Collection: Kootenay Knit

The Kootenay Knit & Apparel story began in 1994 in the East Kootenays, a location in beautiful British Columbia, Canada with breathtaking views, magnificent mountain ranges, lush green valleys, endless rushing rivers and crystal clear lakes. The area hosts an abundance of outdoor activities for every season including skiing, snowboarding, biking, golfing, fishing and hiking. Owner, Cathy Rella began with her flair for design and creativity to start a uniquely Canadian headwear and knitwear business. As a Canadian, woman-owned business, in 2018 we became certified with Women Business Enterprises Canada Council which supports, develops and enhances diversity program opportunities.
