As we welcome 2025, there’s something special about starting the year with fresh ideas and tools that make our creative lives easier and more enjoyable. At Thread & Maple, we’re always inspired by the incredible makers in our community, and this year, we’re thrilled to introduce three brand-new products designed with your needs in mind. Each of these tools is here to help you stay organized, inspired, and stress-free as you create your next masterpiece. Let’s dive in!
Leather Swatch Size Markers: Inspired by You
Have you ever come across an old swatch and wondered, What needle size did I use for this? You’re not alone! These clever markers were born from a customer’s brilliant suggestion (Thank you Susan from Ontario!). Crafted from eco-friendly leather scraps, our Leather Swatch Size Markers are designed to clip onto your swatches after blocking, ensuring you never lose track of your needle sizes again. Available in small, medium, and large sampler sets, they’re perfect for every knitter, whether you’re working with fine lace or chunky yarn. Say goodbye to mystery swatches and hello to effortless organization!
Numbered Wooden Stitch Markers: Count on Them
When it comes to keeping track of pattern repeats or sections in your work, stitch markers are a crafter’s best friend. These Numbered Wooden Stitch Markers take this a step further with clear, laser-etched numbers from 1 to 10. Whether you’re managing a complex lace pattern or simply marking key points in your project, these lightweight, beautifully crafted markers will keep you on track. With their secure gourd-shaped safety pin attachments, they’re perfect for both knitting and crochet projects.
Bohin Dreamcatcher Needle Threader: Threading Made Beautiful
Threading a tapestry needle can be a fiddly task, but the Bohin Dreamcatcher Needle Threader makes it a breeze. Shaped like a delicate dreamcatcher, this lightweight aluminum tool is as functional as it is beautiful. Its fine threading wire easily guides yarn through needles of various sizes, saving you time and frustration. Plus, its design invites personalization—add tassels, beads, or stitches to make it uniquely yours. Compact enough to fit into your Thread & Maple On the Go notions fold, this tool is the perfect blend of practicality and charm.
A Year of Creativity and Connection
At Thread & Maple, we’re always inspired by the resilience and creativity of our community. As we embark on 2025, we hope these new tools bring a little extra joy and ease to your crafting journey. Whether you’re tackling ambitious new projects or simply savoring the meditative rhythm of your stitches, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Here’s to a year filled with inspiration, connection, and the simple pleasures of making something beautiful with our hands.
Love,
