Hi, so far I have found the Portland Fiber Gallery at 229 Congress St, 1-5 Tues-Sat, and Northern Watters Knitwear 150 Richmond St. Charlottestown, PEI, which supposedly sells both finished goods and yarn.

 

Are you going to the unofficial Meet & Greet at Sail Away?

Halifax has a favorite knitting shop for me. The Loop Cafe. http://www.theloophalifax.ca/links/ Not a bad walk from where the ships dock or you can take a taxi.

 

I bought some lovely hand spun, hand dyed yarn there. Should have bought a lot more.

There's a great yarn store in Halifax in the Hydrostone Market on Young St. You could take a cab there, it's not very far. Here's the website: http://www.lkyarns.com/

By far my favourite wool store.

 

The Loop Craft Cafe (as previously mentioned) is a great store, too, but it's very pricey, but it is within walking distance of the port, on Barrington St.
