Showing yarn clubs

We had a little hiccup this past season in the SpaceMonster Club. The maker I had lined up for our end-of-season gift had a family emergency which meant she wasn’t able to complete the commission. It put us in a pickle, to say the least, and I found myself scrambling to find a replacement.

So I turned an old friend in the industry: a fabulous potter whose hand-thrown mugs are incredibly popular but, even better, who I knew would come through for us. We’ve done many yarn shows alongside her, sharing tools during booth set-ups and dinner after a long show day. I reached out and she said yes immediately.

And when the gift arrived, it was better than I’d even hoped.

That’s the thing about hand-makers — about potters like her, dyers like us, and knitters and crocheters like you…

We know that what we make isn’t about the product we have in the end (I mean, how many times has someone looked at your project and told you, “Y’know, you could just buy a hat?”), it’s about the making.

And even more, when we make with materials that have also been hand-made, it’s about the connection from maker to maker… from potter to dyer… from dyer to knitter and crocheter…

And that is why we love dyeing for our club members most of all. Because nowhere is that connection stronger.

When we stand in front of the dye pots thinking of colour inspiration, we’re imagining what you’ll think as you open the box. When we commission the gift, we’re hoping you’ll love it. And when I write the dyer’s notes, I’m writing to you.

And that connection with our club members? Well, I think it’s pretty special.

We’re getting ready for the next season of the SpaceMonsters Club and we’d love to have you join us! But we don’t have long — the next parcel is due to go out at the end of this month — so if you’d like to join our colour adventure, you’ll need to act quickly.

The SpaceMonster Club will be open for new members for only a few days, so that we can get started packing the next colourway!

I’m excited for the new colours we’ve come up with for the next season. Will you join us?

We’ve got a rich colorway this week that we know you’ll love! Caledonia was the latin name bestowed upon the area of Britain that lies north of the River Forth, i.e. Scotland. It’s a romantic name that conjures all the mystery and intrigue of the country and this colorway captures it perfectly! Our colorway was originally named for the color of the train, the Caledonia Sleeper, that we rode when the Yarny Ewes travelled to Scotland and now, it can be yours! Caledonia is available on a number of bases, so snag your favorite!

Due to popular (and loud!) demand, we’re reopening the Bee Keeper’s Quilt Club this week for a short time! This monthly subscription nets you a beautiful, exclusive colorway each month on your choice of two bases, a private Facebook group, premium bee-themed goodies and more as we trek towards our final goal of a completed hexie blanket. Positive reviews abound for this club and we hope you’ll join in the fun! Learn all the details online.

Casapinka has released her new Desert Sunset Shawl and we have kits!

So much is happening this week and we don’t want you to miss any of it! Join us at 9:30 AM EST this morning (Saturday) for our LIVE! podcast over on YouTube!  We can’t wait to see EWE!

Welcome to the 2023 Midyear Solstice Calendar preorder! Preorders close at the end of February or when sold out!

This solstice calendar is going to be a bit special. It is inspired by moths — the part of the family Lepidoptera who are shamelessly in love with lightbulbs, dance in the air at night, and who are exquisitely adorned in the most glorious tones, hues and patterns. This will be a Yarn Therapy palette with complex colourways creating a cohesive fade, featuring exclusive colourways nobody has seen before! There will be speckles, variegated and tonal skeins. And they’ll play beautifully together, both as a fade, or reordered to create contrast!

As always, everything will be lovingly hand dyed in my little solar-powered dye studio in small town Aotearoa New Zealand, before making its way to your doorstep.

It will comprise:
~20x 20g mini skeins that have been carefully and lovingly handdyed by Jo.
~1x 100g skein, also lovingly handdyed by Jo, that coordinates with the minis and makes the whole collection sing!
~A handmade linen project bag — strictly exclusive to this solstice calendar
~A couple of quality surprises scattered throughout

The images here are merely to give you an idea of some of my inspiration, and some examples of previous solstice calendars for an idea of what you might expect… you’ll have to order the calendar to see what’s included this year!! The full-sized skein will coordinate with the minis and be in the same base yarn.

Each skein will come individually wrapped and numbered so you can play along and open a mini skein each day until the full-sized skein to celebrate the midyear Solstice on the 21st… or you can open them all at once, or whenever and in whatever order you like — it’s your calendar and your business!!

Yarn base options are:

*Merlin:
90% superfine Superwash Merino
10% Belgian linen
single ply construction
20g/73m each x 20 mini skeins

*Trust:
80% superfine Superwash Merino
20% nylon
High twist 2-ply construction
20g/73m each x 20 mini skeins

Calendars will ship out via courier in early to mid May to arrive in plenty of time for June 1st, regardless of your location! Please order the calendar by itself, since these will be specially packaged and not ship out until May.

The last plant of the Wicked Seeds club is Hemlock, available on Nectar: 60% SW Merino 20% Silk 20% Yak 100G 400yds

Hemlock is a commonly misidentified plant, not to be confused with the Hemlock tree (harmless) or water hemlock (not so harmless) but also more common plants like carrots, Queen Anne’s Lace and wild Chervil leading to a tragic error. One of the key features to make sure what you are foraging is not Hemlock, the stalk of this plant has distinct purple/red markings up its green stalk.⁠ It was a popular old Germanic funerary herb, who believed it was a plant of great hatred and harbored resentment for other plants favored by people like rue that it won’t grow anywhere near it. ⁠But the use of this plant did not start there in ancient Greece it was the state poison of executions in Athens as well as the cause of death for historical figures such as Socrates who was found guilty in his trial after riots broke out in Athens and given a cup of Hemlock extract.⁠

Digesting true Hemlock will cause tremors, dilated pupils, vomiting and muscle weakness to start but can also turn into kidney failure, muscle paralysis, Low blood pressure and a slow heartbeat.⁠
