 Come meet, mingle, and learn with other fibre art enthusiasts during a series of workshops led by local and visiting instructors. Nestled in cozy, ocean-side rooms on the beautiful west coast, you will have the chance to learn how to knit lace, add beads to your knitting, do tiny stitches, weave with cedar, and learn about the design process and techniques used to create brick stitch fringe earrings. Stretch your legs and experience coastal rainforests with a local naturalist while taking in spectacular views from the Wild Pacific Trail, explore products from local vendors, and still have your own time to explore the region further or relax by the ocean.
The retreat is now in its sixth year! You can read about our 2021 retreat here (https://www.westcoastnest.org/stories/west-coast-knitting-retreat-2021) or watch a video from our second retreat back in 2019 on our Youtube channel here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjeO8E7yYgI).

I'd excited to share my newest retailer Sarah Elizabeth Fibreworks in Rossland, BC! Sarah Elizabeth and I met on the fibre market networks of BC around 2017 where she and I were both dyers and artists selling our handmade wares.
Since then we have enjoyed seeing each other each year at marketplaces like Fibres West and Knit City. In 2019 Sarah opened storefront in Rossland British Columbia where sells beautiful fibre art supplies as well as holds regular classes for her community. I'm beyond excited to have both my Everlea Mini Loom Kits and Everlea Tapestry Loom Kits for sale at Sarah Elizabeth Fibreworks' shop. Rossland folk, go snag one for yourself! Sarah Elizabeth Fibreworks is located at 2002 Washington St, Rossland, BC Interested in being a retailer? Email me at [email protected]

About the Everlea Guide to Vancouver Yarn Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor, maker and natural dyer at Everlea Looms. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program. In 2008 I created Vancouver Yarn 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. It soon grew to include all the places you can shop for yarny things online in Canada. Do you have an event you'd like me to post? Simply email me at janna (at) everleayarn.ca Thank you, Janna
