Hello!
Wool & Waves is located in Cumberland, a village nestled among the trees in the Comox Valley on beautiful Vancouver Island. Christine Landry grew up on Vancouver Island, and her passion for life and adventure took her on many journeys over the years. For over 15 years, Christine called Calgary home, where she met her husband, found an amazing community of friends, and developed a love for crafting, especially knitting.
The crafting and yarn community is unlike any other. It is a large, close-knit family, a place where we can all share our love of yarns, our people, indie makers, and dyers. Everyone is welcome here.
Friends often ask what motivated the creation of Wool & Waves and how it all began. Several years ago, there was a casual conversation about needing a hobby… Christine pursued the idea and enrolled in a knitting class. Over the next few years, Christine became an integral part of Calgary’s knitting community, eventually operating one of the city’s most popular knitting stores. Wool & Waves was born out of her love for textures and colors. In her spare time, in the basement of her Inglewood home, she started creating beautiful tapestries. The name Wool & Waves reflects her love for two things — fiber and the ocean.
Wool & Waves is a platform to connect talented vendors whose values align with ours, sharing our favorite products, tips, and tricks with makers everywhere.
We welcome everyone, regardless of race, education, religion, sexuality, or orientation.
The final inspiration for Wool & Waves comes from nature, the colors and textures of sand, rocks, moving water, and the peaceful tranquility experienced when staring out across the ocean. When we’re not busy seeking the most amazing products, you’ll find us exploring the West Coast.
Thank you for stopping by. Happy Making!
