Kim and Dave`s Home Page
A wonderful page to find out about Craft Supplies, Wedding Supplies, Knitting needs, Wool,
Yarn, Beads, Needlework, Craft Ideas, and just about anything
else you can think of to fill those idle moments. Kim`s YARN BARN was located in Dawson Creek, BC, Canada. We closed in December 1999. This non-commercial page is dedicated to giving you ideas and information. We would have loved to stay open but . . . no money. Guess we`ll have to win the lottery.

- May 6, 1995
- Kim and Dave Lightfoot were married (with children :-)
- May 15, 1997
- Kim and Dave Lightfoot purchased Kim`s YARN BARN thus
bringing purpose and hard work into an otherwise laid
back life style. The dedicated reader will soon get an
idea of the enormity of this project. On Dec 4, 1999 we closed the doors to our store. But we still do some work out of our home
- Hand Made Teddy Bears
This is Stevie Bear. He comes in a kit which is
ready for assembly with all the little teddy bear parts
you need and the instructions to build him. Stevie has
lots of brothers and sisters so you can make a whole
family of bears if you have a little time.

- Personalized CrossStitch Patterns
- One of the first things we learned was to custom make
personal Cross Stitch kits from photographs provided by
our customers. We have become quite good at it but the
projects are so detailed that it takes many nights for a
dedicated Stitcher to create these heirlooms. Note that ther is no picture here because you can supply any picture and we will draw your Cross Stitch chart from it.
-
- Knitted Afghans
These take
a long time but you have a very desirable covering when
you finish. Try a crocheted afghan to start with. These
are a little quicker and easier to make but not quite as
solid-
- Hand Sewn Victorian Lampshades
- Making your own lampshades brings a touch of luxurious
decadence to your home. These are not slapped together
with a glue gun. The genuine artical takes about a week
of sore, poked fingers to accomplish (but you have
something to be very proud of when you finish
- Dreamcatchers
Native crafts are always popular and dreamcatchers are
faddish right now. There are as many different
dreamcatchers as your imagination will conceive. And
don`t stop there. Try your hand at moccasins or drums or
some of the many other bead crafts that you can learn
about.
- Hand Made Beeswax Candles
- This is a quick, simple and profitable craft. With a
little bit of practice you can make a great variety of
beautiful candles to keep or sell at flea markets or
craft sales.
-
- Stained Glass Quilts
- Who ever heard of a quilt which goes on the wall instead
of the bed? We know how to make them. Kim went to an
expert to learn the technique and now stocks all of the
material to make wonderful wall hangings. This is a craft
that takes a short time to learn and a lifetime to
master.
