In June 1, 2013 the doors opened for the first time
realizing my dream of Alliston Yarns!
We have hundreds of colourful yarns, buttons,
books, patterns, needles, indeed all the accessories needed to work with yarns
adorn the walls and shelving of this adorable nook.
Hand knit and crochet shawls, blankets, sweaters,
dresses and doll clothing cover the walls. The shelves are topped with
many gifts ideas including stuffed animals, wooden toys and home-made
accessories. Five hat racks are kept filled with baby hats/bonnets, youth
and character hats.
Our highly qualified staff have crochet, knitting
and finishing classes available as well.
We are open 6 days a week.
Our philosophy has been to somehow
give back to the community.
This is why we started a program called "
Head to Toes" and Alliston Yarns in the Headquarters of this Alliston
charity.
What is "Head To Toes"
Many people have unwanted yarns, crochet cotton,
needles and crochet hooks. They are encouraged to drop them off to the
store where they are picked up by caring people who manufacture items with
these and then return the items to the store to be donated to Family Christmas
Basket in the Alliston area .
In 2014 over 750 beautiful handmade items were donated to the Alliston Lions Club as well as
8 other chritable organizations with the best wishes from the general public.
We anticipate that every year going forward will be
bigger and better and appreciated all the hjelp we receive.
