Why We Love It:

It’s yarn… with a twist! 🎲

Each $5 Surprise Skein is a hand-picked from our studio stash—pulled from past bestsellers, rare overstock, and small-batch extras. You won’t know what weight or colorway you’ll get—but that’s half the fun!

Normally $18–$25, this is the perfect way to treat yourself, spark creativity, or top off your cart with something totally unique (and totally worth it).


🎁 Great for:

 

  • Yarn stashes that crave adventure

  • Gifting to fellow crafters

  • Adding joy to your next project

 


Ready to roll the dice? One skein per mystery—every pick is a surprise worth unwrapping.

Nice surprise

I received the January "yarn of the month." It's not one I generally picked out, but it's still a nice surprise! I don't know what I'm going to make with this, but it'll be worth it!
