A First Look at The Winter Edit
A behind-the-scenes look at Thread & Crumb’s Winter Candle Collection
The holidays have a way of stirring up memories — the smell of something baking, the glow of a window candle, the sound of laughter echoing through a cozy home.
As I started blending this year’s Winter Edit, I found myself chasing those familiar moments — the ones that feel like warmth on a cold night or a deep breath in the middle of holiday chaos.
This collection is inspired by comfort, celebration, and quiet joy — the little in-between moments that make winter feel special. Each candle is tested, poured, and labeled by hand right here in Iowa and every fragrance has a story behind it.
Candy Cane Daydream
A dreamy twist on the classic candy cane — cool peppermint swirled with soft vanilla and creamy tonka. Like fresh snow outside and sugar cookies cooling on the counter.
Frosted Garland
A crisp walk through the evergreens — eucalyptus and peppermint mingle with notes of Fraser fir and rosemary sage. Clean, refreshing, and winter-bright, like the air before the first snowfall.
Gingerbread Loaf
Warm, golden, and spiced to perfection. Think freshly baked gingerbread, a dusting of sugar, and a hint of nostalgia that smells just like home for the holidays.
Holiday Spirits
Bright cranberry and sparkling prosecco meet juicy grapefruit for a cheerful, bubbly scent that smells like celebration and cozy laughter.
Merry + Mulled
All the warmth of a simmering pot on the stove — cranberry, apple, and spice meld into a rich, comforting scent that feels like being wrapped in a blanket by the fire.
Silent Pines
Tranquil and grounding, this blend of Fraser fir, cedarwood blanc, and Baltic amber captures the hush of a snow-dusted forest. Calm, woodsy, and quietly luxurious.
Snowlit Sanctuary
Peaceful and clean — rosemary sage meets lavender and white tea for a soft, soothing scent that smells like morning light on fresh snow. Perfect for slow days and quiet nights.
Winter Chalet
White birch, amber noir, and spiced honey & tonka create a rich, fireside scent — warm, cozy, and a little bit wild. Like curling up beneath a wool blanket in a mountain cabin.
Yuletide Tart
Spiced honey and tonka with brown sugar, fig, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Sweet meets spice — like the scent of holiday baking and golden candlelight filling the room.
Snickerdoodle
A warm kitchen in full swing — cinnamon sugar and vanilla swirl together with hints of buttery dough and toasted spice. Cozy, nostalgic, and golden-sweet, like cookies fresh from the oven on a winter afternoon.
Made for the Moments Between
These scents aren’t just about the holidays — they’re about everything in between.
The early mornings before the world wakes up.
The laughter that lingers long after dinner.
The calm after the house is finally quiet.
Each blend was chosen to hold those moments — the warmth, the wonder, the simple comfort of being present.
