Employee Wishlists
Every year we put together a few posts and videos to help our customers find those extra and special little gifts for the fiber enthusiast in their life. This year we thought we’d ask our employees what’s on their personal wishlists. After all, if it’s on the wishlist of a WEBS employee you know it’s a good choice!
Hi, I’m Katie and I’m a Knitter and Dyer. Katie is a Sales Associate in our retail store but has also worked in our Warehouse.
My holiday wishlist includes:
1. Namaste Oh Snap! Pouches -These bags are great because they won’t snag your yarn and you can see the project inside! This is a great product for and knitter or crocheter who has multiple projects going at the same time.
2. Jade Sapphire Brigadoon and Getting Purly with it Cowl pattern – I love this cowl pattern and the yarn; who doesn’t want washable cashmere?
3. Wild Color by Jenny Dean – A friend loaned me this book when I told her that I was interested in natural dyeing. It is filled with useful information for both the new and experienced dyer.
4. BFL Fingering, natural hanks – In the dye experiments I have done, this has been my favorite yarn with which to dye. It takes the color beautifully and is such a lovely wool to wear as well.
5. Lantern Moon embroidery scissors – I need some small, sharp scissors for my tool kit and these would make a great stocking stuffer! Plus, Lantern Moon uses sustainable practices in all areas of their business, so
you can feel good about supporting them!
Hi, I’m Greta and I’m a knitter and crocheter. Greta is one of our Website Coordinators but she has also worked in our retail store.
My holiday wishlist includes:
1. Sweet Georgia CashSilk Lace – because…Silk! Cashmere!
2. The Principles of Knitting by June Hemmons Hiatt – I don’t have it yet and not owning it makes me feel like an irresponsible knitter.
3. The Knitter’s Book of Finishing Techniques by Nancie M. Wiseman – My goal for 2014 is to FINISH some of my many, many works in progress.
4. A skein of Freia Lace in the Dusk colorway – I’m totally obsesses with Amy Stephen’s Rooshed pattern and I’m excited to see what it would look like in this beautiful ombre lace yarn.
5. Knitter’s Pride Bamboo Crochet Hook Set – I only just took up crochet this year, but I’m very excited about it! I would like a crochet hook set so I don’t have to worry whether I have a particular hook size or not!
Hi, I’m Ashley and I’m a dangerous fiber nerd. Ashley is a Sales Associate in our retail store and our resident spinning expert.
My holiday wishlist includes:
1.Abstract Fibers 40/40/20 – Raw Merino/Superwash Merino/Silk, hand dyed blended fibers
2. Ashland Bay Organic Polwarth wool fiber – Super soft, springy wool that takes dye beautifully and spins up smoothly. Processed ecologically
3. Dream in Color Classy with Cashmere – Having a love affair with this super soft yarn, which wants to become new garments for me to snuggle with, in hand dyed colors that pop!
4. Be Sweet Bamboo – Gorgeous hand dyed colors in cable-plied 100% bamboo, which I recently made my first pullover with, and the drape and softness of this yarn makes me want to knit another one right away.
5. Zealana Willow DK – Following the thread of cashmere addiction running through my wishlist, this blend of 70% New Zealand Merino and a whopping 30% Cashmere content makes visions of cozy soft hats and snug wintertime socks dance in my head…
