Welcome to the first Hanks Yarn and Fiber sock club!

Spots in the club will go up for sale on Saturday 09/20/08, at 12:30 PM (Eastern time, or whatever Florida is on). Obviously if you are in town you can swing by after lunch. But what if you’re interested but aren’t local? Rather than put this up for sale as an item on our online store, we would prefer that you call us (352.338.7222) after 12:30 on Saturday 9/20 so that we can go over the three different options with you, and discuss shipping.

As previously mentioned, our ulterior motive for this club is testing out new colorways for things to later offer in the shop, and also new/different base yarns. We will be asking for feedback on the colorways, how the yarn works up, and that sort of thing. In order to encourage feedback, we will be offering prizes for a variety of things (best percentage of yarns worked up, fastest work produced, etc.).

There are three options for this club. Please read the three options carefully and choose the one that best suits your wants and desires.

Option 1 (seven spots available) –
$100 for in-store pickup/$130 with shipping
You will get six 400-yard skeins of hand-dyed sock yarn, one each during the months of October, December, February, April, June, and August.

Option 2 (five spots available) –
$50 for in-store pickup/$65 with shipping
You will get three 400-yard skeins of hand-dyed sock yarn, one each during the months of October, February, and June.

Option 3 (five spots available) -
$50 for in-store pickup/$65 with shipping
You will get three 400-yard skeins of hand-dyed sock yarn, one each during the months of December, April, and August.

And now, the pinky swear: we promise to send you hand-dyed sock yarn and we promise to do our best to produce a quality product. We promise that the color for each month will not be for sale in our shop until six months after the month that we send it to you. We understand that the colors we choose to dye may not wind up being your particular favorite; we ask that just as we are not selling that color in a retail setting for six months, that you also do the same and promise not to sell anything you don’t like until after the six month mark.
