Fodor's Expert Review The Yarmouth Wool Shoppe

For a gift or something to keep you warm on chilly Nova Scotian evenings, this local institution, open since 1883, has you covered. Much of the inventory consists of high-end imported items from England, Ireland, and Scotland, including duffel coats, mohair throws, cashmere shawls and sweaters, Harris tweed caps, Guernsey fisherman-knit sweaters, and tartan robes. The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever T-shirts are another local find. If you'd rather create your own garment, they also have knitting yarns.
