Explore and knit a range of animal and/or vegetable fibers (sheep, goat, camelids, yak, silk, and cotton are some possibilities) in undyed shades from cream to khaki to gray to chocolate. Experience the soft, lustrous, stout, and sturdy array of fibers from fascinating farm producers around the globe. Each package is a surprise; yarn weights and fibers will vary; designs for knitted accessories and home will make the most of each yarn’s unique character with fun to knit stitch patterns and constructions.

Choose from two levels of club membership:
The full ride: includes six bi-monthly (every other month) installments of yarn and random goodies shipped right to your door, plus the barenaked digital eBook downloads. Full ride members may also “double dip” to receive twice the yarn quantity by choosing the extra yarn add-on—perfect for those who enjoy expanding their options to knit multiples and larger sizes. Our popular eBook (pattern-only) membership is also available for those who prefer to make their own yarn selections.

While undyed yarn selections are not necessarily exclusive, we scour the fiber world to find unique, artisanal yarns that are typically available only in small runs through local markets and are not yarn shop staples. We have several yarns custom spun each year exclusively for our barenaked knitspot club which are often available only as long as supplies last.

There will be one yarn and shade for each bi-monthly shipment. Substitutions will not be possible, though trading within our membership is allowed. In the rare event that a yarn selection is available in more than one color, shipments will be randomized.

Designer notes and beautiful photography are delivered bi-monthly in chapter format spotlighting the producer of that month, with a lesson about the type of yarn and fiber included, along with the project pattern.

delivery:
The barenaked yarn club begins shipping in February 2014, one installment every other month through December, 2014—a total of six (6) club packages. Yarn shipments will be posted on the 7th (international) and the 14th (USA) in order to arrive mid-month (every other month) unless those days fall on a weekend or holiday.

The eBook chapters will be delivered as digital downloads through the Knitspot club website and the Knitspot ravelry pattern shop on the 17th of every other month.

All yarn club packages will be shipped USPS first class mail; international shipped in a VAT-friendly manner. Extra yarn will be shipped in a separate package when necessary.
