Sustainable Knitwear for Slow Living
Spring Launch April 17th
Who We Are
-
We use only 100% natural fibres from farms in Canada and abroad. Our closest farmer is only 6 hours away named Disdero Ranch, located in the interior of British Columbia with award winning wool.
Our most used yarn is a baby alpaca silk blend by Fyberspates, a British company that sources their baby alpaca from small farms in the highlands of Peru.
-
All our products are 100% biodegradable. Our favourite biodegradable material is wool. When wool breaks down, it returns nitrogen, potassium and sulphur back into soil. It also assists soil with water retention, improves aeration, and regulates soil temperature. There is much research suggesting wool is a carbon sink.
-
All our knit garments are crafted on antique machinery in Squamish, British Columbia. We have 2 knitting machines - one is completely hand operated and requires zero electricity to produce knit goods. The other has electronic patterning features, but still needs to be operated by hand. All the seaming, darning and quality checks are done by hand. All manufacturing is done at our Squamish studio.
-
We believe at our core that products should be made to last, not fall apart after a year of wear. We pride ourselves on high quality garment construction and material sourcing to design luxury garments in small batches.
-
We will repair your garment free of charge for its entire lifetime. Running an ethical fashion line means sharing responsibility with consumers to maintain the longevity of our clothes.
Your skin is the largest organ of your body.
Give it the care it deserves.

The Cloud Band Vest draws inspiration from multiple sources; our materials are always our first point of contact with inspiration, as the natural predisposition of fibres define it’s ultimate purpose in our clothing development.
Originally, this design was made only with yarn from Disdero Ranch, a woman owned farm from the interior of BC with the goal of making a garment that is fully biodegradable.
Working with a spinning mill in the UK, we sourced a botanically dyed yarn range that is also fully biodegradable and expanded our colour range to Indigo Tile as well as our original 100% Canadian natural tone vest. Our botanically dyed colourway is made with indigo dye native to Peru, where our partners yarns are sourced and developed.
Our second point of inspiration was from a trip to Spain where we drew inspiration from the incredible tile work at Real Alacazar in Seville. The rich details captivated our inspiration and helped realize this tiled fair isle pattern. This vest is not only a practical approach to fibre, but an appreciation of detailed surface pattern development that combines Spanish and Arabic design.
Ethically made, easy to care for, and built to become a dependable wardrobe staple. Perfect for around the fire, a night on the balcony, or when that summer outfit just gets a little too breezy.
Made to Order.
Natural Colourway: 50/50 blend of corriedale and mohair. 100% Canadian yarn from Disdero Ranch in British Columbia, a woman owned farm with award winning wool run by a former veterinarian.

FAQs
-
It really depends - every design is a little different. It takes anywhere from 1 to 4 hours to knit our garment panels (front, back, sleeves, collar). Then, it takes another 2-3 hours to seam, darn, steam, and tag everything. Production days before markets normally run about 14 hours.
-
Yes! Everything is researched, designed, edited, knit, seamed, and tagged in our Squamish studio. We wouldn’t dream of using AI to help us design, and frankly can’t believe that’s a question we get these days.
-
The best way to wash your natural fibre garment is by soaking it in cold water with a gentle detergent. Afterwards, remove excess water with a towel and lay flat to dry. If you hang it, you’ll stretch your stitches and your garment will change sizes and warp. Please don’t put your garment in the dryer!
