Last week I placed an order for Elann's offer of 52 sample skeins of yarn! I figure it'll be a good way to see and touch a variety of yarn types! I can also use them for Freeform Crochet!

Have samples to knit with before new closeout and special purchase yarns are offered! Subscribe to receive sample skeins of all new closeout and special purchase yarns for one full year - one sample skein for every Tuesday of every month - 52 sample skeins per year! Sample skeins are 10 yards each for the majority of yarns, 5 yards each for bulky yarns yielding 65 yards per 50g or less, and variable for rare precious yarns where Elann price is greater than $10.00 USD per 50g.

Included with your Sample Skeins Subscription will be a matching complimentary subscription to our Newsletter - a value of $20.00 USD!

Best of all, the purchase price of your subscription will come back to you over future yarn purchases. Your skeins subscription comes with 21 electronic credit vouchers of $2.50 - each worth $2.50 USD off every $25.00 USD in future yarn purchases (no time limit).
