How does a knitting subscription box work?

September 13, 2022

Your knitting subscription box questions, answered!

I'll admit to being wildly curious about OPSBs (Other People's Subscription Boxes.) What's included? How are they packaged?

Last year for Christmas, Mom gave me a sock knitting kit from Knit Picks. It was OK, but definitely had that packed-in-a-warehouse feel.

At The Spinning Hand, we want you to feel special and beloved when you open your box. We plan personal touches that make each month's project completely unique. You'll never feel that the package has arrived from a robot in a faraway factory.

3 steps to enjoying your subscription from The Spinning Hand

1. Choose Standard or Deluxe-with-needles subscription

Choose your box - pick from standard (yarn + project) or upgrade to deluxe and get knitting needles too

The main difference between standard and deluxe? With the Deluxe version, you'll receive knitting needles in the correct size for each project.

We also offer yarn winding services for our Deluxe members upon request.

The needles are name-brand and highest-quality, such as Lykke, addi, Knitter's Pride, and Clover.

This is a great option for people (ahem, me) who always have a ton of WIPs (works-in-progress) and their needles are otherwise occupied; or for newbies (we 💗 you) who want to complete their collection of tools.

2. Choose from 3-month bundle or quarterly subscription

Knitting Kit of the Month Club | 3 Month Bundle | Choose Regular or Deluxe with Needles - thespinninghand

Most new subscribers choose the 3-month subscription. This is a great way to try a subscription box without a long-term commitment.

Month 1: Kinship Hats
Month 2: Classic Chic Market Bag
Month 3: Striped Alpaca Socks

The 3-month bundle also makes a wonderful gift!

You can customize your gift with a handwritten message.

Miriam O., my customer in Israel, made my day last week when she wrote:

"If you only knew how helpful your kindness and kits were, you'd be amazed.
It's been so impactful on my mental health. I would never have imagined..."

I actually can imagine, because knitting saved my life. But that is a blog post for another day...
