The Hype

Do you spin your own yarn from fiber? If not, do you want to learn? Whether you’re just starting out, you use a drop spindle, a travel sized wheel, or a full sized spinning wheel, fiber is the most important part of the process. A monthly fiber subscription box (from CHY) may be just what the doctor ordered!- Heart Hook Home

My Favorite Artisanal Yarn Subscription Box: Crafty Housewife Yarns

Why I Recommend It:In case you don’t know already, I’m a HUGE fan of supporting small makers and creators. Crafty Housewife Yarns is a collective of indie dyers and spinners, and their subscription boxes are a great way to support their work! And not only do you support indie dyers and spinners, but the small farms where they source their wool. The colorways and textures of their yarns are awesome, and I highly recommend checking them out if you like working with unique yarn and shopping small. -New Wave Knitting
