Making It Personal
Wrap your pressie in recycled paper with burlap ribbon, or include a personal note sharing the item’s yarn. It’s the little touches that turn a purchase into a memory.
Why It Works
Giving vintage and offbeat gifts isn’t just about the item — it’s about connection. Each piece holds a yarn, which now becomes part of the receiver’s story.
