On November 14 & 15, we are hosting the inaugural Wooly Games, a two-day knitting competition organized by Knit Crew at Rosehaven Yarn Shop in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Six talented contestants will go head-to-head to see who can knit a shawl the fastest, with plenty of yarn, friendly competition, and knitting fun along the way!

Live broadcast on Rosehavenyarn YouTube channel from 8 am to 5pm Nov 14th, 9 am to 4 pm Nov 15th

But this event is about more than speed and stitches. We’re raising money for our local food bank to help support people in our community experiencing food insecurity. We want to bring knitters together for a fun event that gives back to those who need it most.

Fabulous yarn, fabulous judges!

We’re thrilled to have celebrity judges Kate Atherley and Fiona Ellis joining us for the competition! They’ll be watching the action, judging our contestants, and on Sunday, November 15, at 4:00 pm, they will select one of our six contestants as the winner!

The contestants will be knitting with yarn generously donated by some wonderful indie dyers and yarn companies: Julie Asselin, Sweet Georgia, Leo & Roxy, Firefly Haven Fibre, Honey & Pie, Herbals Naturally Dyed Yarns, and Dragon Strings. We’re so grateful for their support in helping make this event possible!

We’ll be sharing the Wooly Games on Rosehaven Yarn Shop’s YouTube channel on November 14 and 15, and we would be so grateful if you’d let your audience know about the event and encourage them to tune in, cheer on the contestants, and be part of the fun from wherever they are.

Do you want to join in the fun(draising!)?! All the proceeds from sales of the Mystery Shawl will go directly to supporting local food banks.

The finished shawl will be revealed Sunday, November 15th.
