"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you."

—Beatrix Potter
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. Beatrix forged her way in a male-dominated Victorian world to have a career on her own terms and to immerse herself in the things that brought her joy.

Four modern knitwear designers and I are taking inspiration from Beatrix's life and art to create boxes of knitterly joy for you. I cordially invite you to join us.

A SUBSCRIPTION UNLIKE ANY OTHER

Each Beatrix Box has a new pattern and yarn (or project bag) in it, but the box is so much more than this.

My subscription box brings to life the values and artistic quality you've come to expect from Little Skein. They are a present to yourself, a delight to open, and fuel your knitting with inspiration and good feelings.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Tab 2 (above) tells you specifically what's in each box, but what your subscription truly includes is:

• 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. (And you can order more if you love them all.)

• Harmony with each season: Each designer is paired with a seasonal box that plays to her style, so you receive a stunning pattern during the season you want to knit it.

• 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 the makers involved, you will see a group of amazing women who, each in her own way, is forging a new path in the knitting community.

I cordially invite you to join us in a world that's full of art, inspiration, beauty and a warm welcome.

Subscribers receive free-to-you shipping.

Thoughtful and well worth

The boxes I get so far were all packed with so much love and thoughtfulness. The imagination for bringing the bits and pieces together is oh so beautiful. The yarn qualities and colors are stunning, in richness and depth and liveliness hard to compete with. The patterns with the stories behind are so wonderful and fitting every time. I am so glad I had jumped on this wagon and I'm looking forward to the next stop in this journey. Thank you so much, Anne for this adventure! ♥♥♥

Beautiful yarn and patterns

I'm looking forward to having the time to knit up the cowl. It's such and interesting design and the yarn colors are just perfect!

Happiness in a box!

As a little child, I only wanted to read books with animals, I would reject any book with people in it. Needless to say, I loved all the Beatrix Potter books and even deigned to read those with humans. When I saw that Anne had a Beatrix Potter Box series, I had to get one. I am not disappointed! The colors, Loam and Tart, that I chose are gorgeous. I will say that Anne did make it hard as all six options were gorgeous and I really struggled to choose. The wool feels beautiful in my hand and should knit up beautifully. The shea butter salve that came with it is lovely as well. It has a delicate scent that is not artificial or cloying. As I said, happiness in a box !

All the nice things

Anne’s colors always have such depth and this collection is no different. Looking at them in different lights and various combinations reveal the wonder in each of them. They complement each other in many combinations and offer endless possibilities. The surprise gift of healing body butter will be a pleasant reminder of the joy in this box throughout the dark days of winter.
