Welcome to PurpleSage Designs!
In
the beautiful Annapolis region of Nova Scotia, Canada, South Mountain ~
Naturally abides in an early 1800's
homestead nestled among lakes,
trees and dragonflies (we won't mention the bears!). Here PurpleSage knits, crochets, sews, quilts
and plays with fibre. Happiness abounds!!
Yarns
All of our designs incorporate natural and/or organic yarns or blends (blends -- because some natural fibres need a little help to serve us well). Bamboo ~
Organic Cotton ~ Hemp ~ Linen ~ Silk ~ Soy ~ Wool ~ Fibre Blends
Our favourite LYS
(local yarn store): Gaspereau
Valley Fibres Farm Wool Shop just outside of Wolfville, Nova Scotia. A yarn shop that supports local as well as fair
trade artisans -- and what a selection for knitters, crocheters, spinners and
weavers!
Free Treats
There
are free technique and tutorial brochures and some free patterns. The links at the right give you access to
all the goodies!
