The Wicked Sweet Yarn Club – Cold December

The Wicked Sweet Yarn Club – Cold December

Posted by Ross Taylor on

This month’s Wicked Sweet Yarn Club colorway is taking us straight into the stillness of deep winter — the kind of cold that feels silent, peaceful, and almost suspended in time. Cold December is built around that exact moment when the world is covered in snow, the air is sharp and clean, and you can hear nothing but the crunch of your own footsteps. It’s the kind of day where the sky turns pale and soft, the trees stand frosted and quiet, and the whole landscape looks like it’s been washed in winter light.


The Inspiration: Cold December

When I created the moodboard for December, I pulled from one of my all-time favorite places to be in the winter — the mountains of Colorado. There’s a very specific kind of beauty there when the temperature drops: the way the snow clings to every branch, how the evergreens stay bold against the white, and that stretch of icy blue lake water that almost looks like glass. Before the sun comes up, everything is tinted in the softest blush-pink light — like the sky is waking up in slow motion.

That feeling — the quiet, the chill, the softness, the stillness — is the full heartbeat behind Cold December. It’s not loud winter. It’s not holiday winter. It’s that first-breath winter morning that makes you stop, look around, and just take in how beautiful the cold can be.

The yarn hasn’t been dyed yet — the final colorway will be revealed when it lands in your hands. But the mood, the palette, and the energy are already locked in: cool tones, gentle shifts, snow-washed calm, and that soft winter sunrise glow.


The Yarn

Cold December will be dyed on two of my ride-or-die bases — the ones that show off tone shifts, softness, and color depth like nothing else:

🧶 Sweet Sock
75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon
463 yards / 100 grams • 4-ply fingering weight
Light, smooth, and bouncy — perfect for everything from everyday socks to drapey shawls, lightweight sweaters, and layering pieces. This base takes color beautifully and keeps every stitch crisp.

❄️ Wicked DK
100% Superwash Merino
250 yards / 115 grams • 4-ply DK weight
Soft, squishy, and made for winter. Great for cozy hats, big scarves, snuggly sweaters, colorwork, or anything that deserves a little warmth and texture.

Both bases hold onto nuance — so every shift of color, every cool tone, every soft wash of winter light will show up in the stitches. Whether you’re a knitter or crocheter, these bases are built for cold-weather making.


Why Join the Wicked Sweet Yarn Club

The Wicked Sweet Yarn Club isn’t just a yarn drop — it’s a color story every month. One new theme, one new moodboard, and one yarn that doesn’t exist anywhere else until it ships out.

Exclusive Colorways — Each month is a one-time colorway that won’t come back for a full year.
🎨 Moodboard-Driven Color — Every shade starts with a visual world before it ever touches yarn.
🧶 Hand-Dyed in Oklahoma — Every skein is dyed by me in small batches with care and intention.
📦 A Monthly Reveal — You don’t see the yarn until you open the package. It’s a true mystery — and that’s half the fun.


Be Part of the Magic

The Wicked Sweet Yarn Club is for yarn lovers who want color with personality, story, and feeling behind it. Every month is its own chapter — and Cold December is December’s frozen-morning moment.
