We have a monthly fiber club here at Hello Yarn, sold in 3 month subscriptions. At the moment, we're full up and are working at adding new members from a (closed) waiting list. If there comes a time that we are able to take new members, I'll be sure to post on the blog. Current members are given the opportunity to renew before new members are invited.
For now, information on how the club works:
Members will be treated to 3 monthly installments of 4 oz. each of my hand-dyed wool or wool blend fiber, delivered to their doors. Let me choose the color and fiber for each month. All of my fibers are hand-dyed with color and wash fast acid dyes, so your creations will last a very long time. A range of fibers will be offered, from kitten soft to good strong medium wools. Only the fibers I love to spin myself will be chosen. Some fibers will be hand wash and some machine-washable. Club colorways will not be available to non-members.
A "Double Dose" option is available. For $51 more, you get twice as much fiber and only have to pay shipping once.
Value is comparable to any hand-dyed fiber available from the shop.
Shipping is by USPS Priority Mail in the US and will take a few days to arrive. Non-US/Canada orders incur higher shipping charges, so be sure to add the shipping option to your country. Non-US orders ship USPS Airmail. Your order will take about a week to arrive.
Two month's shipping in the US and Canada is included in the membership price. Adding the non-US/Canada surcharge will take care of the extra cost of shipping outside the US/Canada for those two months. Another month's shipping fee will be added to all orders at checkout: $6 in the US, $9 to Canada, and $15 to all other countries.
In the US, cost for the club works out to $23 a month or $69 total, including shipping. For Canada, it works out to $24 per month or $72 total, and for members outside the US/Canada, it works out to $27 per month or $81 total, including shipping. Fibers will ship around the middle of each month.
There's a Ravelry group and Flickr group where you can show off your creations and see what other people are making from their fiber. Please do check them out. People are doing lovely work.
