As the year winds down and we start to think about cozying up on the sofa with a new WIP, I’m thrilled share the WoolNeedleThread Holiday Collection with you! It’s a capsule collection of sweet winter-themed project bags, stitch markers, and handbags celebrating short days and winter joy. I hope they’ll add a touch of magic to your holiday crafting.

Why Choose a WoolNeedleThread Project Bag?

-Handcrafted Elegance: Each bag is one of a kind and meticulously handmade with love and attention to detail. Many of the holiday bags feature a bit of sparkly hand beading to brighten the darkest winter days.

-Festive Designs: Embrace the holiday spirit with our exclusive festive designs. Among the fabrics I’ve chosen are hard-to-find prints imported from Germany with gorgeously illustrated winter motifs.

-Practical and Gorgeous: I design my bags to be functional as well as beautiful. All have interior pockets, waxed bases, and handy rings for your small tools and stitch markers.

The Perfect Gift for your Yarn-y Friends!

Have you ever stopped to really add up all the time it takes you to bring a project from idea to finished object? It’s a lot, even for small projects. I want every moment of that time to be joyous, right from the moment you pick up your project. Your project bag sits beside you as you work, it hangs on your arm or doorknob or sits on your desk… wouldn’t it be nice if every time you saw it you thought to yourself, “Ooh! That is so pretty!” That’s what WoolNeedleThread bags do. They’re functional, full of pockets and a stitch marker holder, with a water-resistant waxed canvas base and a closure to keep your precious projects protected. But they’re also beautiful, and each one is one of a kind, just like your projects. They’re a perfect gift for the makers in your life, including the most knit-worthy of all: YOU! There are lots of styles and sizes ready to ship today. Even better: small items like stitch marker sets are discounted with a larger order (you’ll find all the details in the product listing). Please visit my website to see what’s available — this very small, handmade business appreciates your support!

BIG news from Factory Girl!!!! We are launching a quarterly subscription box and preorders for Box #1 are open now!

Treat yourself or your favorite knitting friend to a little magic with a box curated with the Factory Girl’s favorite things. Discover new products, indie dyers, and more! Each quarter is inspired by a closeup of a beautiful flower image (seen in the photos).

What’s included?
* An exclusive knitting pattern with coordinating hand-dyed yarn
* An array of curated items from the Factory Girl’s favorite makers — these may be tools, gift items, decor, food/drink, and more. (PS – I am SO excited for this first box… it’s SOOO hard to keep it a secret!!!! ????)

And more:
* There will be opportunities to add on special items or to customize some selections (January has a custom Factory Girl Candle add-on)
* Boxes will ship the first week of the new quarter beginning in January 2024
* Opportunities to purchase additional items featured in the box for your friends or more yarn for future projects
* Join other subscribers for an online Maker Meet-up following the release of each box

We will have a KAL each quarter for the pattern with online Knit-Nights, giveaways and more fun!

Purchase Options:
* Buy for the year, half year or just one at a time (discounts for half-year and full-year options)
* Quarter: This is a purchase of one box for the current quarter — Cost is $85 + USPS shipping
* Half-Year: This is for the purchase of two boxes; they will ship concurrently. If you purchase in October, your boxes will ship in January and April. Cost is $150 + USPS shipping.
* Full-Year: This is for the purchase of four boxes, one box per quarter. Cost is $275 + USPS shipping.

Order early as there are a limited number of spots each quarter. The first box will ship the first week of January 2024 (preorders for each quarter will open 45 days in advance).

The Factory Girl Maker’s Boxes are a great way to bring together new businesses, indie dyers, designers, and makers… expand on our community and meet new friends. Each box is curated with unique products that you will not find easily every day. Each box will be a discovery of new products, ones you may have seen but have not been able to find at a local shop, and maybe an item or two you are familiar but have learned something new about. I can’t wait to bring these to you and spend time with each Maker’s Box recipient sharing all the things and making together!

Knitting Tote Bags

I am a nurse from Kansas and started to paint during the pandemic as a form of stress relief. I decided to start selling my art online through Art Storefronts in November 2022. If you sign up for my newsletter you will receive 20% off your first purchase. I send out newsletters when new artwork and collections are released.

The tote bags are cotton canvas and come in three sizes 13×13 inches, 16×16 inches, and 18×18 inches. The design will be printed on the front and back. The totes are great for carrying projects or multiple small project bags. They also work great as a shopping bag or purse according to my customers.

As a way of giving back, 5% of my sales go to Envision Art Gallery in Wichita, Kansas, the nation’s first permanent art gallery made by and for artists who are blind or visually impaired or disabled.

The heat has finally broken here in southeast Texas. I couldn’t be more ready! Of course I’m stash diving and planning all the sweaters I’m going to start knitting. My shop is full of gorgeous project bags for your next sweatah weathah project, too! As always, each is fully lined, has a waxed canvas base, and comes with pockets and a ring for your stitch markers and small tools. Some have drawstring closures and others have magnetic snaps, some are made with repurposed fabric samples rescued on their way to the landfill, and all of them are beautiful! Each is handmade entirely by me and ships within three business days. I’ve also made pretty stitch marker sets and adorable zipper bags — perfect for yourself or gift giving. Please come and have a look, and join my email list to have exclusive early access to new products. Happy Sweater Weather!

A Woolen Yarn Box is an all immersive yarny experience! Complete with amazing one-of-a-kind colorways, charms, mystery extra goodies, bags and accessories, an 8oz. Candle, lanolin lotion bar or wool wash bar — these boxes have it ALL!

Each month your box is themed to a place where you’ll be “visiting”… from the comfort of your home, of course. The scents of the lotion bars, wool wash, and candle smell just like where you’ll adventure to! The colors will transport you to far away places, familiar spots, or perhaps somewhere out of this world. SamsTinyTrinkets hand crafts one-of-a-kind charms not available anywhere other than our boxes. If that’s not enough, these boxes have an accessory included, ranging from a project bag, notions holders, needle cases and more! To top it all off, we include a pattern code for you and some extra fun gifts so you have EVERYTHING you need to take your yarny adventure.

Crocheters!! We didn’t forget you! Leave a note in your order for a thicker yarn base and a crochet pattern and we will make sure your box gets those.

Subscribe today only on WoolenWomenFiber.com to start your yarny adventures. November’s walk in the woods-themed box is available now for a short while longer. Our December Nordic Winter box will be available starting October 25th.
