Crafting Tradition with Newfoundland Wool and Knits
Helmed by artisan Veronica Bavis, Skivvers is more than just a craft shop; it's a testament to the artistry of Newfoundland's knitting tradition. With a dedicated focus on knitted goods and woolen items, Veronica meticulously transforms raw wool into exquisite creations. She blends locally foraged plants into her dyeing process, infusing each piece with the essence of Newfoundland's rugged landscape.
Skivvers doesn't just showcase Veronica's own work; it also serves as a platform for fellow artisans, offering a curated selection of handcrafted goods. Through wholesale partnerships with craft retailers and participation in regional markets and shows, Veronica shares her passion for knitting with a wider audience. Operating seasonally, Skivvers becomes an active demonstration studio during the tourist season, inviting visitors to witness the artisan at work.

The products
Skivvers is a well-established company recognized for the quality of its boutique products. Each piece tells a story, weaving together generations of skill and passion. Embrace the warmth of tradition, the beauty of craftsmanship, and the essence of authenticity!
