Yarn Club 2023: Beyond Merino - A Year of Adventures in Wool
Sold out
Note: Our club for 2024 will be opening soon and current club members will be given priority if they wish to join for next year. If you’d like to join the waiting list, please send us a note via our Contact Form below and we’ll notify you if a spot opens up.
Are you curious about sheep and wool, but a little overwhelmed by all the possibilities out there? Maybe you've knit with merino yarn, or a little bit of BFL, but when it comes to Polwarth, Corriedale, Rambouillet, or Cormo you're just not sure where to start?
Join our year-long club to deepen your understanding of wool by exploring 6 different breed-specific yarns! You'll receive a new box of hand-dyed yarn every other month with all the info you'll need to understand what makes each wool special and to plan the perfect project to take advantage of its particular characteristics. Catherine from Small Bird Workshop will be guiding us through our wooly adventures, and we'll be meeting on Zoom to share our thoughts, impressions, and project planning for each box.
