On January 30th, our website will be closed for pattern sales in solidarity with the USA nationwide shutdown in protest of the Trump administration’s horrendous immigration repressive action and extreme operations and murders carried out by ICE in Minneapolis.

We are Canadian designers, however we rely on American platforms and e-commerce sites such as Paypal, Ravelry and Squarespace to make sales, so we are participating in the strike to help strengthen the impact of the shutdown. The quieter these sites are, the louder the message will be that we are not okay with the harm being inflicted on immigrant communities.

American friends, please be safe <3.
