Thread & Maple

With all Thread & Maple products we hold a small amount of stock (growing it all the time). If we are currently out of stock your order may take up to three weeks to send.

Thread & Maple is the brainchild of long-time friends Samantha Perrault and Olga Paskalenko. Sam is a pro knitter and founder of Scrumptious Purl (now run by her mom, Stephanie, who is also our Operations Manager!). Olga is a techie serial start-up starter, but seldom finisher - until now!

Sam had been nursing the idea of expanding into knitting accessories for years. Olga was determined to leave her corporate career and pursue a more creative path. Through a serendipitous series of events, the two found themselves chatting into the wee hours of the night about what they could build together.

Those calls quickly produced an outpouring of feverish sketches of product designs, all aimed to create elegant solutions to integrate the knitting craft (and all its chaotic mess) into the home with function and style. And thus, during a late-night phone call in November of 2019, Thread & Maple was conceived. And after months of designing, testing, sourcing, and planning, we opened our virtual doors in July of 2020.

Now, Olga is running T&M solo, as Sam stepped away to focus on her growing family. The two remain very close friends and their paths inextricably cross, with Sam's mom running T&M's operations, keeping it in the family!
