Bundle Up!

When the weather becomes frightful here in the Pacific Northwest, it's important to have as many fun warm woollies as possible. Our favorites this year are from knitting doyenne Paola Buendia of Wooden Ships. Born in Colombia, designer Paola Buendia founded Wooden Ships in 1992. She consistently puts out collections of the highest quality hand-knit accessories.

We currently have three Wooden Ships collections in the store- flapper, plaid, and tapestry. Flapper features hand-knit rosettes on pull through scarves and adorable hats. The plaid collection has classic ski hats with yarn tops, and chunky scarves with fringe. And tapestry, pictured above, has some of the most beautiful hand embroidery work we've ever seen! All of the pieces are available in multiple colorways, and beg to be seen (and felt!) in person. Prices are amazing as well, ranging from $18- $50. Not bad for the perfect handmade holiday gift!
