KnitCrate Review and Coupon Code!


Hello! Have you ever gotten yarn in the mail? Beautiful, soft, luxurious yarn? Receiving yarn in the mail can be very exciting and tons of fun! I love when I get that notification that says, your package has been delivered, and then I go to the mail box, open it and find a wonderful teal package that is just waiting to be opened and enjoyed. I know every month that whatever KnitCrate sends me, I will love.

The lovely people at KnitCrate contacted me last month and asked if I would like to review some of their crates. So far they have sent me the March KnitCrate, April KnitCrate and they have also sent the April SockCrate which I will have a review on next week.

The March KnitCrate was the first KnitCrate that they sent me and I had a lot of fun unboxing it for ya'll. Check out my video below to see me unbox the March KnitCrate or scroll down.


The March KnitCrate was inspired by Sugar Sugar and came with 2 skeins of URU. YARN by KnitCrate and it is so beautiful, soft and squishy. There were a couple of different colorways that you could have received for March, but I got the colorway called Periwinkle and it's so pretty. It is a lavendar purple with wine and red speckles throughout it and there are also silver sparkles!



The patterns it came with were for a gorgeous knitted shawl and pretty crochet socks. I chose to crochet the socks and since they were my first crochet socks I was so excited to get started on them. They are working up beautifully with the KnitCrate yarn and I love the cables. I only have the heel left on my first sock and then it's on to the second sock, I can't wait to get these done!

The April KnitCrate was just as exciting to open as the March KnitCrate and I love the yarn and patterns it came with. 



The 2 skeins of yarn that the April KnitCrate came with is Audine Wools by KnitCrate and the colorway that I received is called Red Rock. It is gorgeous and full of deep scarlet reds, brighter reds and some orange reds and it is so soft and squishy. 




The April KnitCrate was inspired by the golden hour and all of the amazing colors that you see right as the sun is setting. There are 4 colorways that you could receive.



The patterns that it came with are for a lovely knitted shawl and a pretty crochet cowl. I have not started on either of these yet, but if you would like to follow me on Instagram and/or Facebook, I will have updates soon. 


In my opinion, KnitCrate is a wonderful yarn company that sends out gorgeous, soft yarn every month and I think it is so exciting and fun to get a surprise in the mail! If you want to try KnitCrate, you can get 20% off your first order if you use the code: WITHALEX20 at checkout!

I hope ya'll are having a wonderful day! 

Until next time, bye!
