Opening a new business is always a leap of faith, especially when it’s built on passion and a desire to bring people together. DBNyarns has taken that leap with a fresh new venture that blends creativity, craftsmanship, and community spirit. This blog shares the story behind the launch, introduces Leanne, the owner, and explores how this new space is designed to inspire and connect yarn lovers and makers alike.

The Beginning of Death By Needles’ New Chapter

Welcome to Death by Needles, a cozy corner of the yarn world where creativity, comfort, and community come together.

Leanne, the heart behind DBNyarns, saw an opportunity to create more than just a store. She envisioned a welcoming hub where people could gather, learn, and share their love for yarn crafts. This new business launch is the realization of that vision, combining retail with workshops, events, and community meetups.

Our shop is filled with yarns we love, tools we trust, and colours that spark inspiration. We’re proud to support Canadian makers, small mills, and independent dyers whenever we can.

Meet Leanne, the Owner and Creative Force

Leanne’s journey with yarn began years ago as a hobby, but it quickly became a passion that shaped her life. Her deep knowledge of fibers, colors, and techniques makes her a trusted guide for both beginners and experienced crafters. She believes that yarn crafts are more than just hobbies—they are ways to express creativity, reduce stress, and build friendships.

Leanne’s approach to running the new business focuses on community and education. She regularly hosts workshops on knitting, crochet, and other fiber arts, encouraging people to try new techniques and share their progress. Her friendly and approachable style makes the store feel like a second home for many customers.
