Couldn't possibly speak highly enough about Unwind. My favourite place in Newmarket and beyond…read more Everybody is lovely, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable and talented. Eager to help new and seasoned fibre artists alike. As a beginner I never felt out of place even amongst the very experienced knitters. Offer amazing and affordable classes as well as a huge range of high quality yarn ranging in price. Something for everyone! Affordable yarns that are still excellent quality as well as higher end yarns for special projects. Tons of cute notions, pins, as well as patterns and books. Really can't recommend Unwind enough. Support local, support small businesses! Learn a new hobby or reignite an old interest. You won't regret visiting Unwind!

The store itself is quite cozy with sofa, and Snb room. Lots…read moreof sunlight coming through the window, which is pretty good if you like SnB. However, she doesn't carry lots of yarn though. She has some Noro, very few Kauni, some Handmaiden Sea silk, some cotton/wool and sock yarn. Not so many pattern books neither. If I live in that area, I would rather go a bit further to Serenity Knits located in New Market. The Store lady in fact is quite nice, and friendly. and the price for the yarn is quite reasonable too. I remembered that she sells the seasilk for 34.00 CDN. which is so much cheaper than Romni. But, she only has very very few seasilk in stock.

The Wool Goddess is back! Margaret, the owner of Ewephoria, used to work in another yarn shop in…read moreAurora. Those in the know were very happy when she opened her own store. As with any new venture, it will take a little time to fully blossom, though she does have a good selection of high end yarns as well as more economical ones for those new to the art or who have limited budgets. The store is very warm and welcoming. She has a good selection of yarn, some of it sold for less than other stores in the area. And, unlike Serenity Knits, she doesn't charge for help with your knitting/crochet problems, no matter how many times you come in or how long you stay for help. And if she can't fix/solve your problem, it can't be fixed. As more knitters and crocheters discover this oasis in Oak Ridges, Margaret will be able to bring in more and different types of yarn.

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.

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)
