Hi KnitCrate Affiliate,

Now that our June crates are out to members, we'd like to introduce you to this month's designers and patterns. There's still time to subscribe this month -- you can do it here!

Meet your May designers!

June Theme: Homestead

Below you can find more info on the June theme that inspired this group of talented designers, check out photos of the projects that they worked up for you, and check out the colorways for this month!

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.

If you would like to see the yarns and designs reviewed in video format, check out this video from our very own Community Manager, Aimée Hansen, going over the colorways and giving a great behind-the-scenes look at the inspirations behind the June crate.

Now let's meet this month’s
yarns and colorways:

KnitCrate 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 Patterns in Knit & Crochet Club for June

Knit Pattern

The Summer Nights Ponchette from Afifa Knits Designs is a light-weight, summer accessory perfect for layering over a tee or tank. 

Crochet Pattern

Evenings out by the fire just got cozier with the Bonfire Capelet from Natalie Thomas / Detroit Knots. This Tunisian crochet piece is worked flat and then seamed with just a touch of elegant lace at the edge. Wear it with the slit over the arm or at the back as shown.

Sock Knit & Crochet Club

Our featured sock yarn this month is Vidalana Ambient Sock, a mix of 80% Wool and 20% Nylon. This yarn provides the perfect base for exploring new stitches and designs and will make any project shine. Each 100g skein of fingering weight yarn comes with 400 yards (365 m), and your crate will come with one squishy skein.

Energize Me, Chill Out, & All Natural: Feathers

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 Patterns in Sock Knit & Crochet Club

Knit Pattern

Take a load off after a long day of work around the homestead with the Repose socks from Ruth Brasch. Quick to stitch, these anklets are full of cozy texture. Both relaxing to knit and wear!

Crochet Pattern

Stalks of wheat gently flowing in the wind lend inspiration to the Wheatfield socks by Rohn Strong. The simple toe-up foot grows into the open lace of the leg creating a stylish sock for the summer season.
