A River of Yarn was created from a lifelong love of fibre, colour, and the joy of making. Founded by Tracy Minnema, the shop began as a way to bring thoughtfully curated yarns and tools to makers who appreciate quality and creativity.

What started as a personal passion has grown into a vibrant space where knitters and crocheters can find inspiration, support, and yarns that spark imagination. Tracy’s dedication to community, education, and fibre artistry is woven into every aspect of the shop—from the brands she selects to the kits she designs.

At A River of Yarn, we believe in the beauty of handmade. Whether you're knitting your first scarf or casting on a heirloom sweater, we’re here to help you choose the right materials, learn new skills, and enjoy every stitch along the way.

Welcome to our river—may it lead you to creativity, connection, and endless possibilities.

Our boutique is also located on one of Canada's’ National Historic Sites, the Trent Severn Waterway.
