This local yarn store is one of my favourites! Perhaps because it's true that you never forget your first... And it was Stash that taught me to knit and crochet with patterns! Love the yarn selection here as well as the kits they provide for Calgary Folk Fest! I also love the fact that staff at Stash welcome each person that comes into the store, but aren't super clingy when you're there, allowing you to explore their varied yarn selections at a leisurely pace that fits your mood. Welcoming is definitely the vibe to this store whenever I visit it (which is often!).
