“I got the wool from a women’s collective in Argentina. I only do fair-trade—I find the different farms through a company in Toronto that knows my requirements.”


“This wool is called thick-and-thin spun and is made in really small quantities. I like it because it’s really light and airy. When I’m really busy, I get my boyfriend to roll up the yarn for me because it takes forever. It is hand-spun so it comes off the wheel like that.”


“After it’s rolled, I start knitting from it right away. I actually get custom needles made from a designer on Etsy because the wool is so thick. It’s funny—even with needles, I deal with small businesses.”


“I usually knit for eight to 12 hours a day, or until my shoulders really hurt. I just got Netflix. I just watched Martha Marcy May Marlene twice! It’s my favorite movie right now.”


“After I’m finished, I seam the cowl so that it’s just one circle. Then I stamp and ribbon the craft tags, and we’re good to go.”
