Unboxing the Mary Maxim Crochet Club: A Surprising Return
Introduction
In this article, we will delve into the world of the Mary Maxim crochet club and explore the unboxing experience for the November 2019 edition. We will discuss the reasons behind switching from the knit club to the crochet club, the changes in shipping prices, and the excitement of receiving a surprise package filled with yarn and patterns.
Background on the Mary Maxim crochet club
For almost two years, I was a member of the Mary Maxim knit club. However, earlier this year, I decided to cancel my subscription due to the overwhelming amount of cotton yarn and increased shipping costs. Dissatisfied with the value for money, I started exploring other unboxings of the Mary Maxim crochet club.
Reasons for leaving the knit club
The primary reason for leaving the knit club was the abundance of cotton yarn and the associated shipping costs. The monthly price of $12.99 combined with the high shipping fees resulted in a total cost of $25 per month, for which I felt I was not receiving the desired quality or variety of yarn.
Changes in shipping prices
Surprisingly, after canceling my membership, I discovered that the shipping prices had decreased back to their normal range of $7-8, depending on the location. It seemed that the company had taken note of customer complaints and made the necessary adjustments. Encouraged by this news, I decided to give the club another try.
Joining the crochet club
Since the knit club was already full, I opted to join the crochet club instead. I was excited to embark on this new crochet adventure and eagerly awaited my first box from the club.
Unboxing the November 2019 crochet club
As I opened the box, I was greeted by a picture of a beautiful hooded pocket scarf made from two colors of yarn. The yarn included in the box was a soft acrylic yarn called Liberty Chunky, made in China. It was a size five bulky yarn with 263 yards per ball. I received two balls of the aquatic color and one ball of tan.
Reviewing the yarn and pattern
Although some unboxings I had seen featured cheaper yarn of lesser quality, I was pleasantly surprised by the softness and texture of the Liberty Chunky yarn. While it may not be a well-known brand or premium yarn, it was certainly a step up from the cheap alternatives.
The pattern included in the box was a Mary Maxim original, featuring a slip stitch pattern and big pockets. I found the pattern visually appealing and contemplated making it as a Christmas gift.
Comparison to other unboxings
Through my exploration of other unboxings, I noticed that the Mary Maxim crochet club had made a positive shift in terms of the yarn and patterns included. The diversity of projects and the effort to avoid repetition with the knit club were commendable. It was refreshing to see that they were not offering the same type of projects or identical yarn in different colorways.
Pricing and discounts
The total cost for the November crochet club box was $15.94, which included a discount coupon that I had used. The normal monthly price is $12.99, and the shipping cost was reduced to $7.44. Considering the individual prices of the yarn and pattern, the overall value seemed reasonable.
Overall evaluation and future plans
Overall, I was pleased with the contents of the November crochet club box. The decrease in shipping prices and the improved yarn quality were positive changes. While there may still be room for further improvement, I am considering continuing my subscription on a monthly basis and eagerly anticipating the upcoming December kit.
