Love a Cozy, Creative, and Communal Environment? Join Our Team!

As The Knitting Loft continues to grow, we're looking for kind, hardworking people who are excited to help create an incredible experience for our community.

Whether you're welcoming customers on the shop floor, preparing online orders, organizing the stockroom, crafting a steamy latte, or helping bring new ideas to life, every role at TKL contributes to something bigger: creating a space where people (team and community) feel a genuine sense of belonging.

✔ What You'll Do

No two days look exactly the same at The Knitting Loft.

Depending on your experience, strengths, and the needs of the business, you may spend your day:

• Welcoming and assisting customers
• Recommending yarns, tools, and patterns
• Organizing and restocking the shop
• Preparing online orders and in-store pickups
• Receiving and processing new product arrivals
• Creating beautiful displays
• Preparing café beverages and serving customers
• Supporting community events and special projects

We're a collaborative team, and everyone jumps in where they're needed.

🧶 Fibre Experience

Knitting or crochet experience is certainly an asset, but not a requirement.

Our ideal candidate has enough fibre knowledge to confidently learn how to help customers choose yarns and substitutions, but we also recognize that great team members come with different strengths.

If you’re excited and passionate about learning, and eager to grow, we’d still love to hear from you!

👀 What We're Looking For

Above all else, we're looking for people who are a great fit for our team.

We value people who are:

• Kind and welcoming
• Humble and comfortable with receiving feedback
• Dependable and hardworking
• Adaptable when priorities change
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Happy to jump in wherever they're needed
• Excited to meaningfully contribute to our creative, community-centred space

🙃 Why (or Why Not) The Knitting Loft?

We're passionate about what we do, and we care deeply about the people we do it for, which makes us unapologetic in our commitment to an active, results-oriented environment, where we take pride in doing things well.

We dream big, we work hard at making the dream come true, and there is always something that needs doing, whether that's making coffee, cleaning the shop, preparing orders, organizing displays, or supporting customers and teammates. We all pitch in, and every member of the team plays an important role in shaping the experience people have when they walk through our doors.

If you're someone who enjoys staying busy, takes pride in leaving people and places better than you found them, and likes being part of a team that's always growing and improving together, we'd love to hear from you.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a slower-paced retail environment with repetitive and predictable routines, this probably isn’t the right fit, and that’s perfectly ok.

We’d still love to welcome you as part of our community. Whether you’re relaxing in our social lounge, joining us for an event, or simply stopping in to browse the yarn, you’ll always have a place here.
