  • What I would like to see here is Canadian sourced yarn.

    Canadian spun yarn from Canadian sourced fibres do exist but are harder to find.

    There are also many small Canadian dyers but unfortunately many are buying imported merino yarn that is not ethically sourced.

    There are lots of great yarn stores across Canada selling lovely imported yarns as this one is. Especially when this stores’ promoted partners, such as Pacific Yarns, are based in the USA.

    I’m sincerely not sure what promoting them does for buying Canadian. I don’t see a focus on promoting Canadian yarn on their main page and the brands listed aren’t specifically Canadian.

    Spinrite used to be a Canadian yarn maker but it’s more complicated now, and many of their yarns are available at big box stores.
