So, it seems the thing everyone is using these days is a monthly/quarterly subscription service and yarn/fiber clubs are no exception! I find myself drooling over a couple of them in particular, partly due to the fact that cookies have tracked me looking at them and I find their ads showing up on every web page I go to--sometimes 3 ads from the same place! It's getting more and more tempting, but some are obviously quite expensive. Also, I find myself having limited time to knit and crochet and wanting to use my stash and for those reasons, I've steadfastly resisted jumping on board. I'm still so old-school that I've not bought into Bluprint's service, even though I was a Craftsy member, since I can still have access to all the classes I purchased before they switched to Bluprint. I just know that monthly charges here and there, no matter how small, are so easy to buy into; then add in all your Patreon podcasts and those all add up! (Again, I've not bought any patreon subscriptions either--just hate those small monthly things adding up!) I do get the reason people do the Patreon option as a business; their time is definitely worth something and they are creating helpful content, so totally understand it.
But I'm curious how many of you have tried one of these "clubs", "crates", etc. for any sort of service--knitting, crocheting, fiber for spinning, etc.? If so, was it worth what you spent?
