Spring is about to, well, spring, and we’re ready for it! The YarnYAY! March box #59 is filled with bright, happy, floral, and shell-inspired goodies knitters and crocheters, intended to bring a little brightness to your life.
This month’s box supports 5 (well, 7 if you count the printer and yarn manufacturer) small businesses, including my own. Thank you so much for supporting YarnYAY! so we can support others!
Montoya Merino Light | Vickie Howell
This month we’re so happy to bring you our very first variegated shade of Vickie’s yarn, Montoya Merino Light! Desert Jasper is a self-pooling combination of 3 of the line’s solid shades (Malachite, UtopiaFest & Boulder), mixed to create a bold, Springtime palette.

Shawlette Patterns | Designs by Vickie Howell & Afifa Sayeed
We love accessories that can crossover from one season to another. As Spring emerges, so can our lighter-weight scarves & shawlettes. This month we’re featuring playful versions.
Scallop Shawl/Shawlette (knit), designed and modeled by Afifa Sayeed
The knit scarf, by Afifa, lets the yarn do the work with a simple garter stitch body, but embellished with a knit-as-you-go cable scallop edging.
Floret Shawl/Shawlette (crochet) by Vickie Howell | Model: Kat Roberts
The crochet shawlette, by Vickie, is made boomerang style with mini-floret edging, and optional full-floret embellishments.
Row Counter | Knitter’s Pride
Even with an arsenal of tech gadgets, there’s still nothing quite as useful for keeping track of our stitching progress, as a good ol’ fashioned row counter. This one is also pretty, so, bonus!
Take note, knitters, and crocheters, you’ve got this! Use these sticky pages to help keep track of where you are in a pattern, or for anything you need a reminder for in life.
When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!
Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen. If you know someone, or ARE someone that wants to learn — while also making something wearable— check out our new hats and scarves kits in the YarnYAY! Shop!
