Okay, so I stand corrected.
There is another yarn store in the downtown(ish) area: The Purple Purl, over on Queen Street East. It’s probably just as far from me as going to Lettuce Knit in Kensington Market, but I passed it recently on a streetcar and in a quick glance, it looks like a great place to shop or even just hang out. Nice and spacious, full of crafty bits. It looks almost like a Loomis and Toles, but with yarn everywhere. I’d like to go visit sometime soon. I just need a new project in mind. Hmm, what can I make? :)
