<div>About Big Up Box

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Big Up Box is a quarterly yarn subscription that uplifts underrepresented fiber artists. We champion marginalized dyers, designers, and fiber creators by giving them visibility, paid opportunities, and the recognition they deserve. Each box is a celebration of culture, creativity, and community—delivered right to your door.

<div>Our Mission

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Big up” is Jamaican Patois for giving props—acknowledging excellence and celebrating accomplishments. That’s the heart of our mission: to amplify the voices and talents of fiber artists who have historically been overlooked in the industry. This is not charity—it’s collaboration and celebration. Every artist is paid, credited, and honored for their creative work.
