Kerri Westlake
Westlake Designs
As a child, I spent most of my time dressed in a
pioneer costume in my log cabin playhouse in the backyard. While my
friends played with Pogs and Barbies, I’d make ink from lamp black and
walnut shells, churn butter and grow wheat. My grandma gave me my first
knitting lesson at six. Today, though I’ve tried many other things, from
pastry-chefing to painting movie sets, I still find I’m happiest when
I’m close to the garden. When I’m not tending to my edibles and
flowers, I have found fulfillment as the creator, designer and knitter
behind Westlake. I hand-dye natural fibre yarns in steaming pots of
custom-mixed colour and use skills rooted in tradition to produce
thoughtfully-crafted wearables. Inspired by the challenge of a medium
seen as old-fashioned, I design simple, chic pieces for the modern
wanderer who still has a wool-clad toe in the past. The soft yarns and
muted neutrals and jewel-tones of my colour palette recall nature,
enveloping the wearer in the shelter of the garden, even as they step
into icy streets.
