There's a new fun initiative to make fibre art more accessible in Vancouver, in form of Fibre Libraries. Fibre Libraries are pop-up cubbies made by community members in collaboration with Baaad Anna's. They contain yarn, fibre and other textile surprises. Anyone is welcome to take something or leave something. Make your own Fibre Library if you're so inspired! Check out the map below to see where the first cubbies are appearing. 5/26/2021 0 Comments Tiny Tapestries with Janna Maria Join Janna Maria online for Tiny Tapestries! |
 | Janna Maria first learned how to weave tapestry in 2008 during a two-year technical textile diploma program at Capilano University. She continued her studies in tapestry and natural dyeing while finishing her Fibres and Materials Practices degree at Concordia University, and in 2014 committed to weaving full time. Her subject matter is relationship and place-based, and her materials are consciously sourced wool Everlea Yarn which she dyes herself with plants. |

Welcome to the Vancouver Yarn blog! This space exists to celebrate and spread the word about all events, new local patterns, products and businesses.
Submit the details of an event or new locally designed knitting/crochet pattern, or other local DIY news and I'll post about it here. Thank you! ~Janna
Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor and natural dyer at Everlea Yarn, and the tapestry instructor at The School of SweetGeorgia. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program.
I created Vancouver Yarn in 2008 as a space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events, pattern releases as well as share Community Highlights.
Do you have an event, KAL, yarn or pattern release, launch or other thing you want us to post? Just fill out the form at the top of this page, or send your press release to me at
janna (at) vancouveryarn.com
