  • Kindred Spirits yarn subscription

    5 items left

    A gift to future you.

    Do you love hand-dyed yarn? If so, this yarn subscription is going to delight you.

    It's a single skein (or more, if you're so inclined) of a brand-new, surprise colorway. Use your yarn for color play, for pushing your color boundaries, for inspiring your creativity, for squishing, and for wanting to cast on as soon as it arrives.

    You get:

    • A new skein of yarn, every other month
    • Hand-dyed on my most luxurious yarn base: Cashmere Blend, which has a delicious 20% cashmere content
    • Free-to-you shipping, which gives you a $6 discount
    • The option to order more if you ever fall in love with a color and want to make a bigger project
    • Ideas and inspiration on what to do with your skein
    • If this is a gift subscription, I'll send your gift recipient a little box with a membership card when they receive their shipment.

    Your subscription starts with the February/March skein (which ships in late February/early March).

    See the pictures of the last year's worth of club skeins to get an idea of my dye style.

    About the theme & colorway inspiration

    Each colorway is inspired by Anne of Green Gables. Whether you're a true fan of the book series or movies (original or Netflix remake) or simply want the prettiest yarn subscription you can find, this yarn is the one you will reach for, again and again, when knitting from stash.

    Shipping is free to you!

    Yep, you don't pay for the shipping on this package; I do!

    Subscriptions are a cornerstone of my business. This stability means I’m able to pay for your shipping and still earn a living wage. 😁

    You get ~$6 off your order by paying for the yarn only.

    I pay 100% of shipping for US subscribers, and offer $10 flat rate for international subscribers.

    This pricing structure reinforces my value that we’re always in community and working toward the common good!

    Subscription billing

    Each skein costs $34 (or $44 if you're getting a skein + mini). Your first charge happens when you sign up and, thereafter, on the 15th of these months: January, March, May, July, September, and November.

    You always pay for your skein first, then I dye it, and you will receive it before the next charge happens.

    You can cancel at any time, but if you leave your subscription in place, you'll get ongoing and wonderful yarn (6 skeins a year) as long as I am dyeing new colorways!

    FAQ about my yarn subscription club

    Yes! About a week after the club has shipped (or, about when your yarn arrives), I open a pre-order listing so you can order extra skeins for a larger project. I also tend to offer the colorway on different, seasonally appropriate bases, too.

    This blog post has ideas on what to do with a single skein, especially if the color isn't in your wheelhouse.

    The yarn club is a surprise, though, so if you don't like surprises, it's probably not a good idea to subscribe. That said, if you're truly disappointed by a colorway, my regular return policy applies: If you return your yarn within 30 days, I'm glad to give you a store credit.

    I ship everywhere except Europe and the UK. Unfortunately, country-specific laws put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic are not workable for me as a solo person business.

    Every other month, during the last week/first week of:

    • February/March
    • April/May
    • June/July
    • August/September
    • October/November
    • December/January

    You're charged for the first shipment when you sign up, and then on:

    • January 15
    • March 15
    • May 15
    • July 15
    • September 15
    • November 15

    Yes! Just log into your shop account, and click on "Manage Subscription." You can pause your subscription there. If you have any trouble, just email me.

    You can cancel at any time. Some folks sign up for a month or two, some sign up for a year, and some have been receiving Kindred Spirits yarn since I started the club in 2018!

    luscious soft yarn, recyclable packaging, gorgeous colors

    A knitting friend with similar values (support small businesses/ artists, environmental stewardship) told me about the Kindred Spirits subscription, which is like a CSA. While I haven't yet knit anything with the gorgeous hanks I get every 6 weeks, the colors will go together into a lovely soft striped sweater, or a shawl... it is luscious to contemplate.

    Gorgeous colors with specks of magic. Cashmere blend is the softest, most luxurious yarn! I love it!!!

    Colorful Luxury from a Kind Human

    This subscription is an absolute joy. The colors are beautiful, the feel of the yarn is luxurious at your fingertips, and Anne is responsive and genuine. Occasionally I don’t warm to a color right away, only to realize later that it’s just the right shade to work into a stranded project I’m planning. I previously had a subscription with a bigger yarn and pattern producer whose reputation did not map onto my experience. Kindred Spirits is superior in every way—most notably in colorway variety and customer service. Highly recommended.
