wool euphoria

There's a little place in Ottawa that makes me fibre-happy.

It's chock full of roving, and spun wool, and felt, embroidery and dyeing materials, and much, much more. And there are fantastic classes happening here all the time.

Having a fantastic store like Wabi Sabi is no small feat for Ottawa. Despite being Canada's capital city, it's really a very big town, largely populated by those involved in two major lines of industry - high tech and government with a small 'g'. (Funnily enough, I used to work in the latter, and my Mister Mister works in the former). So Ottawa is not, you see, a very edgy, progressive place, though it attracts people who want to live in a more green city, somewhere full of nature where cars are not necessary and very close to a huge provincial park.

All that to say that I really appreciate Wabi Sabi. I'm so glad it's here, and I hope it stays around for a long, long time.

Do you have a place like this near where you live? If so, please leave the info in the comments, so we can all have a look. Thanks!
