Knit proceeds will help design curriculum to explore business planning, distribution and e-commerce

A lot of effort and love goes into the knitting of the iconic Cowichan sweater, which is why it is imperative to ensure that the Indigenous artisans who create these authentic wearable art pieces receive a fair wage for their work.

“The Cowichan sweater is so much more than clothing,” said VNFC executive director Ron Rice. “It’s the passing down of culture, of telling stories and sharing traditions. It is this rich heritage that lives in every one of these sustainable treasures.” While they say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, that is not how Indigenous knitters of Cowichan sweaters felt when their handmade creations were copied, using similar designs and inauthentic material in the 1950s, all while stealing the Cowichan name. Authentic Cowichan sweaters are made by Coast Salish artisans, using mountain goat and Salish woolly dog wool to knit sacred patterns.
