Well, it looks like spring may be here again (after a stormy interlude) and we are thinking about planting!
We have an abundance of flax seeds that were donated to us which we would be delighted to share. If you are interested in planting flax, please email us with your request.
In other news, we have many things to celebrate this month!
First our %100 Canadian beautiful, earth friendly garments were featured in the March edition of the Globe & Mail Style Advisor insert along side some of the biggest names in the fashion industry (see photo below – the scarf, sweater, mini-shawl, pants and socks are all from Wave Fibre Mill). Wow! What a thrill!
Click here to see the full insert. Thanks so much to Julia from Grays and the Style Advisor team for making this happen!
Secondly, we are over the moon to have been selected as a Coralus Venture and to be part of this dynamic, values-driven community that is changing the way we do business and impacting the world. We can’t wait to collaborate, learn and amplify our impact alongside an incredible group of Ventures. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey!
We would also like to extend a huge thank you to PARO for their support in helping us purchase our new (to us) industrial knitting machine. Long johns on the horizon.
There is a lot going on nationally and internationally in the world of politics right now. With the upcoming federal election in Canada, the Canadian Wool Collective has created a position paper with questions to ask your local candidates. This includes questions such as: What are you wearing today? Has any part of your outfit been grown or manufactured in Canada? Is any of it Canadian wool? If not today’s outfit, what about the rest of your wardrobe?
We would like to raise pubic and political awareness about the importance of a domestic textile industry. To see the full CWC report click here.
Lastly, and happily, work on the new website is making steady progress. We look forward to being able to launch it soon and to share it with you.
