Huddle up! This month's theme and yarns are celebrating our favorite squad -- all of you!

We could think of no better yarn squad leader than Kristy Glass, and we're excited to have her as our influencer partner this month. Since 2016, Kristy has been sharing her yarn adventures with us through her YouTube channel, Kristy Glass Knits, and introducing us to members of the fiber community both far and near. She interviews dyers, designers, and makers everywhere expanding our yarn-love horizons. Kristy's exuberance for all things yarn has us inspired to get stitching and making pieces that bring us joy.

And this month, she's collaborated with us to create all the colorways in our Membership Crate!

This month, we're embracing makers everywhere with our theme, Squad Goals. Togetherness takes on new meaning for us as we gather both virtually and safely in person to create memories filled with laughter, joy, and stitches. Expect to see shades of coral, periwinkle, warm neutrals, and more that leave you energized, inspired, and knowing that you belong.

Now let’s meet this month’s yarn! Click below to watch the full reveal on Youtube.

Our December Membership yarn is Audine Wools Twinkle DK, a blend of 80% Merino Wool, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Stellina. These skeins have us starry-eyed with 250 yds per 100g skein. Your crate will arrive with 2 identical skeins to bring a little sparkle to your next project.

Energize Me: Squad Goals

A deep coral pink, this happy colorway is what we imagine joyous times with our squad looks like in yarn: bright, cheerful, a little daring, and strong knowing we can stitch anything with our favorite people by your side.

Chill Out: Knit Yorker

This soft and peaceful periwinkle is the perfect cool tone that works when layering with other colors. We're picturing wearing this as an accessory along with our hot off the hooks and needles sweaters during our favorite New York fiber festivals.

All Natural: Rollerskates

This twinkly beigey-taupe has subtle yellow tones that remind us of the haze of evening light. It is a throwback to the days when we'd cruise the roller rink with our closest pals.

Mrs. Crosby Travels Partner Crate, Quarterly Membership

Travel continues to be a bit tricky these days, but the ever-resourceful Mrs. Crosby managed to charter a private jet for a visit to Berlin. While she wasn’t able to attend all of her originally scheduled stops, she took in several architectural tours with the friendliest of guides (all properly masked with the safest of precautions, of course). They introduced her to a world of inspiration in the natural tones of stone, copper, and brick, and the evening lights that glowed upon it all. Most importantly, she returned with skeins of this quarter’s yarn!

This quarter, we are featuring Mrs. Crosby’s Wanderlust, a cozy blend of 90% Superwash Merino Wool and 10% Nylon. Each 100g skein gives you 120 yds (110m) of bulky weight yarn. Your Mrs. Crosby Travels Crate will include 3 skeins exclusively dyed in the Gemütlichkeit colorway that captures the beauty of Berlin’s architecture on a base that reflects the warmth of the friendship she made while on her excursion.
