✨Whimsical Wednesday | Coreopsis

Some flowers know how to make an entrance.

🌼Coreopsis doesn't fuss about it. It simply blooms in brilliant little bursts of sunshine, scattering gold across the landscape and daring you not to notice.

Coreopsis is our ode to those late-summer days when the gardens are still glowing and golden seems to be the only sensible colour.

A little wild. A little sunny. Entirely unapologetic.

☀️What will you make with a little sunshine?

Project Pick of the Week ✨

Some patterns just need the right yarn.

🎶Meet Melody Cardigan by Anna Krzyżak, paired with our Cumulus Alpaca Silk.

A dreamy combination of airy fabric, beautiful drape, and that irresistible alpaca halo.

Light enough for layering, soft enough to live in, and just a little bit ethereal.

Basically, the cardigan equivalent of a cloud you can wear.

☁️ Choose your Cumulus shade and start your Melody.

Wool* has just been slapped with an additional 50% tariff going to the USA. It seems to me to be the final nail in the coffin for the idea that exporting all our wool is the best plan (and the best return) for Canadian farmers.

This is the moment to truly reckon with how we’ve handled our national wool clip for the past 30 years and to come up with something better.

Let’s reinvest in our domestic wool processing infrastructure - building jobs and investing in rural economies.

Let’s get innovative and creative with the products we can actually make with Canadian wool to take full advantage of all the benefits of this incredible material that is a renewable resource.

And let’s work with farmers, manufacturers and designers to remind government that Canadian wool is more than just a by-product or some forgotten agricultural commodity.

The first step is to find and support the local Canadian wool already transformed and sold in your own community. (Check out Canadian Wool for the most comprehensive list)

Support those that are already doing the work - and then speak to your MLA, MP your agricultural extension agent and tell them that Canadian wool is important!

*not all forms of wool have been added to the new tariff list. Check my website for a more comprehensive look at this.

✨Whimsical Wednesday | Magnolia in Bloom 🌸

Some things simply refuse to bloom just once. The magnolia tree outside the shop surprised us this summer with a couple of late-season blooms, as if it had decided spring deserved an encore.

There’s actually a word for this: Remontancy. It's the curious habit of a plant flowering again, out of season or more than once a year.

And perhaps Magnolia in Bloom has a little of that same spirit.

We dyed it once earlier this summer, and now, quite unexpectedly, it has returned for a second bloom.

Magnolias have long been associated with beauty, dignity, perseverance, and a kind of enduring grace.

Some things are beautiful for a season.
Others are beautiful enough to become timeless heirlooms.

Here's to second blooms, unexpected returns, and the sort of knitting that might still be loved many years from now.

✨ Magnolia in Bloom — back for an encore.

🧶Project Pick of the Week: Loop by Casapinka

Some colours give main character energy. Everything is Love 💗 is one of them.

The magic is in the contrast: a quiet, grounding neutral gives all those naturally dyed rainbow shades room to shine, while the pops of colour keep the finished piece playful and unexpected.

Think of your neutral base as the canvas.
Everything is Love is the paint.

And because no two naturally dyed skeins are quite alike, your Loop will be entirely your own.

Ready to make one? Choose your mc, add a skein of Everything is Love, and let the colours wander.

Find the yarn at Natural Ewe Yarns and cast on a little colour therapy. 🌈

✨Whimsical Wednesday | Heather at Dusk 🌙

There is a fleeting moment when daylight loosens its grip.

The sky deepens. The wildflowers become silhouettes. Purple settles across the landscape until the horizon and the earth seem to breathe together.

Heather at Dusk captures that quiet in-between in a rich, smoky plum that lingers long after the sun has disappeared.

🌆 What would you cast on as the evening settles in?

Textiles & Treasures Trail Project: Bonnie & Clyde

Two shawlettes. Two colours. One delightfully mismatched pair of yarn twins.

With less than two weeks left of the Textiles & Treasures Trail, there’s still time to choose your colours, pick up your passport, and cast on!

For our sample, we paired Sunrise Trail & Northumberland Strait: one skein for Bonnie, one for Clyde.

It’s a wonderfully portable project for a summer road trip, a visit to the Trail, or those last few weeks of summer when you’re not quite ready to admit autumn is coming.
