Reclaimed. Redefined. Repurposed.
Welcome to Stitches and Wicks!
Stitches and Wicks offers handmade crochet and knitted items and hand-poured natural soy candles in hand-cut beer, wine, and pop bottles and vintage teacups and mason jars! I especially love to upcycle bottles from local breweries and wineries and now that I live in North Carolina expect more local, NC brew candles! :-)
I take great pride in all of the items that I produce. I spend a great deal of time perfecting each item and making sure that it is something that I would want to purchase and receive from someone else. I also use high quality supplies. All of my candles are made using premium natural soy wax. Many of the fragrances that I use are infused with natural essential oils. I also hand-cut, grind, sand, and polish all of the bottles that are re-purposed into candles. It is such a great feeling to turn things that normally get thrown away into fun, decorative, and useful things!
For the 'stitches,' I use a variety of yarns, including hand-spun/hand-dyed merino wool, alpaca, banana silk, llama. I also use acrylic yarn for those with wool allergies. I use vintage or hand-made buttons for most of my ear warmers, button necklaces, and cowls---all hand-sewn by me! I also have recently begun using vintage buttons for earrings!
All of my crafts are created in a non-smoking, pet-friendly household. Also, I LOVE custom orders! Please contact me if there is a particular wine bottle that you would like made into a candle or if you would like me to make favors for your bridal shower/wedding. I am always up to the challenge and will work with you to make something that is both beautiful and affordable!
