Sustainable Knitwear for Slow Living

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 materials 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.

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!

  • Yes! We take custom orders for colours or sizing for our available designs. We unfortunately do not accept custom orders for designs not in our archive.
