Espace Tricot

I’ve been to this shop twice, once in Fall of 2012 and again in Fall of 2013. I enjoyed my shopping experience both times. They have a selection of a great yarns in a range of prices. I found the owners/​employees to be friendly and helpful. The vibe is pleasant and welcoming with no language barrier that I could see. People in the shop, both employees and customers, seemed to switch between French and English as needed without any hesitation or crankiness. There are a lot of finished garments on display to spark inspiration. Each time that I shopped at this store I discovered a yarn I’d never seen before in Eastern Canada. They seem to stock certain go-​to yarns predictably while bringing in newer, trendier yarn lines. I’ve been to 3 shops in Montréal in the past 2 years. If you’re visiting Montréal and only have time for one yarn shop this should be the one. Visit their website and sign up for their bi-​lingual newsletter or stop by their Ravelry group for info on sales, patterns, classes etc., The shop is easy to get to by public transit and it’s located in a truly charming neighbourhood.
