Caterpillar Club (Caterpillar Cross Stitch)

What's in the box: Each box has a themed cross stitch kit with all the supplies you need, plus a few extra goodies, such as the three bonus items in the current winter box.

Caterpillar Club is the subscription box from Caterpillar Cross Stitch, a UK company known for bright, modern cross stitch designs. The box arrives every two months and is aimed at beginners. The shop says no experience is needed, so it suits anyone who wants to learn a calming hobby without hunting down fabric, thread and patterns themselves. The current box is a winter theme called Snowy Peaks: a snowy landscape kit with all the supplies you need, plus three extra goodies. The bimonthly box is listed at $32.00 when viewed in US dollars, and the shop lets you switch currencies. The box product page shows a strong average rating from several hundred reviews. Beyond the subscription, the shop sells one-off kits, PDF patterns, needle minders, stitch-a-longs, crochet kits and a yearly advent calendar box. It also runs a large Facebook community, which helps if you get stuck. UK shoppers get free delivery on orders over £40, and the company ships worldwide. The designs are cheerful and seasonal, so if you prefer traditional or highly detailed samplers, this may not suit you. The site does not say much on the box page about how to skip or cancel, so check those terms before you sign up.
