All yarns are carefully sourced: organic alpaca from Pennsylvania, organic cotton from California, and wool/silk and organic wool yarns from one of the oldest remaining textile mills in the United States. The hunt for responsibly-harvested cashmere brought Kenlynn to Mongolia where she hand selected cashmere and camel yarn processed after direct collection from nomadic families.

In addition to ONE OF Collection, Kenlynn founded Embodies, a boutique in Marin, California, dedicated to showcasing fellow designers who have a sustainability story and produce their products in the USA.  Her background is diverse: professional ballet dancer, industrial design student at RISD, textile student of traditional handicraft and practitioner of integrative body mechanics. It all shows through in her knitwear.

Much of her work is hand-formed, unglazed porcelain that she sands between firings to create a sea-shell-smooth finish. For her, the feel of the work is as important as its form.  She prefers to reveal the natural skin of the clay and the remnants of human touch, rather than to cover the clay with glaze. Most of her work is nonfunctional, with the exception of a limited collection of porcelain-and-leather jewelry.
