Yarn Crawl Update

The date of the yarn crawl has shifted towards mid-May, possibly May 14 or 15.

We've also decided to split up the Yarn Crawl into Yarn Crawl South-North (Steveston - Wool & Wicker - the new Yaohan Centre addition - the big Michael's - Daiso - Birkland Brothers - Knit & Stitch Shoppe) and Yarn Crawl West-East (Urban Yarns - A Touch of Wool - Homecraft Importers - the Granville Island place - Dressew - Burnaby Knitworks - the Como Lake Store).

Considering yarn store schedules, we might have to further whittle our list, possibly to Yarn Crawl East (including Sun Bench Fibres, Penelope Fibres, and all the alpaca farms in the Fraser Valley, such as the Maple Lane Alpaca Farm which gives tours starting in May), Yarn Crawl South, Yarn Crawl Vancouver, and Yarn Crawl North (if there are other North Shore yarny places).

Also, does anyone know anything about Knitopia?

I hope everyone is hunting down those must-do patterns for the Crawl!
