more Manos in the colours you love, plus a couple of new shades this year too, and more cutie-patootie Minnowknits patterns!


Unfortunately, we can't carry everything (we wish we could) but if there's something you want let us know and we can special order it for you lickety split!

Fibre Philanthropy: Knitting for the Homeless

Every Wednesday night during the Stitch 'n Bitch we also host Fibre Philanthropy. People of all ages come and knit scarves, hats, mitts & socks to help Toronto's homeless survive the winter. All finished items are given to the Wychwood Open Door Drop-in Centre for distribution.

We contribute FREE instruction & patterns for these projects and the yarn is also free, donated by generous groups and individuals. All you need to do is bring a pair of needles (the bigger the better, around 9mm or 10mm are good) or you can pick up a reasonably priced set at the store.

So come on down! You can learn how to knit & make a difference!
