Lunch with the delightful Peggy and Nina, Dharma Trading Company and Atelier Yarns and I now have some one-off hand-dyed skeins of thick warm soft wool to knit Zoom hats with: where the colorway does the showing off and I don’t have to look at my hands while I read the captions.
The lady at Atelier noted that I had a straight line on my Bingo card and did I want to turn it in or try to fill the whole thing (meaning, by visiting all 25 shops on that card for the Crawl.)
I kinda laughed. No, thanks, it was fun but we’re done.
We drove home with me going, After thirty years of ordering dyes from them I finally finally finally got to see what Dharma is like! And I loved the place!

It sounds like a wonderfully fun day! I didn’t realize one can visit Dharma Trading – another bucket list item. I look forward to seeing those hats in progress.

(also I had NO IDEA that Dharma had a storefront. ooooh.)
Comment by KC 03.15.26 @ 8:30 amHow wonderful! And wow, 25 shops is so many. I wonder how many people manage all that during the crawl.
Comment by ccr in MA 03.15.26 @ 5:30 pmWhat a great yarn crawl indeed!
I do not think the city of Toronto has 25 yarn shops any longer. Maybe 30 years ago, or maybe if we include neighbouring cities in the “Greater Toronto Area”.
