Unused Crochet / Knit Materials (North end Halifax, Stadacona)

I'm going to try to learn to knit and/or crochet! :)
If you have left over ends or skiens that you won't be using I will put them to good use, likely over and over again. I do have one large crochet hook and a set of short, thick knitting needles. They are all of the plastic, Dollarama type, but my interest is piqued. I can make a slip knot, chain and even do a basic crochet or knit stitch, but that's it - lolz
Any colour and type of yarns or twine will do. I would also welcome any sizes of hooks or needles. Even bent ones. Hopefully a smaller diameter than my pinky finger - hahaha
Much appreciated.
