L K Yarns

This is the best yarn shop in Halifax. I’ve been acquainted with the owner since before she moved into the Hydrostone, and she’s always been pleasant to deal with. They carry a huge selection of needles and crochet hooks. Their wool selection is amazing. A variety of fibres and price ranges. Sometimes if I want something special they can order it for me and have in the past. They have a huge wall with Briggs and Little wool which is one of my favorites for knitting with wool on a budget. I’ve always been thrilled with purchases there.

LK Yarns is the best yarn store in Halifax that I have been to. They are stacked with yarns suitable for the most pretentious knitter or crocheter, yet they have stuff for the penny pinching acrylic loving cohort too. You can find anything from Fleece Artist to Briggs and Little to Patons here, from the Kate Middleton to the Beavis and Butthead of yarns.
The small building in the hydrostone lends itself beautifully to being cluttered with fibre, the prices aren’t bad, and it all comes with a generous helping of customer service and general know-​how. And they have needles too, of all kinds, and some really great buttons.

I have much more fun at LK Yarns than I do The Loop. They have a larger selection, more acrylic options (which is a four letter word for some knitters) and local yarns too. While they could use more non-​metal needle selection, they do have a wide range of notions.
Staff are friendly and knowledgeble, and can offer suggestions if you’re stuck picking a suitable yarn for a project. When shopping specifically for local yarn, I find they have a better and more reasonably priced selection than at The Loop. This is my preferred LYS in HRM for sure.

LK Yarns is a great knit shop!
It has every type and variety and brand of yarn one could ever imagine! It’s definitely not your typical yarn shop just on that instance alone. It’s got a great location down town across from a new Starbucks and it’s perfect for picking up some yarn grabbing some needles and going across the street for a coffee and curling up with knitting.

If you are ever looking for yarn then check at the Yarn Shop as you will find what you are looking for. Neatly stacked and sorted depending on what style and grad that you are looking for.
Sweaters are on display for ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Weaved baskets line the shelves which are hand made. This is a speciality shop and only really designed for those who are knitters.

L K Yarns is a dream come true. If you love Yarn, go here. Although I am not a knitter, I have knitted one sweater my whole life, it actually came out great. I did it as a gift for a BF I had, young, big mistake.
He actually took a wool sweater and through it in the wash, but then through it in the dryer. Do I need to explain anymore! Yes, it shrunk about two sizes smaller. So that was the last of my knitting ventures.
However, this place has everything, every colour and beautiful yarns. It almost tempted me to go back and give it another try.

This isn’t your typical (dare I say it) chi chi yarn shop. Don’t get me wrong, I fall hook, line and sinker for funky boutique shops with a purpose, but I must say, knitting does appear to be making an inordinate come back!
For this reason, I was impressed to pop into ‘L K Yarns’ yesterday. This is the yarn shop your Grandma probably goes to. Aisles of variety depending on the type of yarn you want to use. A pleasant sales lady greeted me as soon as I entered willing to fill my order asap. Places like this really make me want to take up knitting (again…).

As one of the only TWO knit shops in Halifax, LK Yarns is to The Loop as Grandma is to young adult grandchild. When I entered the store, I was kindly greeted and offered some assistance, but I decided to explore on my own. The rows upon rows of stacked displays (ok, maybe just three or four rows) overflowed with a well organized multitude of yarn. Most of it was natural fibre, some hand-​dyed, but all reasonably priced. The entire place was absolutely crammed full, making the Loop seem stark and empty by comparison.
Near the back of the store, I also found some small amounts of hand-​dyed roving, and beautiful handmade knitting needles with decorative tops. Maybe one day I’ll work up the courage to splurge on a pair of those!
