  • Our Updated Sock Box (and, new, Skein!) Subscriptions

    Juli 25, 2023 3 min lesen. 1 Kommentar

    Exactly one year ago this fall, we launched our very first boxes – our beloved Sock Boxes! Filled with all-natural yarns and knitting goodies, they were our first foray into curating beautiful, sustainable products under one theme.

    To this day, this is one of my favorite things I do here at Making Stories. Keeping an eye out for makers who share our values and create gems that I think you might love, working with them on a joint theme and color palette, designing the little stickers and postcards that go with each box, and finally packing them all up and sending them into your loving hands.

    Like with all things though, you learn while you're doing, and so for our one-year-anniversary of the Sock Boxes, I knew I wanted to slightly update the concept. Based on feedback from you, I knew that you wanted an option without notions, and based on our experience with the process, I knew that I wanted to streamline the subscription a little.

    So, without further ado, I'm introducing our new Sock Box and Sock Skein Subscriptions!

    They will be launching on August 1, 9am CEST!

    So, what's new?

    The first, and biggest change, we're making is that we're introducing a Sock Skein Subscription alongside our trusty Sock Box Subscription!
     
    The Sock Box Subscription will contain – as it did until now – a skein of natural sock yarn, dyed in a colorway developed just for us, knitting notions, and a surprise gift.

     

    The Sock Skein Subscription includes just the yarn, in the special colorway developed for us. This is perfect for everyone who loves natural sock yarn and wants to try different bases, but has enough stitch markers, project bags, and the like at home.
    The other big change we're making is that the sock boxes and sock skeins will only be available as a subscription, not as a preorder anymore. Predicting how many boxes and skeins we will sell has been really difficult – some sold out in minutes, others not at all – and with keeping to a subscription-only model, I'm hoping to introduce a bit more predictability when it comes to how much yarn and notions I need to be ordering.
     
    Now, I know that subscriptions are not everyone's cup of tea, which is why we're going to do bi-annual Sock Shop Updates in April and October, starting in April 2024. These sock shop updates will include overflow yarn and notions from the previous two boxes, i.e. the April 2024 update will include products from the October and January Box. Quantities of both yarn and notions in these updates will be super limited though, so if you want to make sure to get them, a subscription is the safer way to go.
     
    I am so excited about these updates, especially about the Sock Skein Subscription, and I hope you are too. We'll open Subscriptions on August 1, with the first box / skein being the October one, and trust me, you don't want to miss this. We've lined up some amazing makers, and the October theme is gorgeous!

    PS: If you currently have a quarterly sock box subscription with us, nothing changes for you! If you're on an annual plan, you got an email from me a couple weeks ago with a few changes for you. (If you didn't, let us know!)

    I love the theme for Octobers sock box. I may get the skein only as I am not a fan of polymer clay (plastic) for this month stitch marker maker. But I would love to buy a full box next time if the markers are made from naturally made materials.

    My 5 Favorite Patterns for Fluffy Yarns
    My 5 Favorite Patterns for Fluffy Yarns

    September 07, 2023 4 min lesen.

    Hello lovelies,

    One of my all-time favorite tasks when we get a new yarn in is to put together pattern and color combinations. And with Bérénice, De Rerum Natura's sustainably produced Mohair / Merino / Silk yarn (fluffy like a cloud!), the possibilities for patterns and colors are close to endless!

    I narrowed it down to my five favorite patterns (well, of right now) in color combinations that showcase the full rainbow of Bérénice colors. I've put a ton more patterns over on our Pinterest Board for pattern inspo for fluffy yarns if you're looking for more!

    Now, though, let's take a look at my top 5!

    Can a Silk Mohair Yarn be sustainable?
    Can a Silk Mohair Yarn be sustainable?

    Hi lovelies!

    I'm thrilled to be back in this space, and with something really, really exciting at that! For the past year, I've been on the hunt for a sustainably-produced fluffy yarn - we used to carry Knitting for Olive's Soft Silk Mohair which is delightful, but also... everyone has it now? So I was looking for something that was a little out of the ordinary, but also responsibly sourced, and as it goes with anything that involves mohair and silk, that was really hard.

    Cue De Rerum Natura, who secretly have been working behind the scenes at exactly that yarn I'd been looking for: An "as sustainably as it can get" fluff yarn that works perfectly for a broad range of projects, from whispers of lace shawls to holding it together with more substantial yarns.

    Hi lovelies! A very, very warm welcome to our official pattern preview of Issue 10 – Heirloom. Our Fall & Winter 2023 issue is dedicated to pieces that we love to knit and wear for years, and years to come, and that then become true heirlooms. Passing them on to a beloved friend or family member or tucking them away for the next generation, or the right recipient to come along - these designs will truly stand the test of time.
