Folk Festival - Collector Colour

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.

Terra Futura - Collector Colour

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.

Rococo - Collector Colour

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.

Mocha Mousse - Collector Colour

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.

Canada Day 150 at Koigu

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.
