Oh I wish I lived in Mahone Bay to partake in their shop life...a group of local ladies were sitting comfortably & having a great time knitting/chatting. The owner couldnt have been nicer...immediately asked if I needed help and took me right over to the local NS yarns. Love to purchase locally produced products when travelling. Have a Yarn had the best selection of the 4 (lol)yarn shops I visited in NS. Couldnt resist her cute store project bag either. Knitters: be sure to stop.

This was a stop on our trip at a local yarn store. There were some beautiful hand dyed yarns available, along with some kits with those yarns. The owner was delightful and gave me options of other ways to incorporate two hand dyed yarns into my project. She provided me with alternate instructions. Very pleasant and wonderful stop.

An excellent quality selection of art supplies is also available. In the Gallery you can view exhibitions from regional artists of note.

I love the variety this gallery offers, several different mediums, watercolours, acrylics, pottery and quilts. Oh I would love to have bought a quilt, but we were in a hurry to get to the Joggins Fossil Park. I wish I spent a little more time, the artist in the store was ever so lovely, very chatty and friendly. If you have the time, talk to the artist and have a look around, it was a beautiful collection of arts. I actually bought a watercolour pad, pencils and pens (limited in supply) for my own arts.
