ElfWorks Studio

Salt Spring Wooden Toys is an all natural line of wooden toys including trains, planes, a ferry boat, cars and trucks, toy fishing rods with fish and children's brooms. The wood is sanded to a fine finish, providing a smooth finish pleasant to the touch and free of splinters. All the toys have a non-toxic (food safe) finish (we have recently switched to 100% hemp oil also commonly used to finish wooden salad bowels and cutting boards). All the wheels are maple (a hard and durable wood) and are firmly attached with glue. They turn freely and easily providing a fully functioning play experience. Our aim is to create environmentally sustainable products by reclaiming and reusing wood left over from construction and other wood working projects that would have otherwise been burned or taken to landfill sites.

We have a great selection of hand knit and crocheted beanies and tuques for men and women as well as kids and babies. Made with all natural fibres in a whole variety of colours including one-of-a-kind hand-dyed yarns.

We also hand weave scarves & shawls from the finest yarns including merino wool, alpaca, cashmere, mohair, silk and more. We support our local yarn shops (LYS) as well as local yarn producers and independent hand-dyers.

Elfworks also creates one-of-a-kind cheese boards and serving platters made from hardwoods and finished with a beeswax paste, and growler carriers and bottle totes made from repurposed cedar boards.
