VILLAINS hand dyed yarn blanket club

Description

***Note: this is a pre-order. Each month’s blanket club skeins will ship in the last week of the month. For example, the first month of the club will ship during the last days of January, February payments will ship at the end of February, etc. There is no one-off option for this club, signups close mid-January 2025. Please read the FAQ below.***

Choose from 4-ply, DK, Aran/worsted, or chunky/bulky weights. All weights will be dyed the same, the choice is just what you like working with most. 

2 skeins per month for a total of 24 skeins in a year, and a finished blanket (provided you don’t hide the skeins in your stash!). 

The gradient and feature images pictured show my inspiration for this year’s blanket club! This years theme is VILLAINS (see below for list of villains), some of our favourite pairings across the nerd spectrum. Each month will feature one skein inspired by the villain, and one skein inspired by their sidekick or henchperson. Each shade will be unique, adding up to 24 different skeins, sent linearly and designed to flow one month into the next. These would work for almost any blanket pattern, knit or crochet (or weaving if that’s your jam). 

Finished blankets pictured are from previous years, all made by me with my own yarn. I have both knit and crocheted these clubs in the past, usually in chunky because I like how those blankets look and feel. 

Additional product images are of PREVIOUS year blanket clubs, and are not representative of what this year will look like.

Q: How do I pay? 

A: This website uses an auto-renew capability. Whatever day you signed up, you will renew on that day every month. For example, if you sign up on January 2nd, your next payment will automatically be taken from the same payment method on February 2nd and so on and so forth. If the payment doesn’t go through, the system automatically makes three more attempts before cancelling your subscription. I can’t change that or reinstate your subscription once it cancels, so be sure to use a valid payment method. You can change your payment method in your account by signing in.

Q: What if I want to cancel? 

A: You can cancel at any time by logging into your account.

Q: Does a pattern come with this subscription? 

A: As crafters of many kinds participate in this subscription, we do not provide a pattern. In past years, Ryann of GamerCrafting has used simple crochet ripple and circular blankets, and the Northeasterly pattern by Skeinanigans. In 2022, she used the Safe Space pattern by Skeinanigans. (Note: these links lead to Etsy for purchase.) In 2024 she didn’t finish but was again making a Northeasterly.

Q: Is there a craft-a-long group?

A: We do not have a specific group for the blanket club, but you can join our growing Facebook group at this link. Be sure to answer all questions AND tick the box to agree to the group rules, or we can’t admit you!
