What to stash this week: A cozy indie-dyed Christmas

Addy of Ruby and Roses Yarn is debuting her Timeless Cozy Christmas Collection! It is available to preorder now through November 26 and features seven speckled colorways, 10 coordinating tonals, a 10g mini set and four hand-picked bundles, inspired by what Addy says is “the sheer coziness of Christmas.”

It is still fall, and Indiana-based Molly has dyed up these gorgeous Autumn in the Air mini skein sets,…

What to stash this week: Yarn support

I was shocked and saddened to read about the experience that many vendors had at Wool & Folk last week. I encourage you to go here for a full list of vendors with links compiled by Jeroen/@boymeetsyarn.

If you attended last Friday’s Indie Untangled show and didn’t snag a tote bag, or if you just want to show off illustrator Jessica McGuirl’s beautiful work, I’ve opened up preorders for the bag….

What to stash this week: A Rhinebeck tradition

Mary of Lyrical Knits — one of those friends I can’t wait to see in New York this weekend! — has a new Rhinebeck tradition of releasing a fun hat pattern in collaboration with Miss Babs. Mary’s Bubbalicious hat is knit in DK-weight yarn with a knit-below bubble stitch pattern that makes for super easy but complicated-looking colorwork. If you’ve knit Mary’s Killer Queen Cowl or pullover, you’ll recognize the stitch. Mary designed it especially for Babs’s 2023 Rhinebeck colorway,…

What to stash this week: Fall far into this yarn

Monica from Vermont-based Round Mountain Fibers is dreaming of Alaska. For her Knitting Our National Parks inspiration, she chose a fittingly fall-hued photo of the blazing fall colors at Serpentine Hot Springs in the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. The preserve is one of the most remote protected areas of the United States, with no roads. But you can still get two colorways — the variegated/speckled Bering Land Bridge and the semisolid Tundra Green.

Bering Land Bridge is available to preorder on full skeins of both Alder Fingering (80% Superwash Merino/ 20% nylon) and Willow DK (100% Superwash Merino),…

What to stash this week: Introducing the Heritage Wool Collective from Indie Untangled

I’m excited to launch the Heritage Wool Collective, a new yarn subscription that combines small-batch wool yarns with the magic of hand-dyed color.

Every other month, starting in February, you’ll receive:

• One, two or four skeins of a specially-selected non-Superwash wool or wool blend yarn, dyed by an indie dyer in a surprise color
• A pamphlet with information on the yarn base and indie dyer

What to stash this week: A local collaboration

The Conifer Collective, Megan of Huck & Rae Fiber Studio and Meadow of Spindrift Fiber Boutique — have collaborated on a special project called the Heritage Breed Box. They worked with local shepherds to source and developed a blend of Navajo Churro fiber that was spun into DK-weight yarn at a local mill. Each dyer created one warm and one cool tonal color in a coordinating palette, and they left one skein un-dyed to let its natural hue shine. …

What to stash this week: Festival season

the 37th Lambtown Festival is coming up in a couple of weeks, on October 7 and 8. It takes place in Dixon, California, which is about halfway between the Bay Area and Sacramento in the heart of wine country (or is it wool country?). A bus will travel from San Francisco and Oakland on the 8th for folks who don’t want to drive or who are flying in from out of town.

Carolyn and Michelle of Olive &…
