Our artisans live throughout the United States - we work to bring their work to you, wherever you are. Every item we sell comes with a short biography about the artisan your purchase supports. Each season, we highlight four of our artisans here.

Sara traveled around the world working late night shifts at hotels, where she further perfectd her knitting skills in the quiet hours. She began selling her projects at craft fair, and her popularity as a knit goods designer took off.
