Celebrating Indigenous Artists for Alaska Native & Native American Heritage Month & Barbara Lavallee is coming back!
Alaska is a Native place and November is Alaska Native & American Indian Heritage Month!
We are celebrating some some of the amazing Indigenous Designers and Artists whose works grace Cabin Fever along with some other seasonal items just in.
Fabric: InukChic Trim by Martha Kyak
We love Canadian Inuit Designer Martha Kyak’s InukChic’s trims. From beautiful florals and ulus to caribou and dog sleds, her designs celebrate Indigenous Arctic culture and lifestyle.
Fiber: Locally Dyed Tweed Yarns
It’s knitting season which means it’s time to pull out the yarn! We have both Alaskan Yarn Co. & our own Wooly Mammoth Tweed yarns online now. These beauties come in dozens of colors and are all hand dyed in small batches in Alaska.
Gifts: Trickster
Trickster is an indigenous owned design shop founded by siblings Rico and Crystal Worl that specializes in innovative indigenous design. We love their Alderwood earrings which are all hand made in Alaska.
Rico Worl famously designed the Raven Story stamp for the US Postal Service which Trickster now makes note cards. This is one of the many Trickster note cards we carry.
Fabric: Spring Majesty by Jessica Leigh Gokey
Jessica Leigh Gokey, master Ojibwe bead artist, designed a beautiful Spring Majesty fabric collection with Elizabeth’s Studio. We have taken it a step farther and put together this beautiful Spring Majesty Quilt Kit that center Gokey’s beautiful fabrics. You can find the whole collection on our website.
Fiber: Interchangable Knitting Needle Sets
Any knitter knows the frustration of trying to find the right length and needle size within their circular knitting needles. That’s why we love HiyaHiya Interchangable Knitting Needles. You can buy the parts as you need them or buy a set which comes with seven sizes of tips and four lengths of cables in a silk organizing case. The set has just about every size you will need and has a place for everything. The case is large enough to add additional needle tips and cables as well as point protectors and scissors.
Gifts: Felicity Loft Alaskan Teas
It’s definitely fall in Alaska. A cup of hot tea is helpful as we watch the termination dust come down the mountains (that’s snow for our non-Alaskan friends). Our friends at Felicity Loft have amazing teas curated in Soldotna, Alaska that are fit for an Alaskan winter.
