When you think of a woman who is badass, what comes to mind?
Maybe Xena or Wonder Woman?
How about Eleanor Roosevelt or Jane Goodall?
Or the woman who runs a local community food drive or the local safe house for battered women?
There are a lot of ways to be badass, but I think the ones that hit closest to home, that help those we care about (and should be caring for), may be the ones that really make the greatest impact. Ninja skills are still pretty cool, but these lesser-known badass ladies tend to make our world better, brighter, kinder, and safer, without having to thrash a single villain or dish out a roundhouse kick.
To celebrate these women, and help them make a difference in the lives of others, KSD will be highlighting their efforts in conjunction with our very first monthly yarn club.
So with no further delay, I present:
the Badass Women’s Yarn Club!
Each month, your membership will include: one skein of yarn in an exclusive KSD colorway named for a woman who kicks ass for a cause, an exclusive coordinating Piebird Design pattern, free mini-skeins of other KSD yarns, and a special surprise gift. USPS first class postage to the US and Canada is included*.
10% of the month’s club cost will be donated to the affiliate charity/project of the Badass Woman of the month, to help them further the causes and rock the community action! Every month, I’ll be highlighting these women and their work on the KSD blog, so you can get to know more about these everyday crusaders in action.
Subscriptions are available for $40 per month, to be charged to your PayPal account each month in advance of shipment**, or save some cash & sign up to pay the whole she-bang in advance for $113 total for a 3-month subscription (you save $7.00).
**********************************************
Current estimated ship date will be the 15th of each month, September-November. If there are any changes to the shipping date, you will be notified ASAP, of course.
The yarns will be a different weight and fiber content each month, some sock, some worsted, etc, but all yummy!
I’m limiting the number of enrollments for the first offering of the club, so snag yours now if you want in on this fun project!
Have some fun, get some awesome yarn, and help others be badass, join the Badass Yarn Club!
*International customers: If you’d like to join, we’d love to have you, contact me at mail-at-kitchensinkdyeworks-dot-com and let me know your shipping address. I will process the shipping costs to your country and invoice you for the 3-month total for club costs plus international shipping. Monthly subscription payment is not available with this option.
**Your PayPal account will be charged $40 at sign-up, and $40 each month before the subscription goes out, dated each month to correspond with the day of sign-up ( i.e.- sign up on 8/5/10, the next two payments will go through on 9/5/10 and 10/5/10 for October and November club shipments). No need to worry about remembering to pay each month, this will be automatic.
