Just over 38 million Canadians live in Canada, which is less than the population of the state of California in the USA. Over 90% of us live within 150 miles of the USA border. Our retail market is very different than the United States, with many of us in locations. Back where I lived in...

Last Chance: Red Heart Sassy Fabric Yarn + Tutorials
There are only two colours left, and the pink one is really beautiful and possibly good for Cancer Awareness in October.

Is This Yarn Still Being Made?
Knowing if a yarn is being made is a million-dollar question. You cannot rely on retailers to be helpful in this area, as many retailers, including Michaels, JOANN, and Walmart, tend to discontinue a brand without discontinuing the brand itself. They tend to change the yarns out and sometimes replace them with their private labels....

Clearance: Bernat Blanket O'Go Yarn
Bernat Blanket Ogo is the same size as Bernat Blanket yarns that are out there. Yarnspirations also take a considerable risk to appease crocheters and knitters by wrapping the yarn differently so that we can start without digging into the centre of a skein to find the end. This change required Yarnspirations to update its...

Red Heart Treasure yarn was originally under Red Heart Boutique when I was with Red Heart in 2013 and 2014.
