New Collingwood Business Spins Some Yarns

When was the last time you saw someone spinning wool?

On Saturday, October 10th, you can do just that as a dozen or so spinners create yarns like magic in a front porch demo during the Grand Opening of the Grey Heron Wool Shop located at 66 Pine Street in downtown Collingwood.

SheepIt was my pleasure to work with proprietor Karin Farmillo is relocating her business to this location a couple of months ago.  Karin is a dynamo full of positive energy and exciting ideas making her a very welcome addition to Collingwood’s business community.  Grey Herons is both a natural clothing store and an all-natural wool shop.  They carry gorgeous and unique clothing in size 12-24 as well as accessories such Amber jewellery,  hand-painted silk scarves, Irish wool walking socks, Danish felt slippers, and a Grey Heron hand knit accessory line.

The new wool shop feature has already proven to be a huge hit as knitting classes, clubs and knit cafes are filling up fast and her product lines are already in high demand.

The “Duelling Spinners” will work their craft all day on the 10th.  See you there.
