What is your inclusivity policy?

Vancouver Yarn is an inclusive space - everyone is welcome to be included in our resource lists regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age or ability. However, if it is found that someone has engaged in racism, bigotry or similar harmful, exclusive behaviour their information will be removed from Vancouver Yarn.

How can I find the yarn I'm looking for?

Using the search bar on the top right corner of the website you can enter the brand of the item you're looking for. We've created a VY Page for each local yarn shop which includes a list the yarn brands they carry. Our search engine will narrow down the shops for you according to the brand you've specified. At the search results page chose 'Pages' (on the left) to exclude blog posts from the search results.

I filled out a form on Vancouver Yarn but my information is still not appearing on the website. What do I do next?

I try to update new information once a month, and often sometimes have the opportunity to add new info as I receive it in my inbox.  I have recently (Jan 2019) received a lot of empty form entries, which leads me to believe there was a glitch and some info didn't get entered and/or delivered to me. If you don't see your information on the website within one month of you entering it be sure to try again, or email me at janna(at)vancouveryarn.com for a prompt response. 

For events which are approaching quickly be sure to email me at janna(at)vancouveryarn.com so I can add it to the calendar asap.
