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!

Don’t delay — head on over to our website to sign up for classes and get your admission tickets.

We can't wait to share our take on a Mystery Yarn Advent kit with you! This year's theme is Holiday Mix Tape, and it's all inspired by our family's favorite holiday music. Turning on the holiday music while we decorate, wrap gifts, bake cookies, and spend time together is a huge part of the season for us and I want to share some of that with you. Each colorway is inspired by a different holiday tune, and the entire box vibe is inspired by those mix tapes I used to make in years past.

Preorders close soon for the Jilly & Kiddles 2021 Advent Box. This box will ship to be received in November 2021, so you will have it to start opening on Dec 1st. Your Advent Box will have everything you need for a holiday season full of Fibery Fun!

Advent Box includes:

– 24 Mini skeins the the base of your choosing, one to open each day, starting Dec 1st through Dec 24th.
– Exclusive xix tape-inspired project bag
– Extra surprises from me to open on days of your choosing or all at once – all themed, of course!
– U.S. shipping is Free!
– Each item will arrive individually wrapped for you, and the minis will be marked with the date to be opened. It's like getting a special surprise gift every day during Advent–isn't that fun?
– You'll receive access to my Holiday Mix Tape playlist so you can listen along too!

Want to join me on this festive trip down memory lane? Order yours today so you don't miss out. Photos of yarn and goodies are examples of last year's box to give you an idea of what could be included — please keep in mind that this year's box will be completely different and is a mystery. That's part of the fun!

The summer heat is here! And while we are big believers in getting ahead on winter knitting in summer months, we get that a worsted, wool yarn can be a bit much!

With that in mind, we put together a list of our favorite summer products. They're perfect for hot days, summer outfits, and poolside projects.

Let me tell you a bit about each one!

1. Gothfarm Yarn Tshirt (S – 2XXL): Made from 100% cotton and screen-printed locally in Austin, Texas, our Gothfarm Yarn tshirts are a perfect way to show your love of indie yarn when out and about. Goes great with BBQs and camping trips.

2. Aten: Our yarn Aten is laceweight and made from 100% undyed Muga silk. The naturally golden silk catches the summer sun, adding a wonderful shine to your finished objects. Try carrying it along with cotton yarn to add a marled effect to your warm-weather knits.

3. Summer Clutch (pattern): This one is for the weavers! The Gothfarm Yarn Summer Clutch is a simple weaving pattern that uses a single skein of our yarn Kaolin on a cotton warp. This elegant clutch is great for casual outings or formal affairs. It's been my go-to bag for summer weddings for years!

4. Veggie Ivory Buttons (set of 4): These buttons are the perfect finishing touch on any handmade garment. The buttons are carved from tagua nuts, a material known as "vegetable ivory" due to its color and durability. You can keep the buttons creamy white or dye them whatever color you like.

5. Gothfarm Yarn tote bag: Use it to carry WIPs and/or beach towels. The tote is made from canvas and screen-printed locally in Austin, Texas.

6. Muskeg: We love summer sock knitting for its portability and ease. Our yarn Muskeg is one of our top sock picks due to its blend of Rambouillet Merino wool and mohair, which give the yarn durability and spring. Like all our yarns, Muskeg is undyed. The beautiful soil brown shade comes directly from the fiber. Looking for a lighter color? Try our yarn Arkose instead. It's the same weight, made from similar materials, and a blushing white hue.

That's it for now! Stay cool & knit/crochet/weave on.

Preorders are open for the 2021 December Fiber Advents. Two themes to choose from this year. Each advent will include 24 small packages and one large package of fiber for a total of 10 oz of ready to spin or felt fiber, plus a couple non-fiber surprises. Spin, felt or craft your way through December!

Subscriptions are open for the Fiber Club inspired by Star Gate. This club will include 3 releases of fiber and handmade polymer clay buttons. Subscriptions close June 1.

New for 2021 – Spa Day CSA. This non-fiber CSA is an assortment of handmade soaps, moisturizers, and a spa cloth. The soaps and moisturizers are handmade in small batches in the studio and all items are made with no added fragrances. This would be a wonderful treat for yourself or gift for that special person.

See the Wild Hair Studio Etsy shop for full details.

Buttons add functionality and style to every garment. Our vegetable ivory buttons do that while serving as a sustainable alternative to plastic buttons.

Each button is carved from tagua, a nut known for its resemblance to ivory both in look and feel. The nuts are produced by a type of palm tree native to rainforests in Central and South America and have long been used as an animal friendly substitute for ivory.

We offer two types of vegetable ivory buttons: Solid white and spotted. (The spotting is due to natural color variations found in the raw tagua material.) But if you fancy a different color, vegetable ivory is still a great choice. The tagua nut material is full of microscopic pores and will easily soak up dye.

Our buttons come in a pack of four and vary slightly in shape and size. In general, each one is about the size of a quarter.

Vegetable ivory’s good looks and durability made it a popular button material before plastics. Today, these buttons serve as a unique, environmentally friendly, and eye-catching choice!

Our buttons are made in a tagua workshop in Ecuador that primarily employs young women, allowing them to earn money while staying in school or supporting their families.

This Sunday at 2:30 p.m. EDT, I will be hosting a Facebook Live event debuting new spring shawl pins, earrings, and stitch markers. See magnetic shawl pins “in action,” learn how our shawl pins can be used as accents on silk scarves, and receive special gifts with purchase!

It’s all happening right here.

Hope to “see” you Sunday!

Our Hidden Gems base is a soft and scrumptious blend of 80% Superwash Merino and 20% bamboo fingering weight yarn with 436 yards per 100 gram skein and is one of our top selling yarns. It was featured in the Seed Club from Yarn Garden (Charlotte, MI) in the colorway “Garden Party.” The kit with the “Succulent Spikes” pattern by Lindsay Potter is available on our website with your choice of yarn color and cute little buttons to finish off your beautiful rectangle shawl.

Hidden Gems is an excellent yarn for any fingering weight pattern, especially for cowls and scarves as it is soft and squishy. The bamboo in the yarn lends to a unique coloring as it does not pick up the dye like the merino, giving it softer shades in areas. We have many colors to choose from in our online shop. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries!

Pantone color of the Year for 2021 is a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of Ultimate Gray + Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of color that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.

These one-of-a-kind artist pieces have a depth and colors which must be seen in person to be truly appreciated. They are made from hand cut and forged copper that is then hand painted with alcohol inks and glazed for a high gloss finish. Pictures just don’t do them justice. Each one is signed and numbered. Made by hand in Ohio.

MAB Elements shawl pins are perfect for keeping you shawl in place with style, but also so much more. Wear on your winter coat, sweater, hat, cowl, you name it!
