July Bookish Colorway: My Brutes

This listing is for the July installment of our 2026 Bookish Club! The book we chose this month is Ensnared by Rebecca Quinn, the first in the Brutes of Bristlebrook trilogy. Obviously we all love a little post-apocalyptic army-men spicy harem in our literature but this series takes the cake for me - the characters are nuanced, and the relationships they build with each other throughout the series are beautiful and complex. Not only that, but I genuinely enjoyed the plot of this series once it got rolling (because there's way more to this book than the spice)! And the spice - the spice - it's a riot. V well written. No notes.

This colorway was inspired by the browns and greens in an army camo palette, leaning more heavily green as the colors stack together. It dyes up very differently across the bases (yak dyes darker, and the NSW shows the most contrast between the layers), but it may be our favorite club color yet!

If you have a subscription, you should be all set! This listing is for individual skeins, NOT for the year-long subscription (so it will not auto-renew), and this colorway will be open through July 5th around 7pm EST! Your yarn will be dyed immediately, and shipped by July 15th.

Our 2026 Bookish Club as a whole will include twelve brand new variegated colorways inspired by some of our favorite (spicy 🌶️) reads! While some of the books we've chosen to showcase have quickly gained a lot of popularity in bookish communities, we also selected some of our favorite books that were self-published by indie authors. There is a lot of talent out there bringing a wide range of characters and stories to life, and we want to do our part to show support to indie authors, while maybe introducing you to a few. Please pay attention to trigger warnings for the books that inspired the colorways in this club, and check out the authors' websites for more specific info.

Note: Unlike our last club, this club will not be a fade. The colorways will coordinate to work as part of a cohesive collection, but we would rather put energy into creating colorways we love, inspired by books and authors we love, than limit ourselves to fade the colorways from month-to-month.
