Yarn Club 2024: Beyond Merino - Farm to Yarn Edition
Sold out
Note: Our club for 2025 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 be notified when registration opens, please use the form below.
Are you curious about where your wool comes from? Would you like to know exactly what journey your yarn takes between sheep and knitter, and how different breeds, farming practices, spinning methods and dyeing techniques contribute to your final project?
Join our year-long club to deepen your understanding of wool by exploring 6 different farm-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. Debbie and Elizabeth will be your guides through this year of wooly adventures (with help from the sheep farmers we're collaborating with), and we'll be meeting on Zoom to share our thoughts, impressions, and project planning for each box.
