Kenlynn Wilson hand produces each piece of knitwear for her line, ONE OF Collection, on non-mechanized knitting looms. The goal is to design beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces that are sustainably made and of impeccable quality.
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.

MAKESHIFT @ The Standard Talks
05.16.2012
Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and came out last night for MAKESHIFT at the Standard Talks. On behalf of myself and all of the panelists, we appreciate everyone’s enthusiastic response to MAKING.
It was a beautiful evening. As a group, we crafted a song and sang together , finger-knitted, and shared our ‘worn stories.’ Throughout the day, we will share some of our MAKESHIFT moments here.
Andrew Wagner, our charismatic MC, led the discussion at The Standard Talks. His team at Krrb created an accompanying video of the participants, which played throughout the evening as we discussed our work and how MAKING is an integral part of all creative, design, and fashion industries.
Check back today as we continue to recap the night.
Comment with your ideas and thoughts, and use #MAKESHIFT2012 across social media platforms to continue the conversation.
Again, thank you to all of our panelists and guests. Look for much more to come from MAKESHIFT this week!
