Emily C. Gillies

We are so excited to introduce you to a relatively new independent yarn dyer, operating right here in Toronto, Ontario! As an experienced knitter, weaver, and artist, Emily has been a very active member of the Toronto crafting scene for some time, most notably as a key member of the team behind the Great Toronto Yarn Hop. And we were the first ones to carry her yarn!

Her foray into dyeing yarn has produced some of the most beautiful products we have seen in quite a long time, and we cannot wait to share them with you. Her Merino Sport, milled in Canada, is a perfect yarn for the myriad of popular medium-weight garment patterns available. It also makes a lovely warm and thick pair of socks, and excellent accessories!

Click here to see the full selection of what is in stock both online and in-store, and here are just a few teasers of some of her wonderful work:

We like a bit of cheeky loudness at YU, if you've been around us that will not surprise you. Neon Coral lives happily in the centre of the Venn diagram of Big Orange Energy and wearable colour. It works well with other loud shades, with cream, grey, black, navy and more.⁠

The new (to us) Mule Spinner 2-ply from @customwoo The new (to us) Mule Spinner 2-ply from @customwoolenmills has rapidly become a favourite of not just our Canadian yarns, but the whole selection.⁠
⁠
It's a true worsted weight with a little bit of texture and a very soft hand. And the colour range is very handsome! We have big plans for a couple of sweaters and have a hat already underway.⁠

It’s about time we got in this lovely yarn from It’s about time we got in this lovely yarn from @customwoolenmills. Operating out of Carstairs Alberta, Custom Woolen Mills Ltd. produces this Mule-Spinner 2-ply worsted weight wool from 100% Canadian Rambouillet wool. 

It feels just phenomenal. Warm, gently textured and tweedy, it’s exactly what you want in a wool. Well-suited to sweaters, blankets, accessories and anything else that needs to be warm and lightweight. 

At $13.50 per skein, it is not to be missed. We look forward to bringing in more from CWM! See this yarn on our online store via the link in our bio.
