A few weeks ago I asked you all what you would like to see in the shop for fall and OVERWHELMINGLY you told me that you wanted to see leaves!
Big billowing piles of leaves.
In ALL the colors.
In ALL the shapes.
And I’m here to tell you today that they have arrived!!
You’re one click away from…
– Free Festive Patterns
– Gorgeous new stitch markers
– Delightful row counters
– Adorable new charms
– And even a little Halloween magic ????
We’ve got a new colorway this week and it’s spectacular! Harvest Moon has all the colors of autumn in one beautiful hank. Such a beautiful fall palette that’s been building over the past few weeks. This week’s Harvest Moon is no exception. The rich oranges, teals and purples blend beautifully to provide the perfect fall colors. We like it paired with our deep purple Ríoga that makes those oranges; or warmed up with Mocha Or with Words of Wisdom — see how it picks up the dusty teal?
This amazing group is our new fave five: R to L: Ríoga, Mocha, Given to Rust, Tinsel and Words of Wisdom. Imagine these colors in that new Joji Locatelli sweater, Instant Crush, or in Andrea Mowrey’s Inclinations Shawl, or providing the florals in Caitlin Hunter’s Alpine Bloom. Make your plans and grab your choices — these will go quickly.
Did you know we offer free shipping on orders of $150 or more? After shopping for your yarn needs, why not pick up a few items to stash for holiday gift giving? We’ve got locally made artisan soaps, Knit. Coffee, and exquisite notions from CocoKnits, Katrinkles and Furls. These make terrific stocking stuffers for your or a friend.
Carolyn, our amazing dyer, is also a talented knitter. Our Cumulus Blouse Knit-a-Long last through the end of September and Carolyn’s been guiding us through with her Cumulus Diary. Check this great little show out on our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, where each week Carolyn talks about everything from yarn selection to gauge and bindoffs.
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!
Brand new live #woolenwomenwednesday events are back! This time we want to gather round the fire for a spooky story… create a custom set — tell us the character of the story and where it takes place, we will do the rest! The story is told live on woolenwomenwednesdays and we hand paint your yarny set while Sami makes your custom charms. Shop a story that has already been told or create your very own. We will be starting sets live again this September. View woolenwomenwednesday live events on our Instagram to see what it’s all about. Kits come woth custom yarn, charms, a notions pouch or sock sack, and smores for you and a friend!
While it still may be 90 degrees outside most days, I can see the hints of fall coming our way and I have a whole selection of gorgeous new charms and shiny things coming for the cooler weather.
But the studio simply isn’t big enough for me to just add on more shelves to accommodate everything (I think I need a pocket dimension for that) so we’re having an End of Summer Clearance Sale!
While it’s always hard for me to decide what stays and what goes, I rest peacefully knowing that this is just another opportunity for me to give you a killer deal and send some more pretties out into the world. ????
From now through Sunday August 20th, save up to 50% on select:
– row counters
– stitch markers
– storage tins
– and bags
Fair warning, though!
Some of these pretties have VERY limited stock, so grab yours before they disappear forever!
A Woolen Yarn Box takes you to “places you knit, crochet, and make all day,” straight to your door every month! This September, a Woolen Yarn Box takes us to the farmhouse. You’ve collected the eggs fresh from the coop, some fresh apples from the orchard outside and you’ve sat down on the wrap around porch to enjoy the crisp air under a knitted throw with some hot cider…
Our subscription box transports you right to the farmhouse with scents, amazingly soft fibers, one-of-a-kind colors, and SamsTinyTrinket charms. These are never repeated or sold outside of the subscription box. We curate the boxes in small quantities so we can include amazing little goodies and extras in addition to handmade lanolin lotion bars and wool wash bars we hand pour ourselves, here at WoolenWomenFibers.
In addition to all your goodies, we include a pattern from a small business/designer! This month is the Barn Door Socks by Bloom & Create. If thats not enough- truly experience the farmhouse feels with an 8 oz candle scented like fall at the farmhouse! See all our unboxing videos on the Woolen Women Youtube Channel!
Preorders for this September box end August 23rd at midnight — and then the adventure continues on! Subscribe today only on woolenwomenfiber.com
What is included in the September box:
*Your yarn of choice (sock set or single skein)
*Two SamsTinyTrinkets coordinating to the theme (progress keepers and stitch markers are HAND CRAFTED by polymer clay artist Sami, of SamsTinyTrinkets!)
* Barn Door Socks pattern code by Bloom & Create
*A handmade chicken coop basket bag
* A handmade organic wool wash bar scented like the place you’re “visiting!”
* A handmade candle scented like the place you’re “visiting!”
* A minimum of one mystery goodie!
For those of you with scent aversion or for a more budget-friendly option, basic boxes are available that will exclude the sewn goodie and the scented goodies: yarn, one charm, and a mystery extra with pattern.
Our last week of Christmas in July and we bring you a memory: It’s Christmas Eve and you’ve been a very good child. Done all your chores and got good grades in school, always polite and kind. As you drift off to sleep, with visions of sugar plums dancing above your head, you dream of what you want to find under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning: You better believe we know what you want! It’s BARBIE! In all her pink and ponytailed glory, we’ve got a Barbie Party Pack, featuring 10 mini hanks in Barbie’s favorite palette and the option to add a set of 3 adorable Barbie stitch markers, just for you!
Barbie’s favorite color is pink, but her second favorite is *Sparkle.* Check out our special selection of Dickens and O.Henry yarns if you, too, want to shine a little brighter. These beauties are just the thing If you are looking for something really gorgeous to make something special for someone or for yourself.

We’ve restocked our beautiful Homer base, a luxurious MCN (Merino, Cashmere, Nylon) as we are thinking about planning all the fall sweater projects. This DK weight yarn not only feels amazingly soft, but it knits up quick and cozy so you’ll be ready for sweater weather.
Do you collect enamel pins? What to do with all those great little pins we collect? We’ve got you covered with our new Saturday Morning Ewe Crew Pin Banners. Made of sturdy canvas with a cute sheep Olive & Two Ewe Logo, you’ll want to grab one of these to show off your fancy pinnage.

Halloween is right around the corner and we’re celebrating with A Halloween treat… 31 Days of Mystery! It’s full of fun and marvelous surprises including yarn, notions, projects, and more yarn! So exciting! Be sure to check out all the details in the shop.
We’ve seen some pretty cute Dumpling Bags in the Yarny Ewes for our Dumpling Bag Make-a-Long. Only one hank of our Tolkien DK is used for this super useful bag. Take it shopping or gift it to a loved one. Pop in one or two of our artisan made soaps for a great gift! Easy peasy pattern and so squishy good.

WHEN: KAL kicks off September 22nd and runs for one year. Your first box will ship at the end of August and each box after will ship at the end of each month.
IMPORTANT: You will need two full 100g skeins in our 80/20 SW Merino/nylon base for borders. These should be added on to your first box if you’d like to knit the borders as you go. A drop down menu is there to add these on.
If you’d like to knit all borders at the very end (when you are done with your mitered squares) toward the end of the KAL- they can be added on then. Totally up to you.
Prize donations will be revealed as we go through the year- We already have a variety of goodies from so many talented makers which we reveal on our lives 12pm ET Wednesday and Fridays on Instagram.
Choose your skin tone so that each month your SamsTinyTrinkets character charm will be as beautiful as you! If you do not choose default is skin tone 6.
RULES for the KAL;
Your minis will be labeled 1-9
Each mini skein is a “clue” — When you knit up a mitered square, scratch off the coordinating numbered clue in your detective sheet and post a photo on Instagram of your square using the hashtag #letthemysteryunravelkal2023 (Do not worry about revealing the clue on the detective sheet online, this is solely based on knitting the mitered squares during the month — the revealed clues are for the fun of unraveling the mystery only). If you get all nine clues revealed in a given month you are entered for a prize each month in addition to grand prizes at the end. The winner will receive their prizes with a two-week processing time from the time the winner (the monthly detective) is announced on the Zoom parties.
You must finish the blanket (borders included) to be entered for grand prizes by September 22, 2024.
Who Dun it Zoom (monthly) parties:
Announcement of the “monthly” detective: if you are not present we will post it and you will need to reach out to us for your shipping information.
Join us monthly to step into the shoes of your favorite girl detective as we take you on a virtual adventure, playing the Nancy Drew PC game, as you help us unravel the mystery and solve the case! (This will be PC gameplay that you will be able to see in real time as we work together to solve the mystery.) We will announce the game we are playing in late August and Zooms will occur monthly. You can just watch the mystery unfold with us or participate in detective decisions!
*Patrons get extra goodies for the monthly win (can include any of the following: bags, candles, notions, yarn, etc.)
*Patrons get the blanket pattern for free
*Vote on the gameplay for Zoom parties
Non-patrons: monthly detective prize will consist of the colorway of the month (100g skein) and a SamsTinyTrinkets trinket dish, special coupon code for the shop!
I’m delighted to announce my new jewelry line! Many of the pieces in today’s debut collection serve a double purpose of providing adornment and helping us in our favorite fiber arts. As you know, I love working with natural materials, so each piece has been lovingly-crafted from hardwoods like beech, walnut, cedar, and more.
First, we have the Butterfly Trio Earrings. Each charm shines on a different hardwood, with the unique grain patterns of Walnut, Beech, and Cedar lending stunning details to their wings. All my earrings are lead and nickel free for easy wear and gifting!
Those same butterflies take on even more forms in my Butterfly Stitch Markers Mixed Hardwoods Set. Each includes six markers in three sizes, with options for both knit and crochet. Your set could include Beech, Cherry, Red Cedar, Canarywood, Curly Maple, Lacewood, Red Oak, Mahogany, and even Purpleheart!
Last but certainly not least, we have my Butterfly Necklace with Detachable Stitch Markers. I love this piece so much! Beyond being a cute accessory for summer, its fringe of tiny flutterbies is ready to fly off your necklace and onto your projects as stitch markers.
It’s an excellent option for knitters on the go and is easily expanded with extra sets of stitch markers! Which piece is your favorite so far?
Happy Christmas in July!
