Summer is almost here and we want to remind all of our knitters and crocheters that, as we have done in previous years, the hours at the shop will be reduced for July and August.
Our Summer Hours will be:
We will return to our regular hours on September 5th, which are:
Please Note:
Our store is run 100% by volunteers, and we are located in an open portion of The Salvation Army building in Maple Ridge.
Because of our uniqueness, we do not have a separate entrance, and therefore cannot physically “lock the door to the shop” on Mondays when we are closed (but The Salvation Army is open).
We apologize for any inconvenience, but please respect the fact that The Salvation Army staff are not able to assist you in Once Upon a Sheep during our non-business hours.
Thanks.

If you have never heard of Yarn Bombing, it is described on Wikipedia as:
“Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, kniffiti, urban knitting or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk.”
This is a very different and fun way to use up the extra yarn you have on hand. The actual yarn bombing will take place around June 11th in Mission.
If you would like to contribute strips to this community project, please drop them off at Once Upon a Sheep before 4:00 pm on Tuesday, May 30th, and we will deliver them for you.
In recognition of National Volunteer Week from April 23rd to 27th, we would like to express a huge Thank You to all of our volunteers who keep the shop running so smoothly.
In addition to assisting our customers and staffing the shop, there are many endless hours spent behind the scenes as well. Your dedication, knowledge, special skills and individual talents are very much appreciated.
