Feature Friday: Wooly Maple

Happy Friday London! We've made it through another week.  As promised, I wrote that I had something fun to offer you for Friday's blog, and here it is!  Every Friday I will be featuring a local business that I love, and want to share with all of you - from baby goods, to baked goods, you'll find a description of the business here, and hopefully you'll go check it out sometime for yourself!

Our first feature business is a great Canadian, London-based company called "Wooly Maple," owned and operated by Ashley Burt.  This little gem specializes in gorgeous hand-crafted (mainly crocheted) items, like toques, infinity scarves, mitts and those super popular bun-hats. Ashley makes these all herself, so each piece is unique and original for each customer. Every piece is tagged with her own hand-stamped logo.  I've seen these in person myself and they are gorgeous.  Not only that, but they have a distinctly "Canadian" feel, which makes me want to buy them even more (who doesn't want a red and black plaid toque?).

Ashley's products can be found in boutiques across London.  Namely, LoveLeigh Boutique (located downtown on Richmond row) and For You Clothing Co.  (Old East Village).  You can also catch her online on her Wooly Maple facebook page and message her if you have a custom order or any questions about the products.

Ashley is also expanding her line by offering her patterns to customers that want to give crocheting a go themselves, using the signature "Wooly Maple" style.  Not only will she offer patterns, but also a crochet class too! Awesome :)

For more details and to check out all of Ashley's products, please go to the Wooly Maple facebook page, and go to the retailers that sell her product line to pick up a toque or two.  You'll be so glad you did! (Ps. isn't that business name just oh-so Canadian-ly awesome?)

Have a great day, London.
