About Us | The Wool Pirate Story

The Wool Pirate is an online yarn store located along beautiful Lake Erie in Norfolk County, Ontario.

As a lifelong knitter and crocheter, I’ve always loved crafting beautiful things—but just as importantly, I’ve been mindful of where my materials come from. Finding yarns and tools from companies that care about animal welfare, the environment, and quality craftsmanship has always been essential to me. Since my time and effort go into every piece I make, I want those pieces to last.

Over time, I realized how much time I was spending researching and vetting companies to ensure their values aligned with mine. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who cared about these things, and I wanted to make it easier for others to find products they could trust. That’s how The Wool Pirate was born—a carefully curated collection of yarns, tools, and accessories from companies that share a commitment to quality and sustainability.

Every product in our store is hand-selected to meet the same standards I hold for myself. When you shop here, you can feel confident that you’re choosing items that respect animals, support eco-friendly practices, and offer exceptional quality.

Thank you for joining me on this journey! Whether you knit, crochet, or simply love fibre, I’m so glad you found The Wool Pirate. Welcome aboard!
