2022 Winter Solstice Stitching Experience

Hello! We have one extra Winter Solstice Stitching Kit we can send out ASAP. Please know due to the holidays, we cannot guarantee that it will reach you by the Solstice, when this experience starts, but we will do our best to do so!

~~~

Commonly known as an advent calendar, this will be a similar experience. You will receive a collection of gifts, marked and designed to be opened each day for seven days starting on the Solstice (December 21st, 2022).

Our focus will be on our senses, and how they guide the meditative stitching process. Our intention is to help create space for you to stitch a bit each day, and to give you prompts and a gift each day to inspire your creativity and to offer care.

Between now and early December when we ship your kit to you, we will be busy designing, gathering, and creating your gifts. This is our first time creating an experience like this - and we are so excited to share it with you! We have so many fun surprises up our sleeve!

- Kristine, Adrienne, and Team Verb

When working with fabric, thread, and fiber dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.

Please note the fiber content of the material you are working with, and follow the applicable instructions: 

Cotton or linen - Machine washable on cool cycle with pH neutral soap. Lay flat to dry.

Superwash Wool - Machine washable on cool cycle with pH neutral soap, though hand wash recommended. Lay flat to dry.

Wool and Wool blends - Handwash only in lukewarm water with pH neutral soap. Lay flat to dry.
