This year I have three levels of involvement in the project at these partnership tiers.
Startup
This level is intended for smaller scale or new yarn dyers.
Package includes:
- Featured as a called for yarn in the pattern and on Ravelry
- Featured as a partner on the upcoming The Shawl Society Website
- Featured in at least one dedicated post on Instagram and Facebook
- Featured in accompanying blog post to the design
- Mentioned in the podcast and in the show notes as a link back
- Featured in the email newsletter
Cost for this tier is £120 + VAT, plus a prize for the monthly knit along for the pattern your yarn is featured in.
You also must commit to having the yarn in stock at least two weeks prior to the pattern going live.

Professional
By invitation to selected partners only.
Package includes:
- Featured as a called for yarn in the pattern and on Ravelry
- Featured as a top level partner on the upcoming The Shawl Society Website
- Featured in at least four dedicated posts on Instagram and Facebook
- Featured in accompanying blog post to the design as well as in an interview feature on The Shawl Society Website

- Featured as a top level partner on the Curious Handmade website for the month your yarn is featured
Cost for this tier is £375+ VAT, plus a prize for the monthly knit along for the pattern your yarn is featured in.
Additionally at this level, an affiliate agreement is in place whereby sales that come directly from links on my site or social media attract a 15% commission (exclusive of VAT) on the total order value.
You also must commit to having the yarn in stock at least two weeks prior to the pattern going live.
As I will be promoting your product across my entire audience, it’s likely that you will have interest from those who are not participating in The Shawl Society 2 as well as those that are. Effectively, it’s a personal recommendation from me to my audience. In the highly unlikely event you don’t sell anything, it also won’t cost you anything extra on top of the initial £375 + VAT; it is a percentage on sales I have sent to you. This year the percentage is 15% prior to VAT/tax.
