I work at a fabulous little yarn shop nestled in the Gaspereau Valley in Nova Scotia called Gaspereau Valley Fibres. It is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon poking through all the beautiful yarns and fibers and feasting your eyes on the incredible array of colors. As a customer, you can come in, be greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff and leave confident that you have exactly what you wanted for that sweater you’ve been dreaming about.. And mostly likely you’ll also take home a skein or two that you just had to have!
As staff, it’s a little more challenging! We feast our eyes, pet our favorite yarns every day, and try to take home a paycheque at the end of the week. We are tempted on a daily basis to try new yarns, new accessories, and of course new handcrafts. Enter weaving.
