You know how it goes. You didn't need more yarn. And yet. 🎲

Each $5 Surprise Skein is hand-picked straight from our studio stash — we're talking past bestsellers, rare overstock, and small-batch extras that deserve a good home. Weight, colorway, fiber — all a mystery until it lands at your door.

Normally $18–$25. Yours for $5. We'll do the math on that one.

You might get:

  • A colorway you'd have never picked yourself (and then can't stop thinking about)
  • A rare find from a limited run
  • A new favorite hiding in our back shelves

Perfect for topping off your cart, gifting a fellow crafter, or just rolling the dice on something joyful. One skein per mystery — every pick is a surprise worth unwrapping.

Final sale. Ordering more than 1 may result in duplicate colors.

Who doesn't need more yarn?

Who doesn't need more yarn? My husband holds his breath every time I get a pkg from DGY. But I'm just excited to get whatever I ordered and and then the surprise ball of yarn. And then I have to play with it and figure out what it wants to be. That's the fun part.

Hi Jenny, we love that the surprise skein gets you dreaming up its next project! Thanks for sharing the fun—and we hope your husband enjoys the surprises too 😊 -DGY Team

Always fun!

Always enjoy the surprise skeins—have ordered many times. Always good quality and value, and like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get! A fun little gift to myself.

I bought 3

I bought 3, got 1 sunflower (beautiful!) and 2 of the lilypad (if I recall the name correctly), which is a stunning mesh of Blues/greens/pink!

Hi Erin, thanks so much for sharing! We’re thrilled you loved the sunflower skein and the beautiful blend of blues, greens, and pink in the lilypad. Happy stitching! 🌻🧶 -DGY Team

The surprise skein I got was water lilly and oh my goodness it's just so lovely. It's every bit as beautiful and easy to work with as all the other yarns I've gotten from here ☺️

Five Beauties

I am pleased with the five skeins I recieved. The colors were lovely, and I learned that recycled silk yarn could be 4 ply (Sunflower skein). I'd like to see more of those!

Hi Carole! Thank you so much for your lovely review 🌟 We're thrilled you enjoyed the skeins and discovered the recycled silk yarn. We'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind for more 4-ply options! Happy knitting! 🧶✨ -DGY Team

Loved all the beautiful colors

Enjoy getting surprised with fun yarns and new colors. I liked that it had several of some of the colors so that I can make a bigger project than what 1 skein can do.

Hi Laura! 🌈 We're so happy you enjoyed the vibrant colors and the surprise element. It's great to hear you can create bigger projects with the skeins. Thanks for sharing your love for our yarns! 🧶😊 -DGY Team
