Exclusive Design

Meet the stars of our 2026 TWT Sock Bags: Wooliam the sheep and Sockrates the cat are the charming mascots leading this year’s celebration of sock knitting, slow making, and woolly joy.

This original artwork was designed in-house by TWT staff member Rob, and it is just bursting with personality!

This charming tote is as delightful as the design and yarn it carries. Made in New Hampshire by Enviro-Tote, an eco-friendly, woman-owned company, it's a sturdy and reusable project bag you'll reach for again and again

We love that every part of this project reflects real people making real things thoughtfully and well. From artwork to the bag itself to the carefully curated yarns tucked inside. There are no shortcuts, just creativity, craftsmanship, and the kind of meaningful making that brings our knitting community together one stitch at a time.
