Wool Tree Mill’s Wool Trees and Tool Butlers are now in space and make fantastic gifts for the stitcher who has nearly everything! The tool butlers ($47-$55) store scissors, extra needles and other notions at your fingertips, all while being easily transported with the central handle. The Wool Tree ($58) simply slides into your cake, keeping it under control and winding freely while working from it. And finally, the Knitting Spindle Tray ($84) combines a Wool Tree with a handle notions tray so those stitch markers and other notions stay local rather than wondering into the depths of your sofa cushions. Check out this post for more information on these wonder tools.
