Welcome to our first edition of the Makers Gift Guide brought to you by Thread Collective. This guide showcases some of the amazing artists we have in our community and promotes local small businesses this holiday season.

Being a mother of 3 creative souls, I want to teach my children the importance of supporting local entrepreneurs and artists. They witness the joy I get with each day with every purchase you make from my business, and I hope that by promoting our artist community, the joy will spread far this holiday season.

Grab a cuppa, relax and enjoy exploring the websites and social profiles as you get to know some of our very talented local artists.

It's Spinning & Weaving Week from 5th to 11th October and we want you to celebrate with us! For every loom and spinning wheel purchased this week we will be giving away a gift with purchase. 

If like me, you love making and gifting your handmade treasures to loved ones at Christmas. Have you considered, instead, to give the gift of handmaking this Christmas? That way your loved one can experience the joy of turning a pile of unassuming ingredients into something special... Like one of these gorgeous crochet dogs.
