Collaborations
We work with local makers and artisans to create complementary one-of-a-kind products. It is important to us that we work with other local businesses whenever possible.

Custom Woodworking
Dave Hainrich
Dave is a woodworker who makes an extensive variety of items and often works on custom projects. He prioritizes using Ontario wood species and does not use any exotic woods due to environmental and sustainability concerns. Our first collaboration with Dave was a series of top whorl drop spindles that we have paired with a roving bump, available now here. This year Dave is creating Nostepinnes, Yarn Bowls, Garlic Sizers and more! Subscribe to our email list to hear about new products first.
