Yarn of the Month has been $25 a month for more than five years. Tomorrow it goes to $29.

I'll tell you exactly why: everything that goes into that box costs more than it did five years ago — the yarn, the dyeing, the shipping, the wages we pay the women in India who make it. We've been covering that difference ourselves and we've run out of room to keep doing it. Four dollars closes the gap.

If you join today, you pay $25 for as long as you stay a member. Not $25 for a while. $25, period. The increase only applies to people who join tomorrow or after.

And here's the case for it, if you're on the fence. Every week we put out a free pattern, and every week the question that comes back is the same one: what yarn do I use for this?

That's the whole idea. Three skeins arrive, a pattern arrives with them, and the answer is already in the box.
