About

In 2023, Skookum is new- and we hope a powerful draw as it is our first yarn dyed fabric which naturally hides stains - although we are now convinced of the safety of use of the first Oeko-Tex 100 certified stain repellant spray for fabric (It only took 9 years to convince us!). Contact us for details!

Why choose us?

We've done the work for you

Over the years, Patty and Leigh Anne dedicated tons of time researching ethical and sustainable production—how it’s done, and what the implications are to us (and to all living things)  and to our planet.  They even put it in their mission statement, a goal “to change the way textiles are being made” – kind of a reach for such an upstart little company, right?
