Shopping – Boston Wool Works

Wool (and cashmere) weather!

It was such a challenging growth experience this year to launch a Summer line of garments, bags, and pillows with more warm-weather appropriate materials, but I’ll be honest – I’m delighted to feel the chill in the air and to be outfitting folks with cozy handmade pieces to keep them warm!

I’ll be at several holiday markets around the Boston area in the next few weeks, and would love to see you there…I have so many one-of-a-kind (at least in the sense of the specific upcycled material I use) items that I never have all of them posted, so you’ll always get the best selection in person. Tiny businesses like mine make most of our yearly income at this time of year, so we appreciate every single bit of interest in our work!

Here are a few of the lovely pieces (perfect gifts!) I’ll have with me at these shows:

Bags: Wool shoulder, Denim vertical messenger, Denim vertical small, Wool laptop sleeves
Scarves & shawls: Handwoven fringed shawls, Patchwork scarves, Neck warmers, Hand dyed silk scarves
Miscellaneous accessories: Cashmere hats, Leather cuffs, and Cashmere fingerless mittens

Here are my upcoming shows (you can always see the latest on the events page of this site or my Facebook events page):

November 24, Somerville, MA: Somerville High School Craft Fair
December 1, Norwell, MA: Holiday Marketplace at James Library
December 2, Worcester, MA: stART at the Station
December 8, Boston, MA: Boston Women’s Market 50Makers Holiday Hall

…and you can also shop online on this site (click the “**shop**” link in the navigation) or on my Etsy shop.

…and you can also find some of my work at a few local shops!

Dahlia Gallery, 524 Harrison Avenue, Boston, MA (SoWa District)
Birch Street House and Garden, 760 South Street, Roslindale, MA (Roslindale Village)
Definitely Wendy, Westboro Shopping Center, Rt 9 & Lyman St., Westboro, MA

Thanks for your support, and let me know if there’s anything I can make just for you!

Spring/Summer line now available!

My Spring/Summer line is now available on my website! I’ve extended my use of upcycled materials beyond classics like wool and cashmere to warm-weather friendly cotton! My garments, accessories, and home textiles have a fresh and stylish vibe, and are made as always using sustainable materials such as t-shirts, jeans, and belts, transformed into innovative new designs.

Pieces are made to order at the moment, so allow a little time for me to make your favorite piece, but you’ll have it in plenty of time for the warm weather! My line is also available for wholesale – please contact me for a linesheet and access to wholesale pricing at info@bostonwoolworks.com.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this line, and hope to see you out in the world as Boston thaws!

Boston Wool Works holiday shopping guide

It’s that time of year – finally chilly and wintry here in Boston, otherwise known as WOOL WEATHER! I get a little too excited at this time of year, because I get to wear all sorts of warm garments and accessories, and do my best impression of an Icelandic woman and layer woolens on top of beautiful woolens.

That said, wool itself is not the only material I wear or use in making my pieces – I use lots of super soft cashmere, silk, and sturdy linen, sometimes combined with warm and cozy wool, and sometimes combined with each other for those with low wool tolerance. Luckily there are a lot of you out there who share my love for these materials, and you can enjoy this season, too!

As most of you reading this know, Boston Wool Works is a one-woman show (me!), and I’ve been working hard to expand my offerings and my reach this year as this becomes my full time occupation. If you would like to support me in this venture (which I really appreciate!) and adorn yourselves and your loved ones in beautiful materials, there are a few ways you can do so. Read more
