Located in Montreal, Canada, Sonder Yarn Co. is an independent company offering a beautiful and cohesive palette of colourways on a range of custom milled bases.

My road to Sonder took a meandering path through graduate school in Clinical Psychology, web design, project management, and a decade-long run as one of the founding owners of Espace Tricot, a local yarn shop in Montreal. The LYS years were among the most rewarding of my life, igniting a latent passion for entrepreneurship and the curation of custom yarn lines. I couldn't be happier to now make this a career!

Inspired by the definition of ‘Sonder' in John Koenig's "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows” (-n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own), my company name was chosen in an effort to highlight the idea that we all, individually, have stories, experiences, and realities, that others can't possibly know. Many use craft and making to help process and express these; sharing our stories around a common passion can play a small role in helping us appreciate our myriad differences and similarities. Everyone has a story.⁠⁠  Sonder Yarn Co. is honoured to become a supporting cast member as you knit yours.
