Four Designers. Four Dyers. One Cause
20% of every purchase supports breast cancer research
For the 6th annual Knit for the Girls fundraiser, we asked four of our favorite designers to team up with four incredible indie dyers and create something you won't find anywhere else: original patterns paired with limited-edition colorways, made exclusively for this year's collection.
Each pairing brings together a designer's vision and a dyer's palette — created by artists who wanted to lend their craft to a cause that's touched so many of us.
The full collection launches on October 1st, 2026. Scroll down to meet each collaboration
