cotton candy, reimagined.

Northern Virginia’s Custom Cotton Candy.

Organic Cane. Dye-free. Sustainable.

Polished enough for a wedding tent, personal enough for a backyard birthday.

Elevated. Organic. Unexpected.

if it’s not a core memory, why do it?

The Woolly Spoke was created for the woman who plans gatherings that are intentionally woven through every detail - no temu trinkets, no shortcuts, nothing that doesn't earn its place at the table.

For far too long cotton candy has meant red #40, blue #1, artificial flavors, and sticky fingers. We believe your core memories -the milestone and the mundane- deserve better.

    —Deepika, Bride

  • This was the best touch.

    —Samira, “Cheers & Tears” Host

  • This was the perfect summer treat to help us connect with new families! 100% recommend for business events. It's unexpected & absolutely delicious.

    —Annie, Potomac Music LLC

  • I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing experience yesterday. I sincerely appreciate your patience and amazing attitude and great work! The cotton candy was amazing and all of my guests loved it 😊 thank you for making my event so special and bringing a gift for me and my baby. You’re so sweet and I wish you nothing but the best! I will definitely be spreading the word about your cart to my family and friends and if I can write you a review somewhere I’d love to do that. Thanks again 💞

    —Areeza, Baby Shower Client

  • Organic sugar and no dyes is what sets you a part. Thank you for being a part of our celebration!

    —Linh, Sweet Sixteen Client

  • It was yummy. The flavor was on point, strong, but not over powering. My hands weren't sticky like I remember when I was a kid. If you are ever in the market for cotton candy this is your spot!

    — Melissa, Easter Favors

  • The tongs set it a part, a very nice touch.

    —Mo, Baby Shower Client

  • When his brother had your cotton candy for his birthday, Fenix had to have it as well. You will be in our rotation for a while. We love it.

    —Amy, Birthday Client

  • We had cotton candy bags from The Woolly Spoke at our daughter’s 6th birthday party and they were a hit! Kids preferred that over the toy goodies in their take home bags. We always aim to be inclusive of all our friends and having the peace of mind that the treat was allergy friendly, dye free & naturally flavored and everyone could have it was wonderful! The only thing I wish could have been different is actually having Genevieve spin live! 🫶🏽

    —Gaby, Birthday Client

  • The absolute best cotton candy around! And not only is the cotton candy delicious - Genevieve is also a delight to be around. She elevates every event with her delicious treats, fun cart & customizations and charming demeanor.

    —Carolin, Event guest

  • 1000/10 recommend. So so yummy! Love that it’s organic and dye free too. Genevieve is so sweet and responsive- can’t wait to see all she does, already so impressed!

Meet the Founder

Peace,

I am Genevieve. Raised among the cornfields of Iowa and settled in the State of Lovers in the name of love with a backdrop of several other deserts, big skies, and mountains in between. I am a daughter of the King, wife, mother of 2 sweet babes, caretaker of 2 dogs and a cat, and lover of all things outdoors. Literally.

When I am not spinning sugar you can catch me outside; in the front yard, the back yard, on a walk with the dogs, on a walk with the kids, hiking, backpacking, car camping, foraging, and exploring. I even met my husband hiking across the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.

I founded The Woolly Spoke in January of 2024. I created this mobile cotton candy cart business out of the love for entrepreneurship and gratitude for life! I researched a lot of mobile “timeless eats” options until I couldn’t help but pursue the adoration of a pinterest photo of the sweetest cotton candy cart. Shout out to @TheJollySheep. My original vision of a banana nice cream truck to ice cream sandwich bike to cotton candy cart went from months of research and several business plans to instant action that is still in motion 10 quarters deep.

The value of life is timeless, priceless, and oh so precious to me. We should honor and celebrate the extraordinary and mundane aspects of being alive. Life is the greatest mercy, grace, and blessing gifted to us. Thank you, Lord, for another day. I am grateful that I am able to celebrate life with others through a touch of whimsy and sweetness while holding steadfast to my values.

It is a high honor to witness family, friends, and loved ones gather to intentionally share joy. Whether it's a neighborhood block party, wedding, birthday, open house, or private celebration — I feel privileged to be even the smallest part of such a sweet moment curated for the people my clients love and trust most.

This is the day that the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

With gratitude,

Stay sweet,

Genevieve Jin
