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 six different farm-specific yarns! You’ll receive a new box every other month with two skeins of yarn (one hand dyed and one the natural colour of the sheep) and 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.

All the yarns for the 2024 Beyond Merino subscription boxes will be sourced directly from the farms we’re collaborating with. There will be a strong focus on Canadian farms and yarns, with a box or two from farms outside of Canada.

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.

We’re offering a couple of different payment options for this yarn club, so you can choose to pay for all six boxes in advance or sign up for a recurring subscription. You can find all the details about what to expect on our website and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!⁠

Come join us on a year of colourful yarn adventures!

Are you curious about colour? Have you ever wondered why some colour combinations appeal to you while others might seem too boring or too loud? Join our Colour Wheel Adventures yarn club to learn all about colour relationships and how to confidently apply colour theory to your knitting projects, practice a variety of colourwork techniques, and create your own unique patchwork blanket!

12 boxes ~ 24 patterns ~ 36 colours ~ 48 mini-skeins

Our Colour Wheel Adventures yarn club is a year-long guided exploration of the colour wheel and colour theory in a fun and playful way. Each month you’ll receive four 25g mini skeins (three hand-dyed colours + one natural) and two new blanket square patterns to play with. We’ll host an online discussion group and regular Zoom meetups to discuss what we’ve learned and share our colourful experiments!

We want to offer our members an amazing experience including the yarn, colour theory mini-course, and community, while keeping this club as affordable as possible. The cost to join is only about $35 US per month including shipping! (We charge in Canadian dollars, so you’ll see the pricing on our website as $39 CAD + shipping/box.)
