🧶✨ Ontario-Made Tools for Knitters & Crocheters! ✨🧶

By The Yhard is heading to 🧶 Knit City Toronto this March, and we’re bringing along a large, well-stocked selection of kollage SQUARE tools for both knitters and crocheters!

We’re proud to be a select retailer of kollage SQUARE, a brand made right here in Ontario and known for its thoughtfully designed, high-quality tools.

At our booth you’ll find:
🧵 Fixed circular needles
🧵 Interchangeable tips & cables
🧵 Double-pointed needles
🧵 Crochet hooks
🧵 Starter and full needle/hook sets
🧵 Helpful knitting & crochet accessories

The signature square needle design is loved by makers for promoting a more relaxed grip, more consistent tension, and reduced hand fatigue—perfect for those long, cozy crafting sessions. All these benefits plus every purchase supports inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

You’ll also find a selection of handmade By The Yhard yarn bags, perfect for keeping your projects organized on the go.

📍 Knit City Toronto
📅 March 27–29
📌 Enercare Centre – Hall D

Stop by our booth to explore Ontario-made kollage SQUARE tools in person, try them out, and chat all things yarn and fibre. We can’t wait to see you there!

✨ Why Handmade Matters 💛 ✨

There’s something powerful about choosing handmade — especially when it’s made right here in Canada.

I’ve just published a new blog post for By The Yhard in Frankford, ON all about Why Handmade Matters: Supporting Canadian Makers

It’s a topic that’s very close to my heart — from hand-knit Canadian wool mittens to longarm quilting for clients, every stitch represents time, care, and community. When you support a Canadian maker, you’re doing more than shopping… you’re investing in people, skills, and small-town businesses.

If you believe in:
🧵 Quality over quantity
🧶 Supporting local families
💛 Preserving traditional skills
🍁 Strengthening Canadian communities

… this one’s for you.

Head over to the blog and have a read — I’d love to hear your thoughts. 💬

Thank you for continuing to support handmade and small business. It truly means the world. 💛

🌷🧵 Longarm Update from By The Yhard – Frankford, ON 🧵🌷

Wow… you’ve kept me hopping! 💕

I am officially fully booked for longarming in March — thank you all so much for keeping my frame busy! Between your beautiful quilts and a couple of multi-day events, March filled up quickly.

Because of that, there will not be a March Panto of the Month.

✨ The good news? ✨
April’s Panto of the Month has now been posted on the website!

If you’ve been waiting to get your quilt finished, now is the time to secure your April appointment. Spots are already starting to fill, and I’d love to get your quilt on the frame.

As always, I have dozens of pantographs available to suit every style — whether you choose the featured April design or something from my full collection.

🏡 Tasha’s Tiny Store is the physical shop — a cozy creative space where you can shop in person and place orders. You’ll find thoughtfully chosen tools and supplies like kollage SQUARE needles, WonderFil threads, Briggs & Little yarns, notions, and handmade goods by By The Yhard!
