Why Only Twenty Velvet Mini Bags Were Made

Twenty. That is the number. Not because I decided twenty was a magic number. Because twenty is how many I could make with the yarn I had, working at the pace that keeps my stitches clean and my sanity intact.

Where the number comes from

I ordered a specific batch of velvet yarn from a supplier in Spain. It was a limited run - they were testing the colour and only produced a small amount. When it arrived, I knew I could make about twenty mini bags from it.

Each bag takes about three hours. The braiding is slower than regular crochet because the velvet yarn is thicker and needs more care. Pull too hard and the pile flattens. Pull too loosely and the bag loses its shape.

What happens after twenty

• They are gone forever
• I can order more yarn, but it will not be the same batch
• The colour might shift slightly
• The texture might feel different

This is not artificial scarcity. I am not sitting on a warehouse of velvet yarn refusing to make more. I made twenty because that is what the materials allowed.

What limited edition really means

When you buy a limited piece from Dew&Soil, you are not buying a label. You are buying the reality of small production. The Braided Velvet Mini Bag exists because one supplier had a small batch of yarn and I refused to rush.

FAQ

Will you restock the velvet mini bag?

Only if I find yarn that matches the quality and colour. I would rather not make one at all than make one that is not right.

Why not just make more?

Because the materials are not always available and my time is limited. Twenty is twenty.

Is limited edition just a marketing trick?

Not here. It is the honest result of handmade production with finite materials.
