Wedding & formal season is upon us! Fancy dress, limos and bouquets are abundant as summer special events take place all around. This month’s collector colour is inspired by velvety, satiny textures and jewel tones that lend themselves to the finest of occasions.
This month's collector colour is here and it is fresh, cheerful and just what the doctor ordered...'SPRING CLEANING'.
Spring is upon us and with it we can feel the shifting winds, the ground start to thaw and the crisp chill of winter start to give way to the warm mist of spring. This month’s collector colour, ATMOSPHERE, is inspired by the freshness of air, water and nature surrounding us.
Inspired by the 1970s office break room - think clementine orange shag carpets, bright coloured appliances and dusty blue suits drinking coffee. A collector colour to inspire you to put your feet up with your caffeine drink of choice, and cast on a colourful new project.
In our part of Canada, this time of year is all about the weather warming, the plants flowering and taking time to enjoy the calm before the hustle and bustle of summer starts. COMFORT ZONE is our newest collector colour, featuring soft peaches, warm tones of magenta and gentle pastels.
This colourway makes me want to set up some lawn furniture and pillows on the deck with a tea in hand - ready to crochet by the lilac bush in my backyard.

Our favourite thing about this time of year is the sudden explosion of beautiful markets everywhere! Holiday markets in the countryside near the Koigu farm as well as in our family’s cultural home Estonia, are merrily full of local artisans, cozy handicrafts, twinkle lights, mulled wine and fun in the snow!
Divya and Swaran of Michigan Fine Yarns came to the Koigu farm to visit last week to get inspired and show off their new gorgeous shawl they are launching - The Elliot Shawl!
This month’s collector colour is inspired by the colourful carefree days of childhood summer. You know those hazy hot days of summer where you seemed to just live in your bathing suit? Or the family camping trips where all your camping gear was colourful and you were surrounded by nature waiting to be explored?
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.
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!

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.
