Ever wonder about the journey your yarn took before reaching your needles, hook or loom? Or about where the wool in your winter sweater came from? The truth might surprise you. Follow the remarkable journey of a fibre most of us take for granted.
At a time when international trade is being reshaped and Canadians are rethinking where their goods come from, author Anna Hunter reveals a striking disconnect: 90% of Canadian wool leaves the country while 95% of yarn used by Canadian crafters is imported.
This timely investigation follows wool from sheep to skein, illuminating the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the Canadian wool industry.
Through engaging storytelling, she introduces passionate farmers, innovative mill owners, and resourceful entrepreneurs already building more localized, transparent wool systems.
Whether you’re a knitter, weaver, spinner, fashion enthusiast, or simply curious about where your textiles come from, this book will forever change how you see a ball of yarn. The True Cost of Wool isn’t just about understanding a complex supply chain—it’s about reimagining a future where what we wear connects us to land, community, and a more resilient textile economy.

I had a great time learning continental knitting with Nicole! She was patient, caring and took the time to work with every participant! I highly recommend her classes!

Nicole was awesome and ordered a couple of Dreamz needles sizes for me. Thank so much for the awesome service!!

I love these needles.

I am thoroughly enjoying the Learn to Knit Socks class. The instructor, Nicole, has a great deal of patience while teaching and explains things in an easy-to-understand manner. The class is fun, productive, and set at a good pace for those new to knitting socks.

This yarn is delightful and I need more!

So lovely to work with, so fluffy, I love the texture. It's making a very beautiful organic looking knit, with really pretty colour variation.

This is gorgeous yarn and the colour is perfect for my project.
