Soper Creek Yarn – Where Beautiful Projects Begin

The shop features a varied collection of fine yarn, great tools and unique gifts that are practical, eco-friendly, and community supportive.

Shop History

Soper Creek Yarn opened its original location, in Historic Downtown Bowmanville, in December 2008.

 In 2013, we expanded the shop to include the space next door; we enjoyed the extra space filling both sides of the shop with beautiful yarn, notions, patterns and gifts. In 2019, after completing a 10-year plan and due to increasing costs, it was time to shift the shop into a smaller space. We downsized to the more accessible space while maintaining the integrity of the shop’s original vision and began searching for a new location. In October 2019, we moved to our beautiful building in Orono!

It’s now 2024, after 15 years of business we decided to switch gears, we emptied the Orono store and moved all the inventory on to this online store.

We hope to continue to offer beautiful yarn, great notions and good advice.

Our Mission

Beautiful projects begin with great yarn and the best notions.

Soper Creek Yarn has always offered an amazing selection of yarn, needles and notions. This online version of our shop will be the place you will go to when you are beginning a new project. We can offer suggestions for yarn weight and fibre as well as colour suggestions. An online shop does not have to be an anonymous transaction, it can be a place to ask questions and find good options. Contact us via email or we can even set up a phone consultation!

Finding the right yarn for a pattern always makes your project a success.

Shopping online can be a friendly place to visit and trust?

This was taken on the last official day in Orono! It was a great day as we were able to connect with so many of you!

I will miss the personal connections that made this a difficult decision, after careful consideration I came to the conclusion that although this is an online platform it doesn’t have to be anonymous.
