Since 2008 the Guide to Vancouver Yarn has been Vancouver's online DIY textile directory.
There is a lot of fibre goodness to find in and around Vancouver British Columbia. Vancouver is a DIY textile destination, particularly in the fall when the Maiwa Symposium occurs, as well as the annual yarn marketplace Knit City. The Vancouver area is also home to many popular hand-dyed yarn companies and cherished knit and crochet designers.
Here's what else you'll find here:
I list all the yarn shops in Greater Vancouver and beyond, all of which have a VY page displaying info like a map, phone number, website and some of the yarn brands they carry.
The events page offers a list of reoccurring events as well as a link to recently blogged-about events.
The Canadian Yarn & Fabric page features indie dyers, mills, farm-specific, breed-specific and Canadian-made commercial yarn, as well as a small list of Canadian milled fabric.
The Commercial Yarn Online page lists online commercial yarn and fabric shops which are based in Canada, many of which are in BC.
There's so much more, just look under the Around Town tab.

Janna in her textile studio filming her tapestry weaving workshop for the School of SweetGeorgia.
Vancouver Yarn is founded and run by Janna Maria Vallee.
Hi, that's me pictured filming my tapestry weaving workshop for the School of SweetGeorgia.
I am a tapestry weaver, natural dyer, instructor and longtime knitter. I was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast of BC before living in Vancouver for over a decade, two years of which were spent in the late Textile Art diploma program at Capilano University. I then made the move to Montreal in 2010 to complete my Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Fibres and Material Practices program at Concordia University. After spending a few years based in the New York metropolitan area I returned to BC with my family in 2016. In 2018 I launched Everlea Yarn featuring organic merino hand-dyed by me with plant dyes.
