Woolie Stockings

Last Christmas I made new stockings for our family. I recently pulled them out of the Christmas box for inspiration on this next project and I was reminded of how much I really, really love them. It's the beautiful vintage wool pairings that ooze nostalgia and cozy, makin' my heart flutter with the desire to drink hot chocolate and string popcorn and hum carols with Frank and Bing. Now, that's a good stocking.



It's a bit early to be thinking holiday decor, but I did want to give you a heads up - this year I am making 30 or so, one of a kind stockings just like these - for you! Come November, I'll post all the wool pairings together in one-easy-to-choose-from-image, showing the available combos. All you have to do is let me know which combo you'd like and what your special letter is.



Made from 100% vintage wool suiting and blanketing, and lined with certified organic cotton so that the stocking won't loose it's shape. All the seams are hidden so no treats will be snagged or caught up in the toe. Approximately 22" high and 12" at the widest point. The letter is approx 4x4". Each stocking has a coordinating, secure loop at the top for optimal fireplace hanging. $55.

Happy Holidays, indeed!

Those are gorgeous Tressa! I love them. I made felted wool (from old sweaters) stockings a few years ago and you've just reminded me that I'll need to make a new one for our new family member. Fortunately I've got a few years before anyone will notice.

Those are really, really beautiful. Wow! I am super-impressed. They really do create a nostalgic ambiance, just by looking at them.

Thanks for all the beautiful comments! I love making these stockings. I'll have the images ready soon - I'm thinking of posting them to my Etsy store ... but I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Cozy up!
