ONCE UPON A WOODLAND

Once Upon a Woodland Collection

Step quietly… the forest is telling a story.

Deep within an enchanted woodland, where moss glows emerald and tiny castles rise beneath towering mushrooms, a collection was born. 

Once Upon a Woodland is a celebration of whimsy, craftsmanship, and the magic that lives between stitches.

Rich with hidden details — storybook turrets tucked among curling ferns, glowing toadstools scattered across twilight foliage — this design feels like wandering through a fairy tale at dusk. Paired with vibrant chartreuse accents and luminous orange linings, each piece is both bold and beautifully unexpected.

Introducing "LUMINARA"

Meet Luminara — where softness meets light.

This exquisite 50/50 blend of superwash merino and silk is spun for drape, glow, and undeniable elegance. 

The silk content gives this base an incredible sheen — a luminous finish that catches the light and elevates every stitch. 

Paired with the bounce and softness of merino, Luminara creates fabric that feels fluid, refined, and indulgent against the skin.

Fingering weight and beautifully smooth, this base is perfect for:

  • Heirloom shawls
  • Lightweight garments
  • Silk-kissed accessories

LUX SPORT WEIGHT

Lux Sport

There’s something special about a yarn that feels like it was made for slow mornings and soft light.

Lux Sport is spun from 17 micron superwash merino, meaning every strand is impossibly soft — the kind of softness that makes you pause mid-stitch just to feel it again. It glides through your hands with a gentle warmth, smooth and refined, never heavy, never harsh. Just pure comfort.

The twist is beautifully balanced, giving your stitches clarity and quiet structure. Texture blooms. Cables stand proud. Even the simplest stockinette feels intentional and luminous.

Thank you so much for your patience while we worked through the new U.S. shipping tariffs, duties, and fees. We’re excited to let you know that shipping to the U.S. is now sorted out! There will be a small price adjustment, which brings our yarn in line with U.S. dyers, and all purchases shipped to U.S. addresses will now appear in USD.

THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY EXTRA FEES WHEN YOU RECIEVE YOUR ORDER

HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM WHO LOVE ADDING COLOUR AND FUN TO THE WORLD

Gingersnap is a fibre-forward studio rooted in story, texture, and thoughtful craft. 

We create hand-dyed yarn and lifestyle bags designed to be lived with — pieces that move seamlessly from creative moments to everyday life.

Our yarns are carefully dyed in small batches, inspired by nature, folklore, and emotion. Each skein is layered with depth and nuance, offering colourways that feel intentional, wearable, and deeply personal. From sock sets to gradients, our palettes are designed to spark creativity and invite slow, meaningful making.

Alongside our yarn, we design and produce lifestyle bags and accessories made to support makers on the go — project bags, stitch & store bowls, and thoughtfully designed essentials that balance beauty with function. 

Many of our textile pieces feature custom prints, heritage influences, and collaborations with artists and designers we admire.

At the heart of Gingersnap is a commitment to craftsmanship, community, and storytelling. We believe the things we make — and make with — should carry feeling, memory, and care.

 Every piece is created with intention, meant to be used often, loved deeply, and woven into the rhythm of your creative life.


Gingersnap is more than yarn and bags — it’s an invitation to create with purpose.
