Teresa of Sunny Day Fiber has transitioned to spring, with her April showers leading to May yarn flowers. She has featured in her shop a pastel mini skein set with aqua, pink, lilac, peach, ice blue and mint, which she already put to work in Brie Christine’s Quartet Socks pattern, as seen on Ravelry.

Anastasia of Cashmere & Coconuts has stocked her shop with a number of new items,…

What to stash this week: Best fiber friends

Audrey of The Conifer Collective has opened preorders for her BFF Collection. This collection of 12 colorways — five variegated and seven tonals — is “a throwback to growing up with your besties and all the good memories that come along with it.” Audrey worked with two of her besties to come up with the colorway names, including Friendship Bracelet, Pillow Fort and M.A.S.H. (remember that game?!).

The colorways are available on five bases,…

What to stash this week: Wool from Down Under

I recently added yarns from Australia’s Great Ocean Road Woolen Mill, a sustainable, boutique operation, to the site. La Bella fingering is an 80/20 blend of Superfine Merino and natural white alpaca that is incredibly soft, with not a trace of prickle factor. You can use it to knit Isabel Kraemer’s topolino, Yamagara’s Nichi Nichi or Noriko Ichikawa’s Azami Shawl. This blend is also available on a DK weight and is the perfect yarn for a cable or lace sweater or shawl….

What to stash this week: Wild horses couldn’t drag you away

If you’re both a horse person and a yarn person, you’ll love the latest collection from WoolenWomenFibers. Woolen, Wild & Free is inspired by the beauty, freedom and ruggedness of horseback riding trails and wild horses. The yarn comes in deep, autumn-appropriate wood tones, with hints of leather.

What to stash this week: Knit, purl and soul

For this year’s Indie Untangled Where We Knit Yarn Club, Crystal of Milly’s Knit Designs and Gabby of Plies & Hellhounds were inspired by a photo Gabby captured on holiday with her husband in Paris. They named the resulting colorway and cowl design Meraki (mA-’rak-E), a noun which means the soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that is put into your work. The yarn is dyed on Gabby’s Marie Cutie,…

What to stash this week: Mini skein season

With the arrival of mini skein season, Stephanie of SpaceCadet thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce you to her Striad Wrap. Stephanie came up with the idea for this clever design while sitting in her knitting chair and noticing how her new lampshade incorporated strips of joined-up triangles to form a globe shape. The Striad Wrap is made up of a series of short row triangles, knit individually in strips and joined together with absolutely no seaming….
