For the theme this round, I am returning to the rabbit-filled warren of Watership Down. Last year saw a club inspired by this favorite book, and I had so many ideas that I didn’t even get close to using all of them. Last year the colors were Thlayli, Flayrah, and Hazel. What will the colors be this time? I won’t tell you - it is a surprise, after all - but if you enjoyed the last Watership Down inspired set, or are sad that you missed it, you’ll love what I have in mind.

There are six different options of club. SIX! Be sure to pay attention and choose exactly what you want. I have two options with no swag, in sock or worsted weight. Then for those that want swag, there are four different options -- sock with fragranced swag, sock with unfragranced (in case I do soap or lotion, I don’t want to irritate anyone’s sensitivities or allergies), and then worsted with fragranced or worsted with unfragranced swag. Like I said, be sure to pick the one you want. I’d hate to have to explain why you didn’t get swag, if you chose the swag-free version. (This is only the second round with so many options, which is why I’m making a big deal about it.) Each option gets you three skeins of yarn in the weight of your choice; one each sent in January, February, and March (club ships on approximately the 10th of the month, although I do try to get International packages in the mail a week before that, so that hopefully all yarn arrives at close to the same time).

Shipping prices vary with location. While on my site you can now get real-time carrier shipping prices for both USPS and FedEx, you unfortunately can’t see those prices until entering the checkout process. Each month, even with swag, usually weighs less than 13 ounces and my preferred shipping for that is USPS First Class, which is roughly $3.50/month for Domestic and with the increases around $8/month for Canada. If you have any questions about pricing please feel free to drop me a line, with your zip code, and I can use the online USPS shipping calculator to get you an approximate price. Local pickup is available; feel free to contact me before purchase if you’d like to discuss this more.
