We did help....
You might remember last winter when it was really really really cold and we were pretty worried about some of our vulnerable Edmontonians, those people living rough in our communities. Well we put out the word to our community and the response was overwhelming. We collected every penny from every sale between January and March and made three donations! The first one was to Hope Mission for $2000. The second one was to NiGiNan Housing Ventures for $3000. They are an Indigenous-led charity formed to address housing needs of people in Edmonton. And finally, we had enough left over to share $1475 with the YESS, Youth Empowerment and Support Services, located a couple of blocks from our work space. So, thank you to everyone for your love of woolly stuff!
jj wool company
In late November 2013, we began sewing mittens from recycled wool sweaters as a fund raiser for a once in a lifetime charity bike ride the following year. We reached our goal and then rode 1800 kms home from Haida Gwaii, BC with a custom carved totem pole, which you can now see at the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton. The demand for these mittens and the amount of fun we had creating these little works of art moved us, literally, and after much deliberation, we created the jj wool company!
But we haven’t just stood still… we continue to ride our bikes everywhere and are constantly inspired by the variety of gorgeous wool garments we've found. We've created a whole bunch of new clothing and accessories... from our ‘get your ass outside’ sweater skirts to the smallest of Dumpling pouches.
