National Parks

We have ordered the National Parks Collection from Fleece Artist and it will be in the store later this summer.

In honour of Canada’s 150th Birthday we have curated a collection in our Merino Slim highlighting 13 of Canada’s National Parks, one for each province and territory.

The inspiration

Nova Scotia – Sable Island – Ponies, lonely beaches and shipwrecks

Prince Edward Island – Greenwich Dunes –  Parabolic dunes, marram grass, horizon sea 

Newfoundland and Labrador – Gros Morne – Majestic fjords, tabletop mountains, craggy forests 

Quebec – Forillon  – Grey Cliffs of Mont-Saint-Alban and meadows of fireweed 

Ontario – Thousand Islands -Islands of granite with pine and autumn foliage reflected in lake water 

Manitoba –Riding Mountain  – Roaming bison and black bears 

Saskatchewan – Grasslands  – Summer fields under blue prairie sky 

Alberta – Banff  – Turquoise waters of Moraine Lake, rocky mountains and alpine forests 

British Colombia –  Gwaii Haanas  – Moss draped cedar, mists and memories of totems past 

Yukon – Kluane – Rippling curtains of Aurora Borealis 

Northwest Territories –Aulavik – Bright contrast Sea coast of the Arctic Ocean 

Nunavut – Sirmilik– Shimmering glaciers and ice fields

I need to do some traveling to see these sights.

A customer asked with concern about the store being closed next week. I am going on vacation, there isn't anything wrong. It's Beth's birthday and we decided to head out of town for a few days.

The store will be closed Wednesday July 5 - Monday July 10. We'll be open again on Tuesday July 11. 

This is the first time ever that we have closed the store for holidays. It will be weird not calling to check in and see how the day is. I talk to the store every day. Even on my trips to New Zealand.
