Stranger 3/100: Emma Duell @woolwichfineyarns

Featured in Explore on March 18, 2023, at #346.

My partner had an errand to run in Guelph this afternoon and we decided to make an adventure of it. In particular we wanted to check the new yarn store on Quebec Street downtown: Woolwich Fine Yarns.

Emma Duell is the owner. She knew the people who owned the former yarn store in the same location and decided to lease the shop when they moved out. She seems to have set the tone slightly higher with brands like Malabrigo, my favourite nowadays, and lots of pure natural fibres. She opened the space to provide more light at the back of the store where a table is set up for Monday night drop-ins.

After an enjoyable chat about yarns and patterns I asked to photograph her for 100 Strangers since I had never met her before. But I expect Danny and I will meet her many more times in the years ahead. Waterloo has just lost its excellent yarn store, but Guelph isn't far away, and Woolwich Fine Yarns is lovely.

Emma must be proud of her fine hair, an appropriate characteristic of someone who sells soft fibre. I was pleased to catch her in a casual gesture before posing.
