2012 8-Month Spinning Club ~ United States

Fibers to make your spirit sing! These luxuriously soft and beautiful fibers are dyed in small batches of unique, saturated color. All colors in the Club are unique and will not be available to the public for one year. A variety of colors and dyeing methods will be utilized to create some softly variegated fibers, as well as semi-solid colors that are better for cables and other detailed stitchwork.

I have put together a selection of different fibers for a unique spinning experience each month. Cashmere / Bombyx Silk Top is available only to club members and through Carolina Homespun. In addition, the 85% Polwarth / 15% Bombyx Silk Top is a new blend I am considering adding to my regular repetoire, and as club members you'll be the first to experience it (and let me know what you think :-D ). Each of these yarns and fibers are created with the highest quality fibers from around the world.

The Club is a monthly subscription rather than a lump sum payment up front. The price per month represents the total cost of the Club Fibers, less twenty-five percent (25%) for Special Club Pricing, plus shipping, divided by eight (8) monthly payments.

Please note that your payment will occur on the same day each month, depending on the initial subscription date, and will therefore occur 4 to 6 weeks prior to each club shipment (so at the commencement of the club, you may pay January and February both before receiving the first shipment, but it will all even out in the end.

This monthly amount will be charged automatically through PayPal.

The Club includes these One-0f-a-Kind, Handpainted Yarns:

March 1: Four ounces of 100% Falklands Wool Top (which is a crossbreed comprised of Corriedale, Polwarth and Dohne merino, a dual –purpose merino developed in South Africa)
April 1: Four ounces of 80% Superfine Merino / 20% Cashmere Top
May 1: Four ounces of 50% Cashmere / 50% Bombyx Silk Top
June 1: Four ounces of 85% Polwarth / 15% Bombyx Silk Top

September 1: Four ounces of 75% Superwash Merino / 15% Cashmere / 10% Bombyx Silk Top

As in previous years, subscribers may choose the color of their cashmere shipment (all other shipments will be in a variety of colors that are a surprise :-D ). Color choices for the cashmere shipment are as follows. Please note that color descriptions are just for a general idea of the color family for each option, but are not yet set colorways.
