Hand-knit Chunky Blankets -

The Colourblock Collection

Bold, hand-knit statement blankets — named for the women who inspired them.

Meet the Colourblock Collection — our boldest, most colourful chunky knit blankets, each one hand-knit from start to finish in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. Where most of our blankets whisper, these ones make a statement: rich colour pairings, oversized stitches, and the kind of weight that makes a room feel instantly cozier.

Every design is named after a woman who's inspired us along the way — a customer, a fellow small-business owner, a friend, a teammate. So when you wrap up in one, you're not just adding a beautiful decor piece to your home. You're carrying a little story with it.

Hand-knit to order. Made for the moments that matter. Starting at $85.

Neutral chunky knit blanket

The Emma

A true labour of love, hand-knit with meticulous attention to every stitch. The Emma is named after a special shopper we met at the One of a Kind Show, where it became a fast favourite — and it's been one ever since.

The Olivia

Chic, cozy, and quietly luxurious. The Olivia is a chunky knit that works as easily draped over a sofa as it does wrapped around you on a cold night. Named for the daughter of Michelle, owner of Little Red Bake Shop, it makes a heartfelt gift — or a well-earned treat for yourself.

The Penny

A true labour of love. Each Penny is knit entirely by hand, with the kind of attentive craftsmanship and uncompromising quality you notice the moment you touch it. Simple, soulful, and thoughtfully made to last for years.

The Vanessa

Bold in colour and big on personality — just like its namesake. Vanessa is a lover of bags, a devoted dog mom to Duke, and a fierce supporter of small, local businesses. As a new Mom, behavioural analyst, and advocate for autism and children's rights, she inspired a design with real warmth behind it.

Neutral chunky knit blanket

The Amber

Made for the storytellers and the small-business champions. Amber — our namesake — is a coffee connoisseur with an eye for design, a love of handmade things, and a gift for social media (she's a valued part of our team). This blanket carries all of that energy: rich, characterful, and made to be noticed.

Neutral chunky knit blanket

The Katie

Your go-to for any spot in the home. The Katie is the versatile one — a colour story designed to slip seamlessly into your existing decor. Named for Katie of Captured by KP, a branding superstar, lover of all things black, and tireless cheerleader for female-founded businesses.

Care Instructions

Good news: Our blankets are meant to be lived in

  • Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle. Pop it in a large mesh laundry bag or wash on its own to protect the loops.

  • Detergent: Use a small amount of mild detergent. Skip the fabric softener, it can dull the yarn's plush texture.

  • Dry: Lay flat to dry, reshaping gently. Avoid high heat.

  • Refresh between washes: Spot-clean small spills with a little cold water, and give it a gentle shake to fluff the loops back up.

  • Pro tip: Wash dark colours separately the first time, just in case.
