Beautiful yarn month after month!
If you love a yarny surprise in your mailbox, this is the club for you. It's fun to discover new small dyers and receive something special every month. You many not love every colorway, but join the JBW Ravelry group and it's pretty easy to destash or trade...or even find more of the skeins you adore!
I gave the club 4 stars because while I have been quite happy with the yarn and JBW always ships on time not to mention their amazing customer service, you do pay full retail price or close to it plus shipping every month for each skein. Each membership is a single skein and memberships cannot be combined to ship together, so you if want 2 skeins, you pay shipping on both and receive 2 separate boxes. It would be nice to be able to choose more than one skein per membership to save $$ on mailing. Really just a very minor complaint though because we always receive quality skeins.
One final point. One of my favorite things about this club and something I really appreciate is that this is a yarn/stash club rather than a kit with pattern, notions, etc.. We occasionally receive a value added item like a code for a free pattern or something fun in the box, but we aren't paying a surcharge for things that we may never use.

Great quality
The skeins I received from JBW are still marked as made in Peru. The quality seems to be the same as older skeins I have in stash and still the same weight. The 220 quality standard seems to be being kept up and this yarn has always been a staple for certain types of projects.

Fabulous Yarn Every Month!
I love this club! JBW has perfected the yarn club experience with beautiful fingering weight/sock yarns at a great price. The dyers seem to go out of their way to dye something really special for the club shipment. I love having the chance to try yarn from different dyers and look forward to seeing what each dyer has created for their month.
I also really like watching the Ravelry thread to see the photos posted by other club members. It's such fun to see the variations in the skeins some dyers have a lot and others don't and to share both projects and project ideas. I've never been disappointed in any of the shipments because the yarn that arrives is always great quality. Plus, it's pretty easy to trade with other club members. I also think the price is terrific! Each skein comes in a project bag and the price includes shipping. The value is definitely more than the price. I love this club so much that I have two subscriptions!
