About UsAt Knit Pickers PEI in beautiful Cavendish, we choose to celebrate local, natural, renewable products that are safe and healthy for us personally and for our environment. Every item in our studio is proudly Canadian! Our wool is sourced from Canadian farms, mills and indie dyers. Our knitting needles, looms and swifts are made in Canada. And, with waste wool from local farms, we create “Ewe Love to Garden Wool Pellets” to replace chemical fertilizers in your garden!

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. Living and working in rural PEI, the genesis of Ewe Love came from wanting to source a laundry product that would be safe for well and septic systems and would be gentle enough for fine washables. Their newest product line is wool pellets - a soil amendment for your garden that adds nutrients while reducing your need to water by approximately 25%, - all made from waste wool that would otherwise end up in landfill. Knit Pickers PEI is a proud member of Tourism Industry Association of PEI, the PEI Central Coastal Tourism Partnership, Cavendish Beach Tourism Association, the PEI Fibre Trail, the PEI Arts & Heritage Trail and Buy Canadian First. |
