Hi friends, are you looking forward to summer? It's only a couple of weeks away!

After my trunk show at 88 Stitches last month (above) Sue became my first Everlea Yarn retailer! I am beyond thrilled. If online shopping is not your forte and you want to see these lovely naturally dyed colourways in person, 88 Stitches in Langley is the place to go for a variety of colourways in our Organic Merino Sport base.

I'll have a booth at Fibrations in Victoria on August 18th and then I'll be at Knit City again in October. So, it's going to be a busy summer of dyeing for me here on the Sunshine Coast.

    About the Everlea Guide to Vancouver Yarn

    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 above or send your press release to me at
     janna (at) vancouveryarn.com 

    ​Thank you,
    ​Janna
