It's time to reveal June's yarns and patterns! Our theme for June is Homestead.
Meet the yarns and our themes in this month’s full crate reveal on YouTube.
Round the bend and over the little bridge, you’ll find a pastoral landscape ready to welcome you home with a bit of rustic flair and a lot of warmth.
Knit & Crochet Club
This month's featured yarn is URU.Yarn Asher, a blend of 34% Cotton, 36% Linen, 19% Lyocell, and 11% Nylon. You'll love the cooling feel of cotton against your skin paired with the crisp texture of linen. This sport weight yarn features a chainette construction that creates beautiful stitch definition. Each 100g skein includes 351 yards (321 meters), and your crate will come with two skeins in the color vibe of your choice.
Energize Me: Old Barn
This color brings to mind the warm glow of faded red paint or a beloved-but-rusty farm truck.
Chill Out: Cucumber
Fresh and light, just like the vegetable: this color is a pale green without blue undertones.
All Natural: Shabby Chic
Driftwood and whitewash, weathered down to perfection.
The Extra
Get ready for a day at the homestead with a warm cup of coffee! In your Knit & Crochet Club crates this month, we're including a pouch of Vanilla Coffee from Copper Cow Coffee. This all-natural, Vietnamese coffee comes in a single serving, pour-over filter that is full of flavor. Brew it in the 2 oz. Vietnamese size or continue to pour for a larger cup of coffee.

Energize Me, Chill Out, & All Natural
All three color vibes this month feature the striking "Feathers" colorway. The deepest black of raven's wings or the edge of a Bantam's plumage. A foggy, heathery night sky of nearly-black violet.
The Extra
When the late afternoon hits, kick back with a cup of Lavender Earl Grey tea from Tea with Tae. The combo of relaxing lavender with energizing black tea will bring a bit of calm your way with just enough lift to help you through the rest of your day.
