ABOUT US
I OPENED UPTOWNYARNS IN FEBRUARY OF 2000 , WITH AN EARNEST DESIRE TO NURTURE THE ART OF
KNITTING. IT IS A CRAFT THAT HAS SINCE A VERY EARLY AGE BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE , AND ONE THAT I
HAVE BEEN HONOURED TO SEE TAKE HOLD IN THE LIVES OF MY CUSTOMERS AND PROVIDE THEM WITH
JOYS , CHALLENGES , AND KNITWEAR ! WE ALL HAVE FUN AT UPTOWNYARNS , AND I HOPE THAT YOU ,
TOO , CAN ENJOY THE THERAPEUTIC AND GRATIFYING BENEFITS OF THIS AGE OLD HOBBY . THE SHOP IS
LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN COURTENAY , B.C , AND IS AN " UN-YARN SHOP" , IN THAT WE PRIDE OURSELVES
ON BEING UNLIKE THE MAINSTREAM EXAMPLE . WE TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES AND TRENDS , AS
WELL AS CARRY THE CLASSIC GOODS ! AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT CAN'T VISIT THE SHOP , I OFFER
YOU UPTOWNYARNS.COM , AND THE CHANCE TO VIRTUALLY ENJOY OUR WARES. TOO BAD YOU CAN'T
STOP IN FOR A COFFEE , THOUGH. I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN PERSON SOON ! CREATE. LOVE. GIVE .
UPTOWNYARNS .
