Sneak peek time already?! Get ready to see what’s on deck for August!
We are thrilled to have Our Maker Life as our influencer partner for our August crates! The OML community is filled with brilliant knitters, crocheters, yarn dyers, designers, makers of all kinds and more who bring their passion to the world by creating handmade pieces. From blog posts to designs and podcasts to events, OML is an endless source of inspiration!
The theme for August is Vividarium, a collection full of strong, bright, and vibrant color; a dive into exotic blooms and intense shades.
During our Early Preview, we only show you the yarn that is coming in the next crate, and not the full patterns or extras, so that you can make decisions about changing your color vibe or adding a crate for the new month! If you need help changing your vibe, you can watch the video below for more details or contact us by clicking here.
Remember: The option to swap your color vibe is only open between July 15-28 for these crates.
Let’s dive into these yarns!
KnitCrate Membership
For August, our featured Membership yarn is our Vidalana Linen Jewel: 50% Superwash Merino Wool, 30% Linen, and 20% Silk. This yarn is fingering weight and 400 yards (366m) per 100g skein. Light and elegant, you will treasure this yarn blend!
Energize Me: Midsummer Rose
This deep magenta shade has us thinking of the saturated colors of flowers in full bloom.
Chill Out: Oasis
The crispness of this colorway has pale green and blue tones often found as leaves unfold in your favorite foliage.
All Natural: Sandstones
This shade has us thinking of the blush hues found on sandstones, especially in the glow of the sun.
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!

Sock Crate Membership
For August, our featured Sock Crate Membership yarn is Knitologie Super Sock, a 75/25 blend of Superwash Merino Wool and Nylon. You’ll have 400 yards (366m) of fingering weight in your 100g skein to create your next pair of socks.
Energize Me: Succulent
Green succulent petals are the inspiration behind this cheerful colorway with yellow undertones for a little extra glow.
Chill Out: Gibbous Moon
This periwinkle shade reminds us of how we sometimes get a glimpse of the moon during the day. A little nighttime gray meets the bright blue of the daytime sky to create pure magic.
All Natural: Tuscan Sun
Feel the toasty rays of a warm Tuscan Sun with this muted mustard yellow with sunflower undertones.

Malabrigo Partner Crate, Quarterly Membership
With this quarter’s Malabrigo Partner Crate, we are swooning over the textures of two different yarn bases: Mechita with its single ply fluffiness, and Mora with its smoothness and radiant glow. Both are fingering weight yarns, and, in this crate, you’ll receive a skein of each! Mechita is a 100% Superwash Merino yarn (420 yards (384m) / 100g skein) while Mora is 100% Silk (225 yards (206m) / 50g skein).
