Shopcast 286 is coming this Friday! 🎉

Corinne is back from vacation and reunited with Maggie just in time to open up some Nutiden packages on the Shopcast!

There’s nothing quite like opening a package of Nutiden. Nutiden is silky, beautifully and uniquely colored, minimally processed, and sometimes you’ll even discover a little bit of vegetable matter tucked inside. Just a tiny piece of Sweden saying hello! 🇸🇪

Shop our selection of Nutiden on our website here: https://thewoollythistle.com/products/honer-och-eir-nutiden

Join Corinne and Maggie this Friday for Shopcast 286 and plenty of woolly goodness!

Why Wool Dreamers?

When we began dreaming up this year’s 12 Days of Cheer Box, we knew we wanted a partner who shares the values at the heart of The Woolly Thistle: a deep appreciation for woolly wool, the sheep and people behind it, and yarn with a true sense of place.

Wool Dreamers felt like the perfect fit.

Based in Spain, Wool Dreamers is passionate about celebrating Spanish wool and giving value back to a fiber that has too often been overlooked. Their yarns showcase the wonderful variety of Spain’s native sheep breeds while connecting today’s knitters with generations of shepherding, wool production, and textile tradition.

For this year’s box, we’ve worked closely with the Wool Dreamers team to create something especially woolly. Every yarn inside is made with 100% natural Spanish fibers, including exclusive colors and even never before seen WoolDreamers bases created for the box.

We can’t wait for you to unwrap each one and experience just how varied, beautiful, and special Spanish wool can be.

Preorders for our 2026 12 Days of Cheer Box are open now while supplies last! https://thewoollythistle.com/products/12-days-of-cheer-box
