Who We Are |
Margaret is a knitter and weaver. Her knitwear designs are inspired by the beauty of the PEI landscape. She is the designer of the new MacEachern tartan which is now registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans. Margaret has made a choice to knit and weave using only wool from sheep raised in Canada and that is manufactured in Canada.
Margaret is passionate about fostering creativity. She offers workshops for all ages - from 5 to 105 years old! Learning to make something with your own hands inspires confidence and is proven to be beneficial to your health. Catherine is an accomplished landscape photographer with a background in the retail fashion industry. They collaborate to create the Ewe Love line of bath and body products. Living and working in rural PEI, the genesis of Ewe Love came from wanting to create a 100% natural laundry product that would be safe for well and septic systems and would be gentle enough for fine washables. They also create jewellery and home decor items including a Christmas collection. Knit Pickers PEI is a proud member of Culture PEI, Artisan PEI, the PEI Central Coastal Tourism Partnership and Buy Canadian First. |
