Hello again, Lovely Tatters!! I'm just puttering along with all these wonderful places that are coming to me out of the woodwork! I'm happy to keep adding to the list. Even just a little bit of supplies is better than nothing.
May I present to you "Aunt Debbie's Knit & Stitch Shop" located at #6-5016 Vedder Road in Chilliwack, BC. Because of the current pandemic, their operating hours are reduced, of course, but I think it would be a real treat to go visit the Fraser Valley's largest and oldest yarn shop. You just know you're going to find something special when they advertise things like that!
Does this not look like the most inviting little space?
Again, Aunt Debbie's might be a place that has predominantly catered to the knit and crochet crowd, but they acknowledge, as do a growing number of vendors and suppliers, that tatting is growing in popularity and people need to be able to access supplies!
In requesting her permission to add her shop's information to the blog here, the shop's namesake, Debbie Cote, did say that her suppliers were a bit slow lately with re-stocking. Given the current global situation, that's not terribly hard to understand. Everything is slowed down to nearly the speed of a rampaging sloth. It's better than a standstill, but it's still really slow. She also indicated she was going to put more pictures of what they offer for tatting supplies on the website, so be sure to check back there frequently!
Anyway, if you're looking for something specific, I might encourage you to give the shop a call at 604-824-7790 and ask directly for assistance and if they have a specific item in stock. Their site address is http://www.knit-and-stitch.ca/. Go have a look! There are a couple of things in their "Pictures" tab that I would really like to try for myself! So many projects, so little time... Story of my life.
Again, if you have any other resources for tatting stores in Canada, please let me know. I'd love to hear about any place that offers supplies, from thread to tools to beads and beyond. It all helps.
Until next time,
Happy Tatting!
