YarnYAY! June Box #50

It’s time for the reveal of our June box! This month also happens to mark our 50th box. As a Molly Shannon fan, I couldn’t resist taking this as an opportunity to spoof one of my favorite of her characters, Sally O’Malley. This Box is 50! (Also, it’d be a shame to put to waste my one year as a community college theater major. 😉)

Ok, now without further, silly-ado, here’s what’s in this month’s YarnYAY! box.

Little Miss Prissy | Chicken Coop Dyeworks

This beautiful sport-weight yarn is 50% silk/50% merino, producing a beautiful draping fabric with a slight sheen. Our featured color is Prom Dress, which totally coincidentally matched Vickie’s own prom dress (pictured below with her brother)!

Chicken Coop Dyeworks is a Texas-based BIPOC woman-owned business.

Centric Table Mat by Julia Madill for YarnYAY!

Centerpiece Table Mat & Coaster Patterns | Designs by Vickie Howell & Designer in Residence, Julia Madill

This month’s projects center around table decor. We’re making center-out, circular table mats or coasters! The knit versions, designed by Julia, are worked in pie-like increase sections of stockinette and lace and finished with a loopy edging.

Centered (crochet) Table Mat by Vickie Howell for YarnYAY!

The crochet mats/coasters designed by Vickie, alternate between lace and double-crochet rounds, finished off with kitschy-cute ball fringe!

This month concludes Julia’s run as our Spring/Summer Designer in Residence. Be sure to continue to follow and support her though, on Instagram: @juliamadill
