I am now taking preorders for the January colorway of the Vincent van Gogh Yarn Club. The January colorway is inspired by a very early painting by van Gogh, “Scheveningen Woman Knitting.” This colorway features grays, tans and blues to match the original artwork.

This order is available in multiple bases and includes only the skein and a fact card about the artwork. To receive all of the monthly goodies you must subscribe to the full club, which can be done on my website.

“I dream my knitting, and I knit my dream.”

Vincent van Gogh has been an inspiration to many, including myself, but how would you interpret those gorgeous paintings into yarn? Come along with me on this journey to find out! From his earliest paintings of the common folk to the little yellow house to the ever famous “Starry Night,” this year is sure to be an adventure in painting!

Each month of 2023, I will be creating a yarn colorway inspired by one of van Gogh’s works, starting with his earliest and ending with his last. Each month’s colorway will come with a fun fact card that is all about the work in question and/or his life at that time.

$45 gets you a skein of yarn, the fun fact card, a monthly stitch marker and one to two other items that are van Gogh related. Some items may be knitting/crochet tools, others may just be fun items. Subscribers will also receive a discount on other items from my shop, including the option to order more of each monthly color at a discount.

Subscription members will get their choice of yarn base each month and an email will be sent to ask what you’d prefer. If you do not reply, the default base is my “light” base – 100% SW Merino, fingering, 400yds. Right now, other options are DK (100% SW Merino) and sock (Merino/nylon blend).

Not sure if you want to subscribe? I will usually have a preorder each month for the skein only (no items included).

All packages will ship the last week of the month, to ensure that I have plenty of time to account for all subscriptions, dye yarn, and find goodies.

For the July edition of my Andy Warhol Yarn Club, I am featuring the iconic sculptures created to represent the Brillo Soap Pad Boxes. These sculptures once again represent Andy Warhol’s idea of art imitating life, while also raising the question about commercial products as works of art.

Skeins of this colorway feature a tie-dye effect of reds, whites and blues, just like the sculptures. You have your pick of my usual bases and orders must be placed by July 22nd so that I may dye and send packages by the end of the month.

We are halfway through the year already and the June colorway for my “Andy Warhol Yarn Club” is ready for preorders! This month I am featuring one of the many famous Marilyn Monroe screenprints. This specific print features a pink and yellow image with areas of black to outline the features.

Select your base and how many skeins you want from my website. Base choices include Light, Sock, DK and Sport. All packages come with the yarn and a fact card about the artwork. Preorders are open until June 23rd, with yarn packages shipping the last week of the month.
