Too Legit to Knit

Granted Knitwear

Oh, Canada. It’s like all anyone wants you for are your ski slopes, cheap meds, and gravy fries.

And now we’re just taking you for Granted. The Vancouver-based knitwear company puts out handmade warmth using top-notch New Zealand wool.

Offerings range from leg warmers, mittens, and sweaters to bags, hats, and ponchos — all adorned with locally sourced trimmings taking shape as camels with palm trees, flamingos, or tribal masks (j’adore). Each piece is made to order, so expect to wait a few weeks for the sewers to finish your goods.

A word to the wise: Too much chunky merino does not a slimming statement make.

So be careful not to go overborder.
