LUXE vs CLASSIC

LUXE LINE or CLASSIC LINE?   What's the difference?

The Luxe Line:

A collection of ready-to-ship toques hand knit with gorgeous, 100% natural fine Merino Wool or Peruvian Highland Wool. Each toque is finished with our ultra-leather tag and topped with our most luxurious handmade faux fur poms.  The multi-colored yarns are hand-dyed in small batches, which means each toque is one-of-a-kind.  We support small, artisan yarn dyers when possible, many of them Canadian.

Merino Wool Benefits:

Aside from being just about the softest wool out there, there are many reasons to choose Merino and Peruvian wool: 

  • The fibres we use are 100% natural, sustainable, and ethically sourced. They are biodegradable and won't harm our planet.
  • Merino wool is lightweight and keeps you warm without overheating you, regulating with your body temperature.  It is breathable, itch-free and naturally resists odor.  
  • Wool has more memory vs fibres containing acrylic, which means your knitted item will hold its shape the longest and give you the most wear.
  • Merino and Peruvian wool manage moisture better than other fibres and are comfortable in any weather condition.  They are the most dependable fibres when the only thing you can count on is a change in the weather - perfect for us here on the wet West Coast! 

Our Luxe Line includes chunky toques, medium weight toques, lighter-weight slouchy beanies, headbands, scarves and mittens.  Keep an eye on our Ready To Ship section for available Luxe Line items.  The majority of our RTS Luxe Line toques are adult size, but we are always happy to discuss custom orders for other sizes or matching sets!

The Classic Line

This is the yarn we started with, and it is still a popular option, especially for growing kids! Classic Line toques feature a premium blend of 80% synthetic Acrylic and 20% natural Wool fibres. This makes them soft, warm and durable, thanks to the added wool content. There is little fluctuation in color, so what you order via our custom order feature is what you get.  Classic Line Twist Headbands are made with a very soft, primarily 100% Acrylic yarn.

These yarns are more affordable, which means a lower price point for you.  Our Classic Line includes chunky toques with removable pom poms, as well as cowls, mitts, lighter-weight slouchy beanies and Twist Headbands.  Items are available ready to ship or by custom order.
