Classic knitwear
Grown, milled, and made in Canada

05/08/2026

I work exclusively with small batch, undyed yarn (100% grown & milled Canadian wool). The natural sheep shade colours I offer — Birch, Aspen, Quarry, Muskeg, and Peat — are all a reflection of the fleece grown by the sheep themselves.

To create these shades, white Rambouillet wool is blended with varying amounts of darker wool from different sheep breeds. Because the fibre available changes from year to year, each batch of yarn that comes back from the mill is slightly unique.

Even though the wool is undyed, there can still be subtle variation in colour between batches, much like a traditional dye lot. It is one of the things I love most about working with natural fibre.

If you’d like your sweater and toque to match as closely as possible, I recommend ordering them around the same time.

There’s something about the way she moves through her days that has stuck with me. Slow mornings, tending to her animals, doing the work that needs to get done, taking the time to make and enjoy nourishing meals, and spending her evenings crafting for the . It felt really special to witness and to share a small glimpse of it here.

Thank you, Taylor, for opening up your world and inspiring us.

My good friend is in the middle of calving season and sent me these photos saying she’s been wearing her Woodland Sweater for four days straight.

This makes me so happy. I designed this sweater for long days spent outside, working through changing weather. This is where wool really shines.

I’ve picked up the remainder of this year’s yarn from the mill. If you’ve been waiting for the natural sheep shade colours Quarry, Muskeg, and Peat to be restocked, they’re now available.

I didn’t receive as many skeins as I’d hoped in the darker shades, so quantities are limited this year.

On a hopeful note, I’ve recently connected with a farmer nearby who raises Gotland and Finnsheep, with a focus on breeding for those rich natural dark tones. My hope is to be able to offer more of these shades in the years ahead.

I am overjoyed to be vending again this summer, taking place from July 10th - 12th in Evansburg, AB.

The women I met at Wild Roses last summer inspired me and I have been designing pieces with them in mind. I have some delicate crochet and knit lace designs in the works—all undyed and made from 100% Canadian wool and alpaca—that I cannot wait to share with you all.

See you in 4 months xoxo

People are often surprised when I tell them I run Marty Lynn out of my tiny home. This small space has everything I need: a loft bed with a living room underneath, a closet, kitchen, and a 5 x 6 studio space (plus a shed full of wool because lets be honest, that isn’t fitting in my tiny home).

I source wool and alpaca fibre from local farmers and mills, but the rest of the production happens right here in this small room. Apart from a micro inventory I build for markets, each piece is made to order just for you.

I make the kind of knitwear that you reach for every day because it’s comfortable, temperature regulating, and hard wearing. It has delicate details that can only come from a hand crafted item, and it’s a piece you’ll cherish for a lifetime because it was made close to home and just for you.

Winter felt like the right time to finally learn my dad’s old film camera. I took a workshop at McBain, loaded a fresh roll into my Fuji STX-2, and wandered the farm after a snowfall to practice. Shooting film feels slower and more present than pulling out my phone, and I’m hoping that grounded feeling carries through in what I share here.

In the studio, I’ve been designing a summer collection with alpaca and Border Leicester yarn from . I’m working with lace and crochet techniques to design a bralette, halter top, a light lace knit sweater.

And one more bit of news: I was voted onto the board of . Grateful to play a deeper role in strengthening wool in Canada.

Winter is for designing.
For testing ideas, making mistakes, and starting again.
Production comes later.

* in June
* in July
* Putting together a series of videos for The Wool Journal that will walk you through how to properly measure for custom knitwear, how to repair knitwear, and how to care for wool knitwear
