Twisted Tales Yarn Club: Bestiary
The yarn club for lovers of myths, legends and lore is back for 2025, and this time we're taking inspiration from mythical creatures and the stories that shaped them.
Each month's package contains:
-
100g hand-dyed sock yarn in your choice of 4ply or DK - in a colourway created especially for the club based on the beast of the month
-
A themed stitch marker - one for each creature, to build your own bestiary
-
A specially written and presented chapter of lore - each month I personally research and write a page exploring the origins and history behind the myths. Printed and presented in a wax-sealed envelope for added mystery!
-
Optional 20g mini skein - choose to sprinkle some extra magic for a full sock set

May: Gryphon
With the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, the gryphon is what happens when the king of beasts collides with the king of birds....

🔮 Next Month? 🔮
A new page is waiting to be turned...
When does it ship?
Yarn clubs are all dyed to order once the listing closes at midnight on the 15th of each month. They will be posted out in the last few days of the month.
Can I add something else to my order?
Anything ordered at the same time as a club will be posted along with it, so if you need something sooner please make a separate order! If you take out a monthly subscription, I'll send you a personalised coupon that you can use to have other purchases bundled with your yarn club order throughout the month and save on postage.
How do I manage my subscription?
If you choose the monthly subscription option, the payment will be taken on the same date each month unless you choose to cancel, or until the yarn club finishes. You can cancel at any time by emailing me at naomi@skeinhawkyarns.co.uk
Are the colours designed to go together in one big project?
All the yarns are intended to stand alone, they won't deliberately form a set. Some will be variegated, some tonal, and I use a variety of dyeing techniques including speckling and pooling.
Can I see the colour in advance?
Nope, soz! The colourway remains a mystery until it arrives in your eager hands. The theme of the month will give you a hint but the surprise is part of the fun! You can see previous reveals in the listing, and the galleries on this page, to get a taste of what you might receive...
OK, but what is a bestiary?
Popular in the Middle Ages, bestiaries were illustrated compendiums describing all sorts of animals*, real and imaginary. Each description would be accompanied by a moral lesson, but I promise there's no moralising here!
*Bestiaries also described types of rocks, but we won't be going down that road.
