Tucked away into the heart of Leelanau County, where cherry trees, centennial farms and wine grapes meet the shores of Lake Michigan, is a makers paradise. We call it Wool & Honey.
Our focus is on thoughtful companies who add their own stories to our little spot in the world — brands that highlight fibers that mirror the exquisite natural beauty of our area. Michigan fiber artists are paramount — our selection of locally grown, dyed, spun yarns and fibers is unparalleled.
The hive is the center of it all — it’s home. Home to bees of all ages and ability levels, each adding a bit of shine to a vibrant community. Every day, these tiny workers gather pollen — powdery bits of fluff — and with a little time and effort, transform it into gorgeous, golden nectar. How similar we knitters are to the bee! Taking nothing more that two sticks and a string, we create warmth and comfort, fabric to clothe and decorate our bodies.
Welcome, little bees. We can’t wait for you to join the buzz.
*****
Liz (she/her/they/them) is a Maker, a mother, a twin and a dedicated student of Life. A seer of The Big Picture, she is the official keeper of The List; in knitting and in life, she always looks for the most nuanced approach. A DIYer before it was a thing, there isn’t anything she won’t do. Make your own diaper cream? Yes, please. Learn to strip, varnish and polish a concrete floor? Child’s play. Teach yourself how to knit on double-points to make a (surprise) garland of 100 Habu paper lanterns from written instructions and a solitary sketched diagram? GAME ON. She once knit a Queen-sized Aran afghan as a wedding gift and it only took her 18 months. (She memorized the pattern, of course.) Her children are Cecily (8.5) and Felicity (3) and they love raspberries, the color orange and creating complex, fantastical worlds of wonder, not necessarily in that order.
And.
We believe in science and research.
We believe that we are all connected in one way or another, and that we are bound by more than our earthly bodies.
We believe in Peace.
We believe that love is love.
We believe in gender fluidity as expression of self, both in practice and in theory.
We believe that Black lives matter. This includes all Black Life, including Black trans, queer, fat and disabled bodies, and their entire range of full, lived experiences.
We fully acknowledge that we live, operate within and benefit from a racist society and we are committed to confronting and dismantling white supremacy in our shop, in our homes and in our hearts.
We live on stolen Odawa and Anishinaabe land.
We are people who happen to love yarn—we are in the business of Being Human.
We welcome everyone to this safe space, both in-person and online.
We are so glad you are here.
Here’s to the next 24 years.
