The founders of Thread and Maple are two ladies from Canada, namely Samantha Perrault and Olga Paskalenko. Living in Montreal, Sam is a pro knitter and also owns the knitting shop Scumptious Purl. Olga is a native of Ukraine but is now a Candian citizen. Olga started knitting when she was eight but now also has a computer and IT background.
Sam had been nursing the idea of expanding into knitting accessories for a while. Olga was determined to leave her corporate career and pursue a more creative path. Through a serendipitous series of events, the two found themselves chatting into the wee hours of the night about what they could build together.
Those calls quickly produced an outpouring of feverish sketches of product designs, all aimed to create elegant solutions to integrate the knitting craft (and all its chaotic mess) into the home with function and style. And thus, Thread and Maple was born.
Thread and Maple are one of our most popular products, handcrafted by a women-owned small business based in Montreal, Canada. All products are thoughtfully designed and handcrafted by makers for makers, including quality knitting tools, organisers, project bags and accessories for lovers of the craft.
The look and feel of these premium leather products are both beautiful and a joy to use as well as useful. With care, a handcrafted Thread and Maple product can last a lifetime!
Located in Pembrokeshire Wales, our ethos is defined in the three words...
