Unit price perIndulge in the comforting flavors of mulled wine and let them transport you to a world of relaxation and tranquility. Picture yourself cozying up by the fireplace, savoring a warm mug of fragrant mulled wine (or cider), while your knitting needles dance along the yarn. The subtle blend of spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, create a soothing aroma that envelops your senses and sets the mood for a truly enjoyable knitting experience.
Make traditional Glühwein easily and quickly with this carefully selected blend of spices. Transform a bottle of ordinary red wine into a warm, spicy and aromatic holiday beverage to share with family and friends.
What's Included:
- Mulling Spice Kit (100g | 4-6 Servings) in a glass jar by Bush Berry (a fellow Canadian small business)
- Muslin brew bag
- 12oz double-wall insulated glass mug
Instructions:
- Pour one bottle of sweet red wine (or six cups of apple cider) into a saucepan.
- Add 2-4 Tbsp of our spice blend. To keep the spices enclosed, use a muslin bag or enclosed strainer. You can also add half of a sliced orange (optional) and 1/2-1 cup of sugar.
- Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Heat for another 30 minutes, but take care not to let it boil. You can add more sugar to taste.
- Remove the spice bag or strain the mixture, then serve hot.
Tips for Making the Perfect Mulled Beverage:
- To keep the mulled wine warm all day/night, warm it in a crockpot on low heat.
- If you desire, you can add sliced oranges and lemons, as well as cinnamon sticks.
- Always add sugar gradually, taste, and continue. You don't want it to be too sweet, but just right.
- Be careful not to let the alcohol boil, or it will lose its alcohol content.
- If you’re making it safe for kids to drink, replace the wine with apple cider to make a spiced apple cider.
Have fun creating some special memories this winter with the mulled wine mix!

Leather Envelope
$65.00 USD
Unit price perHandcrafted from our signature buttery soft Crazy Horse leather, the Leather Envelope is the luxurious gift wrap your hand-knits deserve. Delight your loved one not only with a beautiful handmade garment, but a functional versatile gift wrap they can cherish as much as the gift itself!
At 8.5x11” (22x28 cm), this leather envelope is also perfect for safekeeping printed patterns, photos, or important documents.
And when you're ready to head out to brunch with friends or a breezy night out with a loved one, it transforms into a fabulous clutch, so you can hit the town in style!
If you'll be using the envelope as gift wrap for your hand-knit: hats, socks, mittens, baby items, and fingering-weight or finer cowls and shawls will fit beautifully. If you're not sure, here's a good way to gauge whether your item will fit:
- Place an A4 (8.5 x 11") piece of paper on a flat surface
- Fold your knitted item and place it on top of the paper, so that there is about 1/2" of white showing behind it on all sides
- Measure the height of the folded piece. If it's 3" or less, you're good!
Each envelope comes with two detachable leather tags: one beautifully scripted tag reads "Handmade with Love" for the gift-givers out there. The second is embossed with the Thread & Maple logo.
