Location
The studio is designed for the ‘everyday’ crocheter and knitter at heart. Most of the studio presentation uses everyday yarns which remains true to our love of yarn. Some products shown in The Crochet Crowd tutorials may be on display for viewing in person.
We may have some items for sale that are over-stock or things from our regular business of The Crochet Crowd. It’s open at select times. In the future, we may have experts visit host workshop settings for a nominal fee for the course and workshop supplies. Stay tuned.
Other Local Stores to Get Yarn
We have four locations of yarn stores. For those who love independent brands, higher-end yarns and hand-dyed spun and more. Wool’n Tart downtown Wolfville and Gaspereau Valley Fibres are your places to shop. Wool’n Tart is within about 5 minutes from our location to the east. Gaspereau Valley is about 15 minutes away to the east. Both locations are the same owner. Community-focused with in-house gatherings as select times. Exquisite yarn and even some yarns that are made with their own fibres.
For Wolfville, a leisurely stroll along the historical and artisan feel street. For Gaspereau Valley Fibres, a destination location with the livestock onsite in their very tastefully decorated farm store. Immerse yourself in creativity.
Michaels Stores is also located within 5 minutes to the west in New Minas, Nova Scotia. Large yarn section to make all your yarn wishes come true. Focused on ‘everyday’ yarns with big brand names to select from. There is also a local Walmart in New Minas about 10 minutes away to the west.
Within our region, we have the best of both worlds of yarn desires. From the luxurious to the everyday. You have choices to select within your budget.
Local Group Meet-Up
The Crochet Crowd’s local group is called the Loosey Goosey Stitchers of Nova Scotia. Playfully named as the Canadian Goose is part of us being Canadian. We are also casual so we are just hanging loose, sort of speak.
Meetups are scheduled as part of the open times. We have a private Loosey Goosey Stitchers Group on Facebook that is only for those who are planning to attend or are attending our stitch meet up. Local announcements and communications between members with show’n tell and more happen in this group. We are requesting anyone who is requesting to join the group at least attend the group so the group remains true to the participants in the group.
