at the start of each week. Please call in to the store to reserve your items & complete your transaction.
