The Six Kingdoms Yarn Club is a collaborative yarn club organized by The Unique Sheep and our retail partners. Our Seven Deadly S(p)ins Club was so much fun that we decided to do another themed club, but this time we are basing it on the Six Kingdoms of Life. Each shipment will be based on one of the kingdoms, sometimes the connection will be obvious, sometimes it will be less direct but we think its going to be a lot of fun to see what our designers come up with for some of the kingdoms (for example, how do you capture "Archaebacteria" in knitware?). Each shipment will include an original pattern by a different independent designer based on that shipment's Kingdom, the yarn required for the pattern dyed by Kelly and Laura of The Unique Sheep in a colorway created in collaboration with the designer, and of course some fun extras fitting the theme! If you were a member of the Seven Deadly S(p)ins Club you know we really enjoy putting together the "extras"!
Almost every shipment will include more than enough yarn to complete an alternate project (socks, gloves, etc) if the pattern included isn't "you".
Most people who sign up for yarn clubs love the "surprise" that comes with each pacakge, but if you are the type that likes to look before you jump, head over to our spoiler page (this link is safe for everyone- there are no spoilers on the first page).
Our Designers are:

Zana Marette
