W+W Wrapped 2025 🥰🤭👀
THAT’S RIGHT!! WOOL AND WORKS IS MOVING!! 🥳 I am SO excited to announce that I am moving from the shed to a proper studio! This has been so hard to keep secret for close to a year. I am emotional writing this as I have poured so much love and energy into this space and I can’t wait to share it with all of you!
2025 was a HUGE year for me and such a grind. It certainly wasn’t easy, but looking back now I am so proud of what I created 💖
84 brand new colourways across a collection, club, countdown box and more. First time doing a 32 day countdown box and an advent of any sort in three years. First international market and first time vending at (Bendigo) where I brought two international dyers with me to make their yarn more accessible for our Australian community
On the engineering front, I was promoted to project engineer and taught three grads which reinvigorated my love of teaching
And finally, I used my life savings from engineering to invest in my crafty biz and renovated a studio for W+W 🥹 I have spent many late nights and weekends designing and working on the studio. This reno has been such a challenge but I have loved every minute of it and while the financial risk was extremely terrifying, I’ve backed myself and I’m proud of stepping out of my comfort zone and giving it a red hot crack ❤️🔥
I have designed the space to be extremely efficient for yarn dyeing, and by moving the business out of my family home, I will be able to hire someone to help me this year. This means quicker turn around times on orders which is something I’m conscious I haven’t always delivered on in the last 12 months. So for those who ordered from me in 2025 and were kind and patient while they waited for their squishy goodies - thank you
None of this would be possible without your support. Honestly your messages, comments and kind emails keep me going and make me want to work hard to create magic for this craft community. So thank you for being exactly as you are and choosing to support me. It means the world. HNY, and let’s get stuck into an awesome 2026 🥳 Love Chlo xx
