⚓ Welcome Aboard
Based along the shores of Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada, The Wool Pirate is an online yarn store for knitters, crocheters, and fibre enthusiasts of all levels.
We specialize in DK-weight yarns and natural fibres, with every skein hand-selected by me. Whether you’re making your first dishcloth or casting on your hundredth sweater, you’ll find quality yarns and thoughtful tools to support your creativity.
Before launching this ship, I spent my career as an accountant—structured, analytical, and not especially creative. But fibre arts had always been in the background, ever since my mom taught me to crochet in high school. Years later, a visit to a small fibre mill on a trip to Prince Edward Island reignited that spark. I came home, picked up my hook (and then needles), and never looked back.
The Wool Pirate grew from a simple desire: to curate the very best yarns and tools in one place for other makers who care about quality, sustainability, and that wonderful feeling of starting something new.
Our mission is to bring you the best yarns from around the world—while supporting ethical production, beautiful design, and that spark of joy when you start something new.
Thanks for being here.
🧶 I’m so glad you’re aboard.
