January 2021 Early Preview
Who’s ready to join us with a peek into 2021?
For our January crates, we’re excited to work with Margaret Olander of Sheepishly Sharing. Margaret is a maker’s maker stitching up crochet, knit, and sewing projects on her Sheepishly Sharing YouTube channel. She also shares other DIY crafts, recipes, and helpful tips through her blog keeping us informed about her adventures along the way. Margaret worked with us on the colors you’ll find in this month’s Membership Crates as well as created a fabulous crochet pattern for us!
Next month, we are exploring hazy hues in our January theme. Shadows serve to highlight reflections, and this month’s crates explore a palette of deep, slightly decayed tones, paired with warm blushes, reds, and the palest pinks and greens.
Important to remember: The option to swap your color vibe is only open between December 15-28 for the January 2021 crates.
Let’s dive into these yarns!
KnitCrate Membership
We have the softest skeins waiting for you with Audine Wools Haze, a blend of 70% Superwash Merino, 20% Kid Mohair, and 10% Silk. Each 100g skein is 120 yds (110m) of cuddly 2-ply Bulky weight yarn, and 2 matching skeins will arrive in your Membership crate.
Energize Me: Lucid
Ever wake in the middle of the night from a gentle sleep and the world is quiet and calm? Lucid, with its warm undertones in this purple, speak to that peaceful cozy feeling.
Chill Out: Dusk
They say the darkest hour is before the dawn. Our Chill Out colorway Dusk is a deep royal blue reminiscent of that darkest time of night.
All Natural: Penumbra
What would the night sky be without the shadows from the moon? Our All Natural color vibe Penumbra is a soft silvery pool of darkened moonlight.

The softness of mohair finds its way into this month’s featured sock as well! Uru.Yarn Twinkle Toes is a luxuriously soft blend of 55% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Nylon, 15% Kid Mohair, 10% Stellina. You will love the feel of every inch of the 400 yds (366m) of this yarn on your needles and hooks.
Energize Me: Lumen
Nothing brightens the sky like a clear full moon. This Energize Me colorway showcases the brighter side of night with a moon shade of taupe highlighted with green.
Chill Out: Twilight
This royal shade of night for the Chill Out color vibe speaks to the velvety side. A deep purple-blue that glints with its sparkly starlights.
All Natural: Dawn
Barbara Streisand once sang “On a clear day, you can see forever” and our Dawn colorway for the All Natural color vibe is just that. This color is a soft clear blue full of those early morning beginnings.

Mrs. Crosby Travels Partner Crate, Quarterly Membership
The ever-talented Mrs. Crosby continues to receive commissions that allow her to safely travel during this time. While she’s keeping her latest work a secret from us, she’s been gracious enough to share a bit about her latest destination for our early preview. Mrs. Crosby takes us along as she travels to Iceland and in return, brings us beautiful skeins of yarn inspired by the Aurora Borealis.
Mrs. Crosby Nóttina, with its blend of 60% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon, and 20% Stellina, has just enough sparkle for an evening under the stars. Hand dyed in the exclusive colorway Ratiljóst, each skein is 400 yds (366m) of soft and glimmering fingering weight yarn, and you’ll have 3 fabulous skeins for your next project.
