Our Story

It’s all about the experience...

I’m Joshua, a Portland native, I learned to knit when I was 7 years old from a stranger that took me under her wing while overlooking the beautiful waves on the Oregon coast. I remember my first fiber experience when we ventured into a local yarn store; the yarn was textural, springy, yet soft. I fell in love with the depth of color, layers of greens and brown. This experience started my passion for knitting and fiber arts. Today, I find myself searching for these same tones in my dying my own fibers.

Every fiber embeds a memory...

We spend so much time on our projects; from the materials selected, to dropping a stitch and then starting over again, to taking my project on the go, wherever that might be. When wearing the final piece, these memories stick with us forever.

2020 was a tough year for everyone including myself, but I wanted to find a way to give back to the fiber community, fulfill my passion for creativity, and share my love for the arts. I started researching mills across the world seeking fiber that aligned with my vision: yarns that delivers an incredible experience and create lasting memories. After interviewing multiple vendors, I have created a wonderful partnership with a woman managed mill based in Tibet. This mill ethically sources all of their raw goods from farms throughout Europe; then blends the superfine wool with cashmere to lift the weight while increasing warmth and softness.
