Hello! The lovely people at KnitCrate sent me the June KnitCrate and SockCrate to review for ya'll. I can't tell you how exciting it is to get crates from KnitCrate. When I see those teal boxes in my mailbox, my heart skips a beat and I can't wait to open them and see what yarn and patterns are in them.

Now without further adieu, let's look inside the June KnitCrate and Sock Crate! Or if you would rather watch my unboxing video, here it is too!
First, I opened the June KnitCrate and I was completely blown away! The yarn is a beautiful seafoam or light teal and it is almost the same exact color as the box. I have been obsessed with this color for awhile and it has become one of my favorite colors ever! The yarn is so pretty and it is also extremely soft and luxurious. It will be wonderful and fun to work with.
This beautiful yarn is Vidalana by KnitCrate and the colorway is called Chewies.
It is a fingering weight yarn that is made from 75% superwash merino, 15% nylon and 10% cashmere and it is incredibly soft and luxurious.
Each skein has 437 yards (400 meters) and is 100 grams or 4 ounces.
All Vidalana yarns are exclusively hand dyed for KnitCrate.
The June KnitCrate was inspired by Ice Scream, the fresh neons and icy brights will have you screaming for more and they certainly do. The other colorways that you could receive in this month's KnitCrate are all beautiful and the colors definitely pop!
The patterns in the June KnitCrate are absolutely stunning and I think these colorways are perfect with them! They are definitely eye catching garments to wear this summer that will have everyone asking you where you got them.
The knit pattern, Minty Fresh, was designed by Taiga Hilliard and it is a beautiful shawl. The leaf details make this shawl elegant while the added fringe makes it fun too.
I think this is a perfect shawl for summer nights by a campfire while roasting marshmallows or lounging around on the sofa while a thunderstorm rages outside or it could even be a fun accessory while listening to music at a summer music festival.
The crochet pattern, Lemoncello, was designed by Kalurah Hudson and it is a very cute poncho. I think this is a fun top and I love the wavy design and the tassels.
This would be a great top to where to a summer barbecue or you could even throw this on over a bathing suit at the beach.
The June KnitCrate is amazing and the June Sock Crate is no less amazing. When I opened the box, I was astounded by the beautiful colors of the yarn. It is a mixture of blues, purples, violets, and some light blues as well.
This gorgeous yarn is Knitologie by KnitCrate and the colorway is called Mirrors.
It has 400 yards (366 meters) and is 100 grams or 4 ounces.
All Knitologie yarns are exclusively hand dyed for KnitCrate.
This month's Sock Crate was also inspired by Ice Scream.
The knitting pattern, Ski Slope, by Jo Torr is a cute little sock that would be perfect to wear on summer nights spent under the stars or summer mornings while reading a book.
The yarn works up so pretty with this pattern and I absolutely love it.
If you sign up before June 30th you can receive a FREE crate! So, if you purchase an Ice Scream themed KnitCrate membership, you will also get a contemporary themed KnitCrate for FREE! How wonderful is that?
I hope ya'll are having a wonderful day!
