Time Travellers Club

Come with me on a magical adventure through the ages.
​We’ll be travelling through time, exploring the colours of the past.

So much of history has been shaped by colour.

Colours have symbolism, they showed political allegiance, social status, some colours have changed the world.
Maybe we’ll travel down the Nile with Queen Nefertiti, or take a walk down Carnaby Street in the Swinging Sixties, the world is our oyster, who knows where and when we'll end up.
Each month a parcel of blended fibre, designed by me, will pop through your letter box, accompanied by a letter explaining all about my inspiration for the fibre.

The fibre itself will be a blended combed top, just like the  Pigments & Nordic Collections, or the (now retired) Hiraeth, Ceilidh, Silk Road,Birds and Queens collections. The fibre content every month will change depending on what colours I decide to use, and the fibres that I feel are appropriate. I promise no Angora, but everything else might be used. (including sparkle). Any Merino is from non-mulsed flocks. 

Scroll down to see past blends, and read the accompanying letters.

The fibre will be sent out by the end of every month, following the month in which you make your payment. ie. payment in December for a January parcel. 


This is a rolling club membership. You sign up, and each month the same amount is automatically taken from your account on the 15th of the month. You keep your space in the club until you cancel the payment.
You can set up a subscription  at any time, and your first payment will be taken immediately. 
Your first parcel will be shipped the following month. Uncertainties with supply chains have meant it's not possible to give an exact shipping date. It may be that you will make 2 payments before your first parcel is shipped.

As a club member your data will be stored in accordance with our data protection policy. 
Clubs are non-refundable, unless the fibre is in some way faulty. Clubs are ideal for people who don't mind surprises, and enjoy having their colour choices stretched. There's usually a healthy market for extra braids of the club, so if you get a fibre in a colour that you really won't use it's often possible to sell it on to other spinners.
International parcels will be shipped with a customs form declaring the value of the fibre as listed above. For most countries this should mean that you do not pay any extra taxes and handling fees to receive your parcel. However, you are responsible for checking the rules and regulations for importing goods for your own country. 
​
EU customers, your order will be shipped using the IOSS system, and marked as tax paid.
