The Spinning Hand | Our Values

• We support small women and minority owned businesses whenever possible. We love supporting businesses whose products are made in America, and also love including handmade items in our subscription boxes.

• Your delight is our top priority! We are here to support you and ensure you love your purchases. Have a question? Help is just a quick email away! If you aren't happy with your purchase for any reason, please let us know. We'll issue a full refund - or store credit, if you prefer - and you'll enjoy a hassle-free experience. Email us directly at info@thespinninghand.com. 

• Your knitting time is precious, and should be joyful. You deserve clear and easy-to-follow pattern instructions. Our designs are professionally tech edited and tested by other knitters before we share them with the world.

• You deserve to work with “the good yarn.” You deserve to be treated to the best materials, and we test everything that’s included in our shop and in our boxes.
