Spin A Yarn Kitchen Nightmares

In the early 1950’s, nestled in between the eucalyptus trees and rich farmlands of what is now Fremont, there came to be a friendly little place where local farmers and their families could meet and share their stories. They told about their families coming from the East and crossing the vast plains and towering Rocky Mountains. They shared lessons they had learned about growing abundant crops of corn and grain for which the area was known.

Over the years, this unique hideaway became known for its splendid food and even an occasional drop or two of cider. It also became known as the town meeting place, where one could listen to the “Old Timers” tell many stories about life in the Old West, Gold and Silver Mining in the Sierras, and the Wild and Wooly days on the Docks of San Francisco.

Since what is now Warm Springs Boulevard used to be the primary route between San Francisco and Santa Cruz, many out of town visitors made this a favorite rest stop during their journeys. It was a place to get a good meal, quench ones’ thirst, and tell a couple of stories. As time went by, it was only natural that this delightful town meeting place came to be known, as it still is today, as the “Spin-A-Yarn”.

Spin Me a Yarn is owned and operated by me, Treena Evans. I grew up in the north west of England where knitting was something that your grandmother did and as a little girl you watched the tea cosies flying off the needles and wore the cosy cardigans in a colour that only a grandmother could find. It took many hours and a combined effort from my dear Mum, patient Granny Games and tea-cosy-famous Granny Evans before I could finally get the hang of how to make two long needles and scraps of wool produce something that actually looked like knitting. My poor brother, two years my senior, became so frustrated at the time it was taking me to learn that he picked up a pair of needles, followed along and was actually knitting before I was!n

Once I got the hang of it, there was no stopping me. I still have my first doll, Rebecca, kitted out in the lemon-yellow trouser suit and bonnet that I crafted when I was around 8 years old, along with my first ever sweater I made myself at age 10. Who knew a black panda on a white mohair sweater would never really be in style? My Aran sweater that was lovingly knitted when I should have been revising for my u201cO Levelu201d Exams is still in my closet. That did come back into style recently.n

Over the years, crafting has been my comfort, my social base, my connection to home. While Iu2019ve dabbled in just about every craft you can think of, knitting has been my mainstay. Iu2019ve knitted for more babies than I can count. For many kids an annual hand-knit at Christmas was a part of their growing up. I have several photo albums filled with wonderful pictures of most of the items I have knitted being modeled by the babies and toddlers and some into early teens u2013 a snapshot of them growing up through the years and wearing something lovingly knitted for them.n

The gem of an idea to open my own store goes back over 20 years, something I wanted to do in retirement. Then I met Bob and moved to Etobicoke, where there was not a LYS, and the project was moved forward (by many years!) to fill that missing piece in the community.n

I wanted to create a space where people could not only shop for yarn and patterns and hooks and needles, but where they could stay a while; enjoy a cuppa and share ideas and show off their projects. It took a while to find the perfect location and with an adjoining door to The Big Guys Little Coffee Shop, Spin Me A Yarn found itu2019s home.n

Spin Me a Yarn opened it’s doors in September 2017 with the intention of providing a local yarn store and to create a crafting community neighbourhood. We offer a social space for crafters to knit and crochet; a place for people to learn new skills and for people to gather to share their projects.n

We have a wide range of Indy dyed yarns from local dyers and we focus on bringing in new yarns every month with Trunk Shows to highlight the talent within our area. Indy yarns will be available on-line following each Trunk Show.n
