                    Yarn Lover's,
                    Come Home.

More than just a store.

Nestled in the country town of Rosemont, Ontario, is a yarn lover's dream. The Knitting Basket isn't just a retail store. It's an oasis of gardens and shade trees in the spring & summer, and cozy chairs by a woodstove fire in the fall & winter. Come to shop, chat & unwind. Choose the perfect project, cast-on, and knit the day away.  Filled with a lovingly selected collection of yarns, Angie Thompson, opens her unique home/shop to you.

Make a Day of It

The Knitting Basket is a great place to start planning a knit day. Meet your friends for coffee or breakfast at the Rosemont General Store & Cafe. Come settle in at The Knitting Basket for a day of fibre fun in the garden, or by the fireside. You can visit a local alpaca or sheep farm to snuggle up to your favourite wooly friend. At the end of the day enjoy a glass of wine and a good meal at The Globe Restaurant where they specialize in homemade bread and farm to table cuisine.  It's a knitter's dream escape!
​                        
                        
Contact Angie for ideas to make
​                          your perfect knitting away day.
