About Vancouver Yarn

Since 2008 Vancouver Yarn has been Vancouver's local textile directory. Vancouver BC is a DIY textile destination particularly in the fall when the Maiwa Symposium occurs, as well as the huge annual textile marketplace Knit City. The Vancouver area is also the home to many popular hand-dyed yarn companies and cherished knit and crochet designers.

Vancouver Yarn is founded and run by Janna Maria Vallee. I was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast of BC. I lived in Vancouver for 11 years, two of which were spent in the late Textile Art diploma program at Capilano University before moving to Montreal in 2010 to complete a 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, where I co-founded Everlea Textiles, I returned to BC with my family in 2016 and launched Everlea Yarn featuring Organic Merino and Canadian alpaca and wool yarn hand-dyed by me with natural dyes.
