Crocheting and coffee are the heart of Abbotsford’s newest business, which is set to open on Sunday (Nov. 30).<\/p>\n
The Knotty Brew is a unique creation from the mind of Beatriz, who goes by Bea and is taking a big leap from her former career as a teacher.<\/p>\n
This cafe combines a love for caffeine and crocheting, with these crafters being one of the fastest-growing communities.<\/p>\n
According to a 2025 report by research company Technavio, the worldwide crocheting and knitting market is expected to grow by more than $10 billion (US) between 2024 and 2028.<\/p>\n
With such a recent spike in interest, Bea hopes that this is the perfect time to launch her new business venture, which is the first of its kind in all of Canada.<\/p>\n
The idea for this unique business was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is when Bea began exploring the art of crocheting.<\/p>\n
“When I started crocheting, I really found this happiness in doing it,” said Bea.<\/p>\n
The more that she did it, the more that she began to think that this could be the key to something more than just a fun hobby.<\/p>\n
“Throughout my entire life, I’ve always been a big creator and enjoyed creating stuff,” she said. “I felt like I was always in search of my purpose in terms of what my passion is and what I would really enjoy doing with my time and my life.”<\/p>\n
It was when she visited another themed coffee shop that she was inspired to turn her newfound love into a full career.<\/p>\n
“It kind of clicked in that moment where I realized that it would be so cool to have a creative cafe,” said Bea. “I wanted to create a community where people could come together and create.”<\/p>\n
