Mont Tricot
Knitting Heaven
A stroll through the town of Sutton brought the girls to “Mont Tricot” and a heavenly fibre experience. Click here for the website of Mont Tricot.
Clouds of Silk and Mohair
Constance and Rose sink into the clouds of colour and softness of these skeins. This yarn is called “Silk Halo” – and no wonder!

Pink Silk Halo
Rose liked the pink. Our generous host bought a skein and had it wound into two small balls so the humans could each make a Hitty sweater!

Quimper Hittys 
What a colorful treat at Mont Tricot.
The Hittys seem to love wool shops, and Rose particularly loves to knit!
That looks like a natural habitat for a Hitty. I remember your post from the Knotty by Nature store in Victoria – good things seem to come from places like this.
We have all the ingredients for good things, Rose is scheming, and wondering if she is going to be able to knit up a lonely tree shawl (having never done any lace work)!
Oh gosh what wonderful wool. We will be waiting to see those delicious sweaters that get knitted!
We’ll certainly keep you posted!
Heavenly! 🙂
Yes! The kind proprietor was very kind to the girls too, always a good sign! If we lived near there, we would go there often!
Such lovely photos…such a lovely shoppe….such lovely HIttys!! Can’t wait to see what Rose comes up with.
Constance also looks quite comfy amid all that softness and color.
It was a pleasant place, and they had a little dog that looked very sheepish.
A delicious visit indeed, those Hittys look so at home amongst the squishiness, and visiting this retrospectively I know what wonders came out of that lovely yarn 🙂
It is lovely yarn indeed, and visits to fibre shops are among our favourite pastimes! Constance and Rose were very pleased with the colour, the fuzziness and warmth of the shawls, and the memories they evoke of our trip to Quebec!
