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!
This coming month’s collector colour is inspired by the cheerful picnic season of the summer. Being surrounded by the buzzing of honeybees in the flowers, gingham blankets and sandwiches in the sunshine.
There’s something special about the sight of fishermen at work and the salty smell of the seaside that just screams SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE! This month’s collector colour is inspired by just that: the bold nautical reds and blues that dot the shoreline in the form of lighthouses, buoys, boats and fishing gear.
This month’s collector colour is inspired by the happy nostalgia of dolls! Whether you played with dolls as a child or not, you can’t help but feel cheerful looking at the bright colours of Polly Pocket, Barbie, Cabbage Patch kids and other vintage dolls & their accessories.
Local Yarn Store Day is a special day to celebrate your beloved local crafting spaces, communities, and shops. Visit your local yarn stores on April 26th!
We have new and special edition Koigu products coming to stores near you. Plan your day with this guide of which Koigu LYS Day products are where:
The Estonian song & dance festivals are happening this upcoming summer and Kersti and Merike will be attending! Koigu's history is deeply rooted in Estonian handicrafts & traditions. Our family originated from Estonia and continues to celebrate our culture. Estonian folk festivals are filled with colourful embroidered and woven traditional folk costumes and fresh flower crowns. This month’s Koigu Collector Colour is inspired by the FOLK FESTIVAL.

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".
Left: Canada Eh. Right: 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.
