I just love the idea of making a "quilt" like that, have gotten a lot of great compliments, my LYS is even talking about doing our own knit along ( would have to figure this one fout, so we do not break any rules/laws. I am learning new stitches and new ideas. I just love the project. Glad I am doing it
This is my 3rd year with the Big Sky Blanket Club. I love this quilt theme. And the history and lore behind the BSBC is so appropriate for the250th anniversary of our country. The fibers and colors are amazing!!!
The 2026 Big Sky Blanket club was my first order with Stix and they really delivered!! My first installment arrived on time and the Montana based yarns are gorgeous! I started on the first square immediately (yarn arrives wound and knit-ready) the directions are clear and easy to follow (with comfortable font size -- thank you) and include helpful links to video tutorials. Stix gives you great customer service!
Very happy to receive my Big Sky package. Packaged so very thoughtfully!! The wool is lovely & I love the colors. Love the canvas tote, perfect for keeping the project in one place. I hope I can figure this out. The instructions are like Greek to me. I wish you would post a photo of how it is supposed to look. I am clueless! Hoping this will help me get better at crochet! Excited to start.
I was so excited to start my American Heirloom blanket I’m almost done with the first block of the Ohio Star. I love the natural color wool yarn I received as well as the thoughtful supplies that were provided..
Thank youI can’t say enough good things about this special project.

The yarn is gorgeous, the pattern is meditative, what more could you ask for?!
This has been one of my favorite blankets on which to work. The patterns for this blanket are simple and the choice of colors open so that it really becomes your own creation. The yarns provided are sturdy so that the blanket can be left on your favorite napping/resting place in the active part of your home, but soft enough you want to have it on top on those cool afternoons. It adds wonderful conversation on what we have learned for each design. This is a true winner.
I love everything about this project…the yarns, the colors, the history, the designs! Genius!
This is my first collection from the Big Sky Blanket Club, and it is a great experience thus far. Stix uses minimal and appropriate packaging, and I've been able to use some of the packaging (i.e., the tissue paper) for other things. The treats included are special and much appreciated. I haven't had any problems downloading and printing the patterns, and the patterns are generally quite clear. I'm learning new techniques and the videos that Stix provides for special stitches like the double stitch are very helpful and well done. Finally, this is a wonderful way to try new-to-me yarn. The wool is high quality and great to knit. I love the colors.
Color choices are okay except for the Prickly Pear which I cannot use at all. The color is very offensive to me. I have put aside the Third Box hoping a new color can be used.
Box Four is quite nice.
I am enjoying the blanket club so far but must admit I’m not thrilled about the color choices. I am just not into light colors. Maybe a choice of color palettes in the future would be nice. Historically, maybe those heirloom quits were made with pastels and light colors though.
Love the colors.
The yarn is great and your written directions and video links are wonderful. However, I would really prefer that you just emailed me the link to the patterns instead of using that ubc code thing. I am not that technologically proficient and I have trouble opening it.
The box was so beautiful! Opening it was a joy. the colors are fantastic and the honey was such a nice bonus! Please thank whoever wraps these boxes for me. They are such a treat to receive!
Life has gotten in the way of knitting lately, so I’ve only finished the firstblock.😩. I am enjoying the project. I am amazed and actually honored by all the research and work that has gone into each block.
Thank you!
this is so much fun!! I love the yarn and the adventure!
The yarn is so nice and I love the way that colorwork is used in the squares just like it would be on a real quilt
Love the yarn and the pattern! Just about done with the first square.
Really appreciate the lovely wool and project bag. The directions with embedded videos are also great. One suggestion I would make to the directions is to add page numbers. Am glad I live so far away that it takes a week to reach me because by then several typos in the directions have been corrected!
So far I’m loving it! Thank you!
Instructions on how to start could have been better. The pink stitch holder had a terrible odor. I had to throw this out.
The yarn is delicious, the instructions aclear, but I would also like to see actual pictures of the finished squares. And maybe a video to go along with the instructions as I’ve always had some difficulty visualizing what my work should look like just from reading instructions. I guess I’m a visual learner.
Such a wonderful package of presents! Each beautifully wrapped - a late Christmas package. I appreciate having the QR code on the inside lid of the notions box. I appreciate the beautiful yarns, which feel good to knit. And now I am just getting going, hoping to get my Ohio Star well in hand. The directions seem mostly clear -except it doesn't say when to change back to Color A. Only on the video. That would be helpful. Otherwise all is grand and I am getting started! Thank you for the care in building this first package, not to mention creating the whole Heirloom design - developing the design and finding the right yarns. Thank you, thank you!
Beautiful packaging - I felt like I was receiving a gift from a good friend! And the yarn- amazing. Can’t wait to use it!
As I anxiously opened my first shipment of the 2026 blanket club,I was blown away by the beautiful packaging, the curated notions, the cute project bag, and the scrumptious yarn. I can’t wait to begin!
I received my first box. The yarn is beautiful, and so fun to open. I have a good start on the project.
I just got my first box in and I can’t wait to get started! Such yummy yarn!!!
This is my first subscription project, and I love it! The quarterly boxes are an exciting surprise, and the contents do not disappoint. From Marta's Japanese-inspired cloth wrappings, to the color selections, to the little treats in each box, I have really enjoyed this yearlong project so far.
