About Artisanthropy
Your source for yarn in Cobourg since May 2017. We are an independently-owned needle and fibre arts supply shop based in Ontario, with a focus on Canadian-produced (where possible), quality materials for knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, hand-quilting, tatting and beadwork. We recently acquired Kniterary in Whitby as well, so we now have two locations to serve you better.
Our goal is to provide locally-made, environmentally-conscious products at reasonable prices, delivered with a side of personal customer service. We do our best to source products that are made with a high degree of environmental responsibility, that leave the land with as small a footprint as possible for our future generations.
We do our best to satisfy your artisan supply needs, and are happy to work with you to bring in the products you know, love and need for your projects.

Artisanthropy: The Name
You might wonder how we came upon our name. Read on!
artisan – ˈärdəzən/
noun: artisan; plural noun: artisans
a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand.
synonyms include: craftsman, craftswoman, craftsperson
Origin: mid-16th century: from French, from Italian artigiano, based on Latin artitus, past participle of artire ‘instruct in the arts,’ from ars, art- ‘art.’
-anthropy
suffix: humanity; mankind
Origin: from Ancient Greek ἄνθρωπος (ánthrōpos, “human”).
From the marriage of our favourite word for our customers, and what we thought was the most appropriate suffix, Artisanthropy was born.
