Events and workshops are one of the unique features of our shop. We strive to provide regular events for the local knit and crochet community.
A yarn "tasting"
Yarn Tastings
We present regular themed “yarn tastings” which allow each participant to try out several different fibres while enjoying a food and drink pairing. These tastings are educational, providing detailed information about the construction and fibre content of each yarn, as well as its properties when knitted or crocheted. Participants then receive a discount on all of the yarn “tasted” during the event.
Workshops
fibre space puts together some of the area’s most unique workshops, featuring well-known designers, creative venues and exciting topics. We have hosted Wendy Johnson and Stephanie Japel at venues like the Morrison House and the Mansion on O Street. Save the date for:
