Vegetable Patch
Spring on the West Coast, particularly Vancouver Island, can be quite wet. Our hope lies in the promise of sunshine and summer, and the prospect of a bountiful garden harvest. The Vegetable Patch collection represents a fragment of the colour spectrum, produced in the fertile soil of the Saanich Peninsula.
At Dusk
I'm bringing back my At Dusk collection for Summer 2023, inspired by the dusky light after sunset, just before you turn on the edisons. This brief moment of the evening casts a dimness over the patio and yard, muting vibrant summer colours into a palette of moody hues.
The Wedding Party Collection
Our Spring 2023 collection is very much inspired by springtime activity. Trees are in blossom and the air is fresh with ocean breeze. Birds are chirping and the sun is warm. And there are weddings in gardens, under pergolas, on bridges over water. Love, hand in hand.
Winter Skies Collection
This is a Pacific Northwest-inspired collaboration between West Coast Yarn Co. and Pacific Knit Co. The colours represent the light and dark contrast of an icy winter evening, rustic and warm feelings of a cozy cup of coffee, and frosted evergreens silhouetted against star-filled skies. All colours are available separately or as a kit, and as a pre-order only. Turnaround time will be approximately four to six weeks. Pattern is purchased separately from pacificknitco.com.
*Note: colours have been edited to show their truest likeness however, all screens are different.
Out of Light
An exercise in creating and extinguishing light. All that remains are muted shades of darkened colour.
Watercolour Series
This series is all about the relaxing art of water colour. Our local beaches are filled with inspiration - from sun-bleached driftwood and tumbled sea glass to vibrant seas and the ever-changing sky. I've taken time to explore the strength of various colours and how they interact with each other when diluted to the lightest saturation. Each colourway is limited to four skeins, as the dye amounts are so minuscule and difficult to exactly replicate. There will be pre-orders for variations of some of the colourways, aptly named "Something like...'. These skeins will aim to replicate the colourway as closely as possible. This colour study pairs well with the 'Out of Light' Collection, available in shop now.
Along Winter Shores
This Winter 2021/22 collection is inspired by the many beaches and shorelines along the coast of Vancouver Island. Spent botanicals, protected shorelines, and the surface upon which we walk influenced the colourways presented in this collection.
At the Lake
Summer 2021 brings us back to our usual summer spot of refuge and relaxation: At the Lake. Inspired by a local regional park, 'At the Lake' reflects the basic beauty of nature in the summer - Lake, Sand, Trails, and Sunshine - all on our eco-friendly Saltspring 100% non-superwash merino.
Through the Meadow
Our Spring Collection 2021 is arriving with much anticipation after a long, lonely winter. Enjoy the beautiful colours inspired by the meadows found throughout the Saanich Peninsula.
