Who said Raffia is only for summer? 🌿

Yes, we love it for summer hats — but there’s so much more you can make with it.

Bags, baskets, home décor, accessories… and yes, Halloween is just around the corner. 🎃

Just look at these colours — anyone else thinking about cute little Raffia pumpkins? Because I definitely am. 😄

Light, structured, and beautifully textured, Raffia is such a fun material to experiment with.

And with so many colours available, maybe the hardest part is simply choosing your combination.

We have a beautiful selection of Ispie Raffia available at Ellyn Yarn — from bright shades to gorgeous neutrals (and some very pumpkin-friendly colours 😉).

Check out the full colour selection on our website. ❤️

Finally — our tatting shuttles are here! 🎉🧵
And that means we now have everything you need to give tatting a try at Ellyn Yarn.
These are simple, basic shuttles. No fancy features and no big investment — exactly what you need if you’ve been looking at tatting and thinking, “Maybe I should try this…” 😊
Choose a shuttle, choose your favourite colour of Arianna Vega, and you’re ready to start.
And yes, I’ll say it again: after learning and practising tatting myself, Arianna Vega is still the best tatting thread I’ve tried. ❤️
Tatting shuttles and Arianna Vega thread in sizes 20 & 40 are available now at Ellyn Yarn.
So if tatting has been on your “one day I’ll try it” list…
maybe this is your sign. 😉

Skill and practice matter, of course. But so does the thread. 🧵
The more I learn tatting, the more I realize how much the quality of the thread affects the process — and the final result.
And now I can say it with confidence: Arianna Vega can make all the difference in your tatting lace. ❤️
For this project, I’m using two beautiful shades:
103 — Warm White
722 — Taupe
Arianna Vega is available at Ellyn Yarn in sizes 20 and 40, with lots of beautiful colours to choose from.
Find the full selection on our website.

Just ONE ball 🧶🍂
That’s all you need to make a beautiful lightweight shawl like this one with our Bourette Silk. It’s soft, comfortable against the skin and not itchy — perfect for those cooler fall days when you want just a little something around your shoulders.
And choosing a colour might be the hardest part… 😄 We have so many beautiful shades available.
1 ball = 1 shawl😉
A simple little fall project that also makes a beautiful gift ❤️

🧶 Knitting & Crochet Classes for Kids in Calgary

Looking for a creative activity for your child?

I offer fun and relaxed knitting and crochet lessons for kids, from complete beginners to children who already know the basics and would like to learn more.

During the lessons, kids can:
✨ Learn knitting or crochet step by step
✨ Work on fun, age-appropriate projects
✨ Learn how to read simple patterns
✨ Make toys, accessories and other projects they can be proud of
✨ Build confidence and develop their skills at their own pace

Classes can be private or for two children together, and each lesson is adapted to the child's age, experience and interests.

📍 Calgary
Lessons can take place at my home, at your home, or at a café/community space by arrangement.

No previous experience is necessary — we can start completely from scratch.

If your child already has a project they are struggling with, I can help with that too.
