The Beatrix box subscription

Coming Soon

Shipping, payment & terms

Subscriptions are currently closed while I prepare the next box. They'll reopen again in late April.

We all know Beatrix Potter as the creator of Peter Rabbit and wee beautiful children's books. But, there is a deeper story to Beatrix and her illustrations, and I cordially invite you to join me in a journey of creative exploration, inspired by Beatrix and her art.

A SUBSCRIPTION UNLIKE ANY OTHER

The Beatrix Box arrives to your home every three months with a knitting pattern created by a guest designer, 2 skeins of my gorgeous hand-dyed yarn, and an artist-made surprise.

But, the Beatrix Box is so much more than this ...

It brings to life the values and artistic quality you've come to expect from Little Skein. It is a present to yourself, a delight to open, and fuels your knitting with inspiration and good feelings.

• The perfect blend of choice and surprise: I create multiple colorways for each box, and you choose which one(s) you want. This way, you always receive a color that thrills you. Each box has a different yarn base, from fingering weight to DK.

• Beauty that is everlasting: You may receive a new or a refreshed pattern that brings to life our shared values around slow, intentional and beautiful making.

• Joy that we celebrate together: Each box is centered around the idea of joy and making one's own place in the world. If you dive into the work and ethos of each maker involved, you will see a group of amazing people who, in their own ways, is forging a new path in the knitting community.

MY MOST ECONOMICAL YARN OFFERING

Subscriptions form the backbone of my creative business. Designing, making, and knowing that you're committed to this subscription lets me realize some economies, which I pass on to you.

• US subscribers receive shipping on the house, and international subscribers receive $10 flat rate shipping. This represents about a 10% discount off each box's public release price.

• Subscribers get to order extra yarn (if they want it) at 10% off. In most cases, it ships with your box before I release the collection publicly.

• You are part of my special circle, where I tend to you as I do my close friends, with stories and emails and my always-recognized superior customer service.
CURRENTLY OPEN TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS FOR Box #5 | Agaric

• Ships in late March to subscribers who join between February 24 and March 13

• 2 skeins of fingering weight House Blend no. 2 (70% superwash Merino wool, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon | 400 yards | 115g)

• New shawl pattern by @knitboop

• Artist-made surprise

FUTURE BOXES

The price of each box varies between $70 and $80 each, depending on the yarn base. My guest designers for 2021 are: Kavitha Raman (box no. 6), Dawn Henderson (box no. 7) and Tina Tse (box no. 8)

Each box includes:

• 2 skeins of yarn in a different yarn base

• A pattern from my guest designer

• Artist-made surprise

• Advance notice, so you can cancel a box before it's charged, if your circumstances or yarn needs change.
• Your first box will be Agaric, and it is charged when you sign up.

• The second box will be charged on April 15 (in about two months), and future boxes are charged every 3 months. (There's a slight ramp up period where I get new subscribers on the same schedule as ongoing subscribers.)

• You'll always get to choose your colors.

• I reveal the color palette and yarn base about a month before your box ships.

• I add to the pleasure of this special gift-to-yourself with regular check-ins and small stories while I'm making everyone's boxes.

• You can cancel at any time if your circumstances or yarn needs change (please see my refund policy which applies if you need to cancel after a box is charged).

Great colors and quality

I loved getting my Beatrix box. I chose to get random colors and am very pleased. They are a great pairing and I love the feel of the yarn.

Love the boxes!

Gorgeous yarns, lovely patterns, and always a special wee surprise! And customer service is outstanding and timely.

I LOVE this box!!!

The customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced, and this was before the first shipment! The colorways are just so gorgeous, the yarn is a delight to work with, and the pattern is so fun. The extra was adorable. This entire experience is so thoughtful and rich, from beginning to end. Yes, the yarn and pattern and extra are great, but so is the story that goes along with it and the thought-provoking pattern introduction. This just levels up the already fun experience of getting a box with surprises. I can't wait to see the next box. I'm so glad I found Little Skein in the Big Wool!

Such a fun box!

Not only are the yarns dreamy and lovely, the patterns are also always something I want the make! Plus the extras are SO FUN!! I love this box and look forward to every one!

This is what dreams are made of!

I'm on my second Beatrix Box and am completely smitten! I ordered extra yarn to make a sweater instead of the shawl, and I'm so glad I did. It's so scrumptiously soft and the color is my absolute favorite shade of blue. It's a rich color but very natural in tone, I literally gasped when I opened my box. Both of my boxes so far have been carefully and tastefully packaged and Anne is like the Mr. Rogers of yarn dyers, so kind and lovely. My project bag from my first box is my absolute favorite, and I have many! These boxes have brought so much joy during the pandemic, I only wish I had found Little Skein earlier!
