2) DETAILS:

Basic package:

Packages will contain the following items, made exclusively for this club:

– YARN: 1 full skein (100-115g) of luxury, hand dyed yarn in an exclusive colourway.
♥ Club colourways will only be available to Club members and will not be released publicly.

– PATTERNS:  2 patterns for each package (exclusive to Club members for 6 months). Patterns will be for 2 different items.

– PROJECT BAG (full year/6 shipment members only) designed and silk screened exclusively for the Club (full year members only)

Extras:

Extra Club Skeins:  extra skeins may be added to your Club package, allowing you to make knit both patterns or to make larger versions of some items (i.e.: scarves, shawls)

Mystery Skeins:  For those who just can’t get enough! Mystery skeins are random skeins chosen for you and put in your package. They are equivalent in value to your Club skein and can be any weight or colour. (We provide a survey that will let us know your colour preferences)

Yarn Winding Service: You may ask for your yarn to be wound in a cake for $1 per skein (proceeds set aside for our Otis Houndation)

Artisan Swag (full year members only):  For the first time, swag will be optional.  You can sign up for 1 larger gift to come in one of your packages, instead of several smaller ones.  What will it be? A surprise.  But here’s a hint: it will handmade by an artisan and it will be one of these — shawl pin, buttons, project or tool bag, knitting related mug or other dish ware, needles.

3) TERMS & FAQ’s

Terms:
Subscribing to the Club means that you agree to monthly payments withdrawn from your Paypal account for the duration of the Club, unless you have paid in full or have made other arrangements for payment. You must ensure that your mailing address in Paypal is correct.  If you move at any point between June 1, 2013 and April 15, 2014, please inform us of your address change as soon as possible by emailing us with your new address.  We must have your new address at least 15 days prior to a Club shipment to ensure it is sent to the correct address. There are no returns on Club memberships.  If you choose the monthly payment option and cancel your Club membership through Paypal, we will continue shipping packages until the value of your payments to date is used up. No refund will be issued for partial payments. If a monthly payment fails, we will make a reasonable attempt to contact you by email (at least two times). If payment can not be resolved at that point, we will cancel your participation in the club and no refund will be made for partial club shipments. (for example, if you are paid up for the June shipment, but not for August, we will ship the June package but hold the August package until full payment is received). If you discover an issue with your Pay Pal account, please contact us and we will work with you to resolve your account with us. You assume responsibility for packages delivered to the wrong address, if your address is incorrect in PayPal, if you have sent us the wrong address by email or if you have not given us sufficient notice (minimum 15 days prior to a Club shipment date) to change your address in our system.

FAQ

What is this?
A yarn club with patterns and options! Each package will contain 1 skein of indigodragonfly yarn and 2 patterns for that yarn.  Colourways are exclusive to Club members only and will never be available to the general public.  Packages will be shipped every second month, around the 15th of the month.

How many packages/how long is the commitment?
Packages will arrive every 2 months, so you’ll receive 6 packages if you sign up for the 1 year club, and 3 packages if you sign up for the 6 month club.  You can opt to pay monthly, or pay for the whole club at once at a significant discount (20% off the base price of the Club).  Packages will ship around the 15th of the shipment month.

When do payments start?
The Club will be open for subscriptions starting on February 14, 2013 and will be open until April 14, 2013 (or when we’ve reached our full capacity) You can subscribe through Paypal right here on this page.

When do shipments start?

June 15 will be the first shipment. Shipments will follow every second month on the 15th of the month until April 2014 for 1 year club members, or October 2013 for 6 month club members.

Who are the designers?
All designers have been chosen because we love their designs.  We know you will too.  Past designers have been Laura Nelkin, Kate Atherley, Meghan Jackson, Deb Barnhill and Stephannie Roy.

Will you ship to Canada?
Yes! I live here, so there will definitely be shipping to Canada. In fact, the prices quoted for the Club include shipping.

Is this a sock club? Are non-sock knitters welcome?
First of all, EVERYONE is welcome. The only requirement is that you have a sense of humour and are not easily offended. There will be a variety of projects throughout this Club. I like to knit different things and like variety…so that’s what you’re getting.
