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.

I think everyone in the Northern Hemisphere, after months of snow and cold, is pining after a green spring right about now. This month’s collector colour is inspired by the garden movement, environmentalism and hope for a greener, cleaner future.

The excessively flamboyant and ornate style of Rococo emerged in France in the 1720s. It remained the predominant design style for most of the 18th century with sweeping pastel colours and golden details reigning supreme. This month’s collector colour is inspired by this period of gorgeous design, a classic peach terracotta with pops of royal hues and gold.

Pantone has named Mocha Mousse the colour of the year, and what better way to celebrate brown being back in fashion than a limited edition colourway.

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.

More than half of the reason why we love watching Bridgerton is the fashion.

We know that we are a little out of the way for most folks, but there are so many other wonderful reasons to visit Bruce Grey County to make your trip to the Koigu farm even MORE worth it.
