Silk Road Yarn & Soap Club

February — Mongolia: Cashmere & Felt

The Details

Yarn colors will be inspired by, but are not limited to, the monthly mood board offering a variety of colour variations throughout the year. Expect a mix of solids, tonals, and lightly speckled yarns for a beautifully diverse collection.

There is the option to add an extra's bundle which includes a bar of our cold processed soap and a themed gift or treat. You can also choose to add on a bundle of mini skeins and extra soaps. Please see this listing here to add your extras. (if you do not wish to include anything extra you will receive just the yarn you ordered in a pared back version of our usual yarn club).

Please note that items ordered together with yarn club subscriptions will be shipped at the same time as the club. If you need other items sooner, we recommend placing a separate order.

Select your preferred yarn base and the number of skeins you would like to order. For orders exceeding four skeins or if you wish to mix and match yarn bases within the same club, email us at naturalfibrearts@gmail.com. We’ll happily organize a custom invoice so you’re not charged twice for shipping.

Yarn clubs close at the end of the previous month and are shipped by the middle of the corresponding month. This allows us time to dye the yarn and curate the special treats we include. For example, January yarn clubs are pre-ordered in December, closing at the end of the month. They will be dyed in the first week of January and shipped as soon as they are ready.

Yarn bases will vary with the Australian seasons. Alongside our regular bases, you’ll see seasonal additions throughout the year—such as sparkle yarns near Christmas, cotton or linen blends in the warmer months, and heavier-weight yarns like DK and Aran during cooler seasons.
