YARD & YARDAGE 2025. Plan to come to Yard & Yardage on Sunday, April 27. It’s the festive event of the springtime, bringing together the community and members of the Slocan Valley Threads Guild after a winter of relative hibernation. This popular event will take place inside the Guild and outside on the lawn between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

People typically come to enjoy the lunch and baked goods, the socializing, and the hustle and bustle of shoppers enthusiastically browsing for deals. There are good prices on new fabric, yarn, fleece and notions plus used equipment and books that have been donated and collected during the year. Equally popular is ‘the garden centre’ where shoppers can find perennial plants, food plants (like berries and rhubarb), tubers, bulbs, and houseplants. Advice about plant care and placement from experienced gardeners is part of the bargain. At the gate, we offer coffee, muffins and memberships. For $10, you can join our 136 members who love to create with all kinds of fibre, and receive our inspiring weekly newsletter all year.

Inside the schoolhouse, you will find an array of sweets, savouries, soup and buns, coffee and tea. In this space, affectionately called ‘the tea room’, or outside under a shade tent, you might find yourself in conversation with new friends or reconnecting with people you know over a delicious lunch. There will be a display of members’ latest work to browse. The Guild is a Slocan Valley treasure, a place where fibre artists have grown and developed their craft for almost half a century.

Admission is free. Note that we don’t have cell service or WIFI so cash and cheques are the norm. No dogs please. Our heritage building sits where Highway 6 meets Perry’s Back Road.
