Visit the Indie Untangled blog every Friday, where we’ll list the shop updates, sales and events coming up that week. Sign up for the newsletter to have that list sent straight to your inbox.

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!
Most of you may know Katie (though you don’t know it).
Her official title is Social Media Coordinator, but really, she’s my girl Friday.
She’s the one I turn to to bounce ideas off of.
She helps me test new products and keeps me updated on all the news around the knitting world.
She’s the one to make sure all the pretty pictures and videos and tutorials get posted online for everyone to see.
And, unfortunately, she’s the one who ends up consoling sad friends on the internet when I click a wrong button and the website goes haywire. ???? (Sorry, Katie!)
Needless to say, if everyone had a Katie at their side, the world would be a MUCH better place. ????
Well, this weekend was Katie’s 30th birthday and we think that’s kind of a big deal.
I’ve been told in the past that adults shouldn’t really make a big deal of their birthdays anymore, but I think that’s utter hogwash.
I think that if you have a chance to celebrate someone awesome that you love, you should take it!
So we’re having a Birthday party in the shop for Katie.
But you get all the presents!
Katie has picked out some of her very favorite things for you and all week this week, you can get 20% off any of them by using the coupon code KATIESFAVS
How to get the discount:
1. Now through Friday, head on over to the website and see what’s on Katie’s favorites list
2. Use the code KATIESFAVS at checkout to save 20% on any of these items
A Tale by Edgar Allan Toe, well known party guy and author:
Once upon a midnight dreary, whilst I knit, eyes tired and bleary,
While I stitched, carefully counting, suddenly there came a shouting
My sock knitting interrupted, something loudly shouting at my door,
“Yo! Let us in! We’re here to party!”
Okay, you see where we were going with that, right? It’s the Edgar Allan Toe Party Pack! Here to liven up your socks and projects during this season of spookiness. The Edgar Allan Toe Party Packs are here in both Alcott (sock weight) and Hawthorne (DK). These packs contain 10 mini hanks in gorgeous colors with 3 coordinated stitch markers. Better hurry. We’ve got limited quantities and once they are gone, they are Nevermore, Lenore!
We’re still celebrating Socktober with Socktivities like Socktastic Saturday, October 14th at Needleworks, our community crafting space in Winter Park, FL. If you’re in the neighborhood, bring a project and hang out with fiber friends.
Did you see the adorable Halloweenie Cowl by Noemi Zimmer? It’s our spooky season project and we have amazing kits in brights and darks. Adorable!
We’ve also got Cute Cranky Pumpkin kits for you to make! These delightfully colored hand cranked sock tubes with our downloadable directions will magically craft into beautifully handmade pumpkins for your home. ‘Tis the Season!
We’ve got plenty of gorgeous sock sets for you in many bases and colors–something for everyone!
And talk about gorgeous: Midori Sour is in the shop and green lovers can rejoice! This beautiful green variegated yarn is available on several bases and even mini hanks. We love it with gold and even some red to take a holiday spin.
Now is the time to prepare for #NaCroKniSweMo—National Crochet/Knit a Sweater Month! We are hosting our annual Make-A-Long and we’d love for you to join us. You can choose your favorite sweater pattern or choose from the sweater we are making. We’ve even got kits.
Spinners did you see the sneak preview last week? You’ll be happy to see us at Indie Untangled where we debut our Fiber Braids! Come visit us at the Olive & Two Ewe Studios booth at Indie Untangled later this month. We are so excited to vend at this incredible show of indie dyers!
Last but not least, we’re live on our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, every Saturday morning at 9:30AM Eastern time. Grab your coffee or tea, your yarn, and let’s have a great time together!
Fiber friends are the best friends! Thanks for being a part of our yarn community, and we’ll be back next week for more updates and adventures!
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.
