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).

Mystery No More, Watercolors Silk Roving Yarn

One little mistake of the wrong yarn sent with a 5 pack of silk ribbon yarn led to wonderful customer service (the mistaken skein was one that I'm allergic to) and a rapid replacement with a mystery skein... I mentioned that 4 ribbon yarns were plenty for me and was offered a surprise silk skein in replacement after saying this, so of course I said yes!They shipped out the replacement right away and it's so perfect for me! Worsted Weight Silk Roving in the Watercolors colorway, one that I didn't have and it will be so perfect as an amigurumi unicorn's mane that I'm planning to make as a Christmas gift for my neice!Thank you so much for the wonderful customer service! And what a fun surprise to receive!
