Yarn Subscription Box || Yarn Yay with Vickie Howell

Vickie Howell, one of my dear fiber friends, is back on the Yarn Thing Podcast with me today. We have EXCITING news to share with you about her yarn subscription box, Yarn Yay! Yarn Yay! aims to introduce subscribers to gorgeous yarns and on-trend projects.

YarnYAY! is more than a subscription box company, though. It’s an experience based in large part on community. Subscribers will always have a place to get help, stitch-along, and to share projects with fellow yarn-lovers. Learn more about Vickie, the subscription box and why February is an AMAZING starting box.

Yarn Subscription Box || Yarn Yay

If you haven’t watched the episode yet you might be wondering why I am so excited about the February box from Yarn Yay! Yes, I am excited that my friend Vickie is doing a smashing job with this box and always showing her subscribers new yarns and wonderful patterns but there is more!

February features not one but TWO balls of Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™! I am honored that Vickie has selected my yarn to be part of her subscription box. Chic Sheep is a gorgeous 100% Merino Wool yarn in 24 vibrant, machine washable shades. Not only is it a stunning natural fiber but is priced affordably so that most everyone can enjoy it.

Inside the subscription box you will also get a knit pattern and a crochet pattern. Each monthly box has two patterns that are similar, one in knit and one in crochet. Typically Vickie designs both patterns but this month she asked me to be a guest designer! Talk about double honored!

Grab your first box of Yarn Yay! and fall in love with a great selection of new yarns and patterns you didn’t know about before.

    I would have loved to watched live, but sadly I missed it, so I am super glad to be able to watch the replay! Happy early Galentine Day to all. I’ve told my Hubby forget the bouquet of flowers, I’d rather have a bouquet of Yarn!!

    Crochet and knitting in one box is awesome. The two crafts are too separated for some reason. As some who does both it’s a great joy to see this from a subscription box. Great Galentines Box!

    I can’t think of a better Galentine’s Day gift than a pair of knit or crochet convertible mittens made with Lipstick or Fairy Tale Chic Sheep yarn. Thank you for collaborating on this month’s Yarn Yay! box, Vickie and Marly!

    A group of my friends and I actually “celebrated” Galentine’s this year… most of us are married but due to work schedules weren’t celebrating Valentine’s on Valentine’s Day, so we all had a craft night on Valentine’s Day and called it our Galentine’s celebrations! 🙂
