Have a mother figure in your life that loves to craft? We have just the thing for you!
Mother’s Day is May 14th this year, order or visit your LYS very soon to make sure you get your gift in time!
Throughout this year we have seen an amazing display of Aurora Borealis in unusally accessible parts of the northern hemisphere, giving many of us a new appreciation for the Northern lights. This month’s collector colourway, POLARIS, is inspired by the bright colours of the northern lights surrounded by the night sky full of stars.
he holiday season may not be here yet, but if you are hoping to make your “knitworthy” loved ones gifts this year, it’s time to get started! Unless you are very ambitious, smaller gifts and accessories are the way to go.
I’ve put together a list of FREE knit and crochet patterns with Koigu yarn suggestions to help you get your gift making started without a hitch.
This month’s collector colour is inspired by the cool, clean colours of MARBLE. Marble is a natural stone with crystallized minerals that can be found worldwide. It has been popular in architecural design and decor since Roman times and become a cultural symbol of tradition and refined taste.
This fall is extra special at the Koigu farm because we have a wedding in the family… the face of Koigu, Kersti, is getting married on the Koigu farm this weekend and our minds have been on everything wedding! So, of course, this month’s collector colour is inspired by the upcoming event.
Being based in Canada, most of our retailers do happen to be based throughout our southern neighbour, the USA, but we do have a few proudly Canadian stores that carry Koigu yarn and products. As our countdown to Canada Day 150 continues, we would like to feature our top 8 Canadian retailers across the country. (for our full retailer list: go here.)

The big day is almost here! 150 years of our beautiful home, Canada, is only a few days away.
Koigu is based in Grey County, a stunning area filled with green farms, fresh lakes and rock formations. Strawberry season is here and we have been surrounded by beautiful reds. We love that we have been proudly Canadian for 25 years so to mark the special occasion we hand-dyed two limited edition KPPPM yarns!
Both were created with a medley of reds featuring Canada's official Flag Red, the exact same dye used to make our national flag. One is speckled and the other is tie dyed, cheekily and patriotically named "Canada Eh" and "Oh Canada".
You can buy these two vivid colours in our new online store that features unique, not-available-in-stores Koigu yarns and products. Pudding Yarn also is now proudly also carrying them. Act fast because skeins are limited!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
Love,
Koigu.
