Shot on Bowen Island, Vancouver, at Endwell’s Farm — a Pacific Northwest mirror of Portland’s own backyard.

At its heart, this campaign is about slowing down to reconnect — with nature, with friends, and with the act of making. Connective Collaboration honors the quiet, powerful relationships that shape our work: the conversation between knitter and yarn, light and landscape.

Bowen Island, with its moss-covered hush and soft Pacific light, mirrors the spirit of Portland — wooded, wild, and close-knit. Set at Endwell’s Farm, the collection unfolds at a slower pace, grounded in shared meals, quiet laughter, and the steady joy of making together.

Each design carries the imprint of more than one hand. We celebrate not only the bond between designer and maker, but the deeper lineage of craft passed down over time, from one knitter to the next, from seasoned hands to newcomers just learning the rhythm of the stitch.

Brise (pronounced as “breeze”) evokes lightness, ease, and natural elegance, just like the yarn itself. This yarn invites a shift in perception: cotton that’s not stiff or dry, but fluid, refined, and a true pleasure to knit.

A top-down cardigan in reversed stockinette stitch, this piece embodies clean lines and quiet detail. Subtle ribs frame the drop shoulders and button band, offering a gentle contrast in texture. With an easy, relaxed fit, it layers effortlessly over a tank or can be worn open for an understated, laid-back look. Shop Crippen Cardigan in NEW Brise B01 (shell)

The essential spring-summer tank—light, effortless, and endlessly versatile. Knit entirely top-down, it features a deep V-neck with overlapped ribbing and wide arm openings.

This is the quintessential warm-weather piece: throw it on and go, or dress it up with minimal effort. For a closer fit, consider sizing down to reduce ease.

A subtle side slit adds movement and comfort. Designed for warm days and easy layering, it can be worn on its own or over a camisole for added coverage.

Makers consistently noted its astonishing softness, buoyant bounce, airy feel, and smooth hand. It offers all the best qualities of cotton, breathability and smoothness, elevated by the unparalleled softness, springy, and stitch definition of our signature Ultimate Merino.

A refined staple with soft structure and elegant ease, this Brise sweater features a saddle shoulder construction with flowing ribs that travel seamlessly from the neckline through the sleeves. A folded turtleneck adds a sculptural element at the collar, while two body length options, cropped to hit just at the waist or a slightly longer fit, allow for personalized styling.

Designed to highlight the airy drape of Brise, this piece balances modern simplicity with quiet, thoughtful detail, perfect for crisp fall days, chilly spring evenings, or any season in between.
