A yarn subscription service that provides yarn from family-owned farms and mills. A great way to support small family-owned artists, farms, and businesses, this subscription service will be the gift that keeps on giving, all season long.”-

Heart Hook Home

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 Feral Scene) may be just what the doctor ordered!.”

-New Wave Knitting

My Favorite Artisanal Yarn Subscription Box:

Why I Recommend It: In case you don’t know already, I’m a HUGE fan of supporting small makers and creators. Feral Scene 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.”
