About Alley Cat Yarns

All product listings are for items that are ready to go! Your order will ship within 4 business days (M-F). Local pick-up is also available (Kanata South, Ontario, Canada).

New products are added without a particular schedule, so watch your email and Instagram for previews and updates.

Please buy as much yarn as you'll need for your project; I am not able to dye more to match. Whenever possible, shop updates will include sweater quantities.
