Ideas for new products
Whether it's a fresh colour addition to one of WoolSome's existing collections or an entirely new fabric quality, your input matters.
EXPLORE existing ideas, leave COMMENTS, and VOTE to indicate the level of demand for a particular new product.
Vote only for the ideas you believe you would consider purchasing from our store if they are produced. After voting, we’ll keep you informed about the idea’s future statuses.
While logging in is not required for voting, we still kindly ask for your email to facilitate communication with you.
While we are open for all ideas and discussions, please take into account that :
- General requests, such as “we need more plain weave in various weights and colours,” provide us with a broad direction, that can be also voted on.
- However, the more detailed and narrowed an idea is, the higher the chance that we will produce something precisely aligned with your preferences.
- The ideal single idea is one focused on a single product, specifying its grammage, weave, and colour preference.
- Adding an image of a colour proposal (and/or RGB values) will help us to understand your dream.
- If you have multiple detailed ideas, feel free to create as many as possible using the formular provided below.
OPEN – first status after an idea is created, it is open for comments and votes.
REVIEWED – after reaching a certain treshold of votes, an idea will get our critical attention and we will speed up with the decision what to do. In most of the cases it will mean bringing an idea into production stage as quickly as possible.
APPROVED – after reviewing an idea a product will be produced.
DECLINED – after careful consideration, we’ve chosen not to proceed with the production of the idea. Additional insights and reasons will be shared in the final comment.
IN PRODUCTION – a status showing that the selected product is currently in the production phase.
COMPLETED – a product or a group of products are finally produced and delivered to our store. Links to these products will be provided in the last comment, so you can easier find them on our pages.
