OK, all you color-loving people! Feast your eyes and fingers on this scrumptious collection of hand-dyed wool fabrics! 40 different colors, offered in solid, herringbone or houndstooth patterns... we have 120 different choices to tempt you! Weeks has dyed these wools specifically to match their overdyeds... so if you're doing a special project... you can match threads to the wool and know it'll look great! Offered in 1/4-yard chunks measuring approx 15 x 25 each, the hand-dying gives each piece its own individual look. Primitive-looking stains sometimes, and lots of subtle shading for extra texture and interest.
Rug Hookers are slicing this up for rugs, Punch Needlers are mounting their punched projects on this -- like a mat board idea, Quilters are using this in soft-sculpture and penny rugs, Cross stitchers are using this to embellish projects like buttons would... and everybody is using it to finish and back projects! I'm sure there are tons of ways you can use this that I haven't even thought about! Absolutely breathtaking to look at and feel... I recognize the Weeks colors in their threads... and now the wool opens up so many other possibilities! You're going to love it!

Weeks Wools in Small Samplings!
We've decided to offer our Weeks Dye Works Hand-dyed wools in small 'schnigglets' of useable sizes!!! All these wonderful punch needle designs use just bits of Weeks Wool behind them as their mounting boards... several Cross Eyed Cricket designs use Weeks Wool as backs to their individual ornaments... Homespun Elegance likes it.. Heart in Hand calls for it... Erica Michaels uses it... and lots more. So we're making it easier for you to get! All the colors, in all three patterns -- plain, herringbone and hounds tooth... our fat quarters have been divided! Your individual cuts will measure somewhere around 8 x 8-ish... since the wools are hand-dyed, they shrink in the process, and we do the best we can with what we have. Anyway... get on here and tell us if you want the whole fat quarters... or the 'SCHNIGGLET CUTS!' I'll try to remember to offer these when something new comes out... but if I forget... just order what you want! $3.00 each Note: the Schnigglet section appears at the bottom half of this page, below the section where you can buy the 1/4 yard pieces.
We are intriqued by the color differences the base wool provides. Here is a solid piece, the houndstooth and herringbone... all in the same color. The neat patterns provide you with complimentary patterns... in colors that all go together! Mixing design textures is a cool way to add more color -- safely!
Section 1 -- 1/4 Yard Pieces -- $18.00 each. FYI: there is a submit buttom at the bottom of each section... make your selections from one section at a time, using the submit button for that section before continuing on to the next.
Section 2 -- Schnigglet Cuts -- approx 8 x 8 inches $3.50 each. FYI: there is a submit buttom at the bottom of each section... make your selections from one section at a time, using the submit button for that section before continuing on to the next.
Oh, gosh, these have no Cross-Stitch on them... but they ARE the most darling little wool needle cases! I saw them at Market, and HAD to HAVE them! Offered as patterns, they all use Weeks Hand-dyed Wools -- which we carry! Over-the-top cute, each piece is traced and cut out of the wool, simply whip-stitched together (you can buttonhole if you want!) couple of Mill Hill beads or Treasures, a few JABCO buttons... embellish here and there... each 6 x 6-ish case is cuter than the last!
We brought home a kitty -- opens to reveal a mouse and catnip flowerpot that stores scissors! The puppy opens to a bone (for the scissors) and fire hydrant! The Jack-o-Lantern opens to a ghost needlebook, candy corn scissor case and boo pouch! Mr Snowman has a tree needlebook, mitten for scissors, and center pocket! TOO FUN!
