We’ve got a solid lineup this week—makers leaning into fall in the best way. There’s a quick crochet beanie you can finish in an hour, hand-dyed yarn in warm tones, old-world art prints that feel perfectly spooky, and handmade soaps that keep things simple. It’s all about that mix of cozy and craft this time of year.
Sewrella Yarn
Every colorway from Sewrella is intentional. They’re hand-dyed in small batches, with tones that are rich and vibrant. Her Autumn Tonals line is full of grounded, seasonal shades that look as good in a basket as they do on the needles.
She’s also got her Home Collection dropping October 17th, a beautiful lineup that feels like it could fit any style. For those who are into knitting or if you know someone who is, this is a shop worth checking out!
Grassfed Soaps
Two makers. One mission: make skincare that’s as pure as it is effective. Every bar, lotion, and shampoo is made by hand in their coastal Virginia studio using beef tallow. It’s an ingredient that’s quietly becoming a favorite among people who want products that actually nourish their skin.
They’re hitting their stride in gaining traction as a business but they still manage to make each batch feel personal. Honest ingredients, zero fluff, and it all smells incredible.
The Maker’s Manual
If you’ve ever wanted to try crochet but didn’t know where to start, this is a great project. It’s a “1-Hour Beanie” that’s simple and true to its name. You’ll have a beanie before lunchtime!
You’ll only need a chunky yarn, a large hook, and a cozy playlist. The stitches are beginner-friendly, the pattern is forgiving, and the end result looks like something you’d find at a craft market.
Personally, I’d pair this with a fall candle and a hot beverage. Apple cider anyone?
@livwell_studio Love how quick this one is. 🧶 Let me know if any technique needs more clarification! #crochet #crochetersoftiktok #crochettiktok #yarn #k... See more

Barnacles and Moss
Would it be Fall if I didn’t include a spooky artist? There’s something quietly unsettling about the world of Barnacles and Moss. Every print feels like a relic. Haunted houses, thrifted ghosts, and Victorian facades with peering ghosts. It’s spooky, yes, but with the restraint and polish of fine art.
Each illustration is printed with archival materials on velvet-textured paper, made to last so you can put them up year after year.
That’s it for this week’s dispatch. Thanks for reading and for supporting the makers we feature each week. If you end up grabbing something or trying the DIY, tag us @themakersdispatch — we always love seeing it.
