Four Seasons of Fibre Club
We’re getting ready for another brand new year of the SweetGeorgia Yarns Fibre Club. Just last week, I mailed out our 12th installment of Fibre Club offerings… members are still receiving them so I won’t be posting photos of it yet…. but you can follow along on the Ravelry group! Having never offered a fibre club before, I have had so much fun this past year thinking of things to dye and showcase. I’ve had the chance to play with all sorts of fibres that I rarely work with… including Falkland (which seems to be popular with spinners), Shetland, tussah silk and Tencel.
Occasionally this past year, I’ve had a couple fibre club members subscribe but not realize that it was actually spinning fibre. And since they didn’t actually know how to spin, I was perfectly happy to dye up some sock yarn skeins as substitutes for the fibre.
I’m enjoying the creative freedom in being able to dye new colourways and play with some luxurious new blends. I’m even tempted to offer a “Yarn Club” type subscription if enough people are interested.
Want to join us for our second year of Fibre Club? We’re taking new subscriptions now on the online shop and you can always follow along with our Ravelry group. The Fibre Club members have all been so positive and active about spinning up their fibre and posting photos. Reminds me that I need to finish spinning the Wensleydale in my own set of November fibres.
I’ve just learned to spin and might have to join your fiber club! I love that winter spice colorway. Its gorgeous.
Welcome to the world of spinning, Diana!! … and welcome to fibre stashing
If you offered up a yarn club, I’d be there! I don’t really have time for spinning (or learning how to spin on a wheel) until I’m done grad school… in August!
Hi Gemini!
I’d be willing to dye up your Fibre Club as a Yarn Club if you like!
I’ve done that in the past and given the member different types of
sock yarn, or if there is a different yarn base you’d like. Just let
me know! I’m pretty flexible.
Hope you are enjoying grad school! … it would make me very envious
if you said you had time to knit during lectures…..
Best,
Felicia
I would love it if you did a yarn club!!! I love your yarns but do not feel like taking on learning to spin at this time!!!
Thanks Erin! Maybe I should really consider going ahead with the yarn club idea…
I’d also be interested in a yarn club, rather than a fibre club, as I have no clue how to spin.
My 4-year-old desperately wants to learn to spin though… we’ll see if that desire sticks.
Forgot to mention that the Winter Spice colorway is amazing! I love it!
I missed out on the club this time around but I am wondering if you will post for the next round? I want to sign up then!
Thank you!
Hi Rebecca! No worries… the next round is up now! http://shop.sweetgeorgiayarns.com/products/sweetgeorgia-fibre-club
Oh, I really want to sign up for the next Fibre Club! I don’t know how to spin though. Could I place an order and just make a PayPal note that I’d like my fibre spun for me?
If you don’t have the time to do that, I totally understand!
