The Itty Bitty Yarn Co. Hi I’m Karen. I am the owner of The Itty Bitty Yarn Co. I hope you’ll stop in and say hi. Don't know how to knit or crochet, or its been a while? Don't fret.

My favourite things to do, is to launch others into the world of knit and crochet, in a relaxed, patient and fun environment. What started out as a small Mississauga based shop, that moved to private lessons in my basement, after moving to Listowel, has evolved once again, into a brick and mortar location. Located in Mitchell, ON, and measuring in at just over 200sqft, the shop is aptly named The Itty Bitty Yarn Co. As a proud Canadian, the goal is to source inventory from Canadian-based, indie dyers, and support their small businesses. Our inventory is made up, primarily of high quality, unique, finger-weight yarns, which can be used to create one of a kind socks, shawls, hats, etc. By pairing with a complimentary solid yarn, thus increasing the gauge, the possibilities are endless. One-on-one classes are available, for those 10 to 100+. Looking for something to do? Grab your knitting or crocheting project, and come visit. Coffee is always on. Watch this page, for additional activities being offered.

Our community crafting Poppy Project has wrapped up for another year, and it’s time to turn our attention to handmade hats and scarves for the colder months.

Over the past two years, more than 200 handmade pieces have been shared with people in need in our community. They’ve been hung on the shop door for anyone who needed one, placed in OPP vehicles, and donated to the youth centre, high school and local food banks. The remaining pieces from last winter have now been passed along to the West Perth Garden Coat Drive.

We’re now accepting donations of acrylic yarn, which is easier to care for and wash. Do you have yarn left over from a finished project, a project you’ve set aside, or an old knit sweater you’re ready to part with? Donations can be dropped off at the shop during business hours.

Are you a fibre crafter looking for a quick project? Pop in and choose supplies from our donation basket, then bring back a handmade hat or scarf to help keep someone in our community warm. Follow along and watch as yarn donations start arriving and then, as our collection grows!

We’ll also continue our monthly community crafting sessions, making items for Project Warmth. More details about upcoming sessions will be shared soon.

In year one, we passed on 90 pieces. In year two, 112 pieces, including 40 blankets, we distributed. What should our goal be this year? 125?

Thank you to everyone who has donated, crafted and helped share the warmth!
