Planning on visiting the Vancouver area? Wondering where all the great yarn shops are? Well, look no further! I've compiled a list of yarn shops in the Greater Vancouver area and surrounding suburbs and will try to keep it updated as much as possible.

April 14/09 Listings Update for Burnaby/New West - Shan's Needleworks, New Westminster.

Sept 13/08 Listings Update for Coq/PoCo/PtMdy - Black Sheep Yarns, Port Moody.

This list may not be complete and may contain errors. If you know of a shop that isn't listed here, please let me know. I suggest contacting the store of your choosing to confirm their hours and location prior to visiting. I have listed shops by location to make it easier to find one in the area you plan on visiting.

Outside of Greater Vancouver you may need a car to reach yarn shops further afield. Average driving distance is anywhere from 35 to 90 minutes. Try Google Maps Canada or MapQuest for detailed driving directions.
