Joe Bear

Fresh from his bath at the end of the rainbow, here is Joe bear!

Made with scrumdillyicious acrylic yarn in all the colours of the rainbow, Joe goes with any outfit and any decor. Especially that Dreamcoat at the back of the closet.

He is a one-of-a-kind hand-knit bear made with acrylic yarn. His eyes and nose are vintage recycled buttons. A bit of multi-colour double-sided ribbon adorns his neck, tied in a playful bow. He was knit with as much love as I could possibly put into him.

He stands: 17 inches tall.
He's sized: One size fits all hugs.

If he ends up out playing in the mud in your backyard and needs a bath, he can be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth.

Because of his button eyes and nose, we don't recommend him for children under 5 years of age.

If Joe matches the clothes you're wearing right now (and we bet he does), why not check him out on Etsy by clicking this post's title?

Felted Rocky Bear

Here is Rocky, our first all-felted bear!

With a bit of mischievous raccoon in him, Rocky is a felted bear who is all set to steal a lady's heart.

He is a one-of-a-kind hand-knit felted bear made with 100% wool yarn. His eyes and nose are vintage recycled buttons. A bit of finely striped ribbon adorns his neck, tied in a playful bow. He was knit with as much love as I could possibly put into him.

He stands: 17 inches tall.
He's sized: One size fits all hugs.

If he ends up out playing in the mud in your backyard and needs a bath, he can be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth.

Because of his button eyes and nose, we don't recommend him for children under 5 years of age.

Steamboat Billy Bear

Our first felted bear is now up on our Etsy shop! He certainly won't be the last...

Looking as if he's stepped out of an old-timey black-and-white cartoon of yesteryear, Steamboat Billy is looking to bring some nostalgic hollywood magic to your home!

He is a one-of-a-kind hand-knit bear made with a combination of wool and acrylic yarn. His head, body, arms and legs are felted wool, which gives him a unique, smoother look than a traditionally knit bear. His eyes and nose are vintage recycled buttons. A bit of translucent black ribbon adorns his neck, tied in a playful bow. He was knit with as much love as I could possibly put into him.

He stands: 17 inches tall.
He's sized: One size fits all hugs.

If he ends up out playing in the mud in your backyard and needs a bath, he can be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth.

Because of his button eyes and nose, we don't recommend him for children under 5 years of age.

If you feel compelled to take him home, please click the post title to visit him on Etsy.

Big Blue Barn Knit Thrummed Slippers

We've now posted our slippers on Etsy! They're some of the warmest slippers you may ever own!

These unique slippers are 100% Alberta made wool inside and out. The thrumming makes a very warm and soft interior to keep your feet nice and toasty on those chilly nights. A drawstring helps keep the slippers on by snugging up to your ankles.

The sole of the slippers are knit with two strands of nylon thread to help reduce wear-and-tear. The addition of 3 'B's painted on the bottom gives the slippers a safe non-slip grip.

When ordering, please refer to the photo of the yarn colour swatch. Choose one of the colours of yarn to be the predominent slipper colour. Choose a roving colour of white, brown, or black for your accent and interior colour. Include this information along with your shoe size with your order and we will create your custom slippers.
