Clarification of February 2021 Crates

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback about the change to our February 2021 Membership Crates. We’ve put together this additional post to help clarify our featured yarns for February 2021. 

Due to Covid-19 delays with our mills, we have had to change our plan for our Membership Crate yarn shipments. Here are the yarns you can expect with each of our subscriptions for February.

February KnitCrate Membership

In February, members will receive yarn that aligns with our Unwind theme. Sink into cozy comfort with your favorite cup to unwind with this month's selections. Plush pillows and oversized loungewear let our minds and bodies relax into spring.

Important: The option to swap your color vibe has been extended to between January 21-31 for the Unwind crate theme. You will be able to choose your vibe for the February Crates from February 15-28 and those will ship during the month of March.

February KnitCrate Membership Yarns

Unwind with a serene fiber experience with Audine Wools Calm, a DK weight blend of 80% Wool, 10% Silk, and 10% Mohair. This wooly and heathered yarn is 231 yards per skein that will give your projects great stitch definition and structure while having some dreamy drape. Each crate will arrive with two identical skeins to create your next project.

This month, for the first time ever, we have multiple colorways for each color vibe. For the vibe you choose, you will receive two identical skeins of one of the vibe’s featured colorways. All colorways will be available for individual sale during our Double Down sale. If you order multiple crates and would like them to be the same colorway, please email us using the HELP button at the top of our website. While we cannot guaranteed that matching colorways will be sent with multiple crates, we will make every effort to do so.

Energize Me Colorways

Members choosing this vibe will receive 2 matching skeins in one of these three colorways.

Matcha: A taste of something new is waiting to be experienced in this warm shade of green, just like the shades you'll find in loose leaf green tea.

Tranquility: Dreaming of peaceful spring days? This colorway bridges the shadowed greens of winter with the promise of brighter greens in spring with subtle blue tones and a little touch of golden sun that lets us know warmer days are ahead.

Sun Salutation: The rising sun meets mustard tones in this bright yellow that is a day (and project) starter.

Chill Out Colorways

Members choosing this vibe will receive 2 matching skeins in one of these three colorways.

Epiphany: This heather navy does nothing but inspire in the darkest of blue tones in this month's vibe.

Exhale: If we could put the feeling you have when you slip on the perfect pair of denim jeans, it would be this colorway. Not too dark, not too washed out, this medium blue will have you breathing easy.

Reflection: Thinking about the reflections of a clear blue lake, you may pick up hints of sunlight and foliage as you do in this gentle teal shade.

All Natural Colorways

Members choosing this vibe will receive 2 matching skeins in one of these two colorways.

Membership Patterns

During the Early Preview, we will show you close up swatches of the patterns featured in this crate, without revealing the entire piece quite yet. This way you can see how the yarn works up before choosing your Crate!

February Sock Membership 

In February, members will receive yarn that aligns with our Heart Strings theme. No changes are being made to the yarn included in this crate. Let’s welcome the season that tugs at our heart strings with the craft medium that does the same: yarn! Fall in love with soft, luxurious yarns in our bouquet of romance-inspired colors and projects for the month.

February Sock Crate Membership Yarn

This month, we’re capturing your heart with Vidalana Glam Sock, a sweet blend of 70% Superwash Merino, 10% Silk, 10% Stellina, and 10% Nylon. This soft and silky yarn has 400 yds per skein and will have you lost in thought as you dream about making socks.

Energize Me: Pure Bliss

Bright and shiny, all the way down to your tippy toes. Get inspired by the glow of this mellow yellow.

Chill Out: Passion

This Amethyst hue has us thinking of that feeling when infatuation deepens to passion, which happens to be what we feel when we fall head over heels for our newly acquired yarn.

All Natural: Betrothed

Just as a gentle rosiness that rises to one’s cheeks, this colorway has a faint blush to its natural tone.

Malabrigo Partner Crate, Quarterly Membership

Our Malabrigo Partner Crate also follows the Heart Strings theme. We are smitten with this quarter’s Malabrigo Partner Crate selection: Rasta! This single ply super bulky yarn works up quickly and wraps you in its warm embrace. Each 100% Superwash Merino skein dyed in our exclusive Heart Strings colorway gives you 90 yds to love, and each partner crate comes packed with 2 skeins.

October 2018 Sock Membership Reveal

Are you ready for it? We know you are! This month’s Sock Membership Crate is a stunning, cool take on the theme, and we are so excited to share with you. Dyed on Delight Sock from our Vidalana line, this yarn is an 80% Superwash Merino Wool with 20% Nylon that you’ll swear has some cashmere in it (yes, it’s that soft)! Each squishy skein is 402 yards and you’ll get one skein of one of these colorways: 

The purple is called Smudge, and the pale blue is called Morning. These soft, sweet colors pair beautifully with this month’s stunning sock design by Kate Atherley, Twisted Argyle: 

I mean, how cool are those socks?! Kate wanted to create an easily accessible argyle pattern (without the tricky intarsia), and we think she’s done a great job. You can read more about her inspiration behind the pattern and more about Kate in general in the pages of this month’s Knitcrate INSPIRATIONS, the new magazine we’re including with every shipment. 

If you haven’t signed up for the Sock Membership Crate yet, now is the time! We can’t wait to make these squishy socks with you in the dedicated Ravelry group thread, so join us there, too.
