Nothing shows your love more than a hand-knit gift for the holidays, and the annual Black Friday sale at Needles in the Hay at 385 Water Street in downtown Peterborough means you can stock up on all the yarn, needles, patterns, and inspiration you’ll need for each unique project.
Aptly named, Needles in the Hay is truly a needle in a haystack — a unique shop where you will find high-quality natural fibre yarns and where you can connect with other fibre enthusiasts in the community.
Founded in 2010, Needles in the Hay is one of the longest-running shops in Peterborough’s downtown. Owner Deanna Guttman, a passionate knitter herself, has been at the helm of the business since 2016.
Alongside accessories and inspirations for knitting and other fibre arts, Needles in the Hay also stocks a curated selection of natural fibre yarns in a myriad of colours. From merino and alpaca wools to cashmere, cotton, linen, and more, all yarns come from responsible brands and in a variety of price points.
Needles in the Hay not only offers all the supplies you need to start your next project, but also helps you turn what is often a solitary activity into a community one.
Located above the Water Street shop, The Hayloft is an educational space designed to support fibre lovers, whether you’re a beginner trying something new or are already skilled and looking to brush up on a technique or overcome a challenge. Needles in the Hay offers regularly scheduled classes in The Hayloft for a variety of skill levels and artistic pursuits, as well as free weekly drop-ins from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays.
Whether you’re buying for yourself or the knitter on your holiday shopping list, you’ll find great deals during Needles in the Hay’s largest sale of the year.
From Friday, November 29 to Monday, December 2, the online-only sale will offer big savings, including 15 per cent off The Fibre Co. and Brooklyn Tweed, two of the shop’s most popular brands. Purchases must total more than $100 before tax, and the sale does not include discounted dye lots. Clearance yarns will also have major savings up to 50 per cent off.
What’s more, from Monday, November 25 to Monday, December 2, customers who collect loyalty points as a Needle Point member will receive twice the points when making purchases. That means shoppers can get savings when shopping now and at a later date too. A deal like that is truly a needle in a haystack.
