Desert Blooms
2025 is the year of Desert Blooms! We’ve curated a year-long subscription that brings the stunning beauty of the desert right to your doorstep, every quarter.
​
In the heart of the desert, where the land is rugged and the air is dry, a quiet magic unfolds. Beneath the harsh sun and cool, starlit nights, delicate blooms emerge—resilient, vibrant, and full of unexpected beauty. These desert flowers remind us that even in the most unlikely places, there is color, life, and joy waiting to surprise us.
The 2025 Maker's Boxes are inspired by this very magic—each item curated to reflect the resilience and wonder of desert blooms. Just like these flowers that burst forth in the midst of vast desert landscapes, our boxes are filled with carefully chosen treasures that will brighten your crafting moments. From exclusive patterns to hand-dyed yarn, every piece is designed to spark joy and creativity, bringing the beauty of the desert directly into your hands.

Currents
Introducing Currents, a pullover that captures the essence of artistry and craftsmanship, blending the rich textures of two remarkable yarns into a new pullover.
​
Designed in collaboration with Mitchell Wool Co. and Spincycle Yarns, this circular yoke sweater is designed to be a go-to piece in your wardrobe, with a fit that’s as effortless as the playful stripes that adorn it.
​
Knit from the top down, the random color-pooling of Spincycle’s handspun yarn creates a unique, one-of-a-kind effect in every sweater. You get to decide where the pops of color appear, making each Currents pullover truly your own.

The pattern is written to include optional bust darts and notes sections for personal modifications for fit and style. This basic pullover is designed to wear with 2-6”/5-15 cm of positive ease.
