About

Welcome to Bear House Knits! My name is Ashley, and I’m a wife, stay-at-home mother, and the creative mind behind this small business.

As a proud First Nations woman, my roots run deep in tradition, craftsmanship, and the love of creating something meaningful. Both my grandmother and great-grandmother were respected and skilled knitters within my community, and I am proud to carry on this tradition.

I have a BBA in Business Administration and a post-degree in Accounting, and have gained valuable experience working in various industries, including retail and public accounting. But my true passion revealed itself a few years ago when I discovered the joy of knitting.

Knitting quickly became more than just a hobby—it sparked a deeper curiosity about the materials I was working with. That’s when I fell in love with the art of yarn dyeing. Bear House Knits was born out of a desire to combine my love of colour, texture, and creativity with my entrepreneurial spirit.

Every skein of yarn I dye is crafted with care and thoughtfulness, inspired by the beauty around me and the stories I want to tell through fiber. Whether you’re knitting socks, shawls, or heirloom pieces, I hope my yarn brings as much joy to your crafting as it does to my creating.

Thank you for supporting my small business—it means the world to me and my family!
