Hidden in the hills of the North Okanagan, the Aberdeen Columns are a wall of spectacular geometric basalt rising above the Aberdeen Plateau. Formed from ancient volcanic activity, these lichen covered columns are a true wonder of nature.

Worked in squishy brioche rib, these simple fingerless mitts are the perfect accessory for chilly morning walks.
