What to stash this week: Yellowstone yarn

Kayla of Knotty Pine Fiber Co. of Wyoming, one of the three states that Yellowstone is based in, was inspired by a painting of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone for her installment of the Indie Untangled Knitting Our National Parks series. The painting by Thomas Moran, on display at the U.S Department of the Interior Museum in Washington, DC, played an instrumental part in the founding of Yellowstone as the first U.S….

What to stash this week: A heritage wool mood

Gabby of Plies & Hellhounds has revealed her mood board for the first-ever installment of the Heritage Wool Collective hand-dyed yarn subscription! The theme is appropriately earthy and has Gabby’s signature moody vibe. I cannot wait to see what she has in store for the yarn, which is a bouncy Corriedale DK from The Ross Farm, located in Pennsylvania, just a few states over from Gabby’s Connecticut studio. Sign up by the end of this month to become a member of our Founding Flock!…

What to stash this week: 2024 surprises

Dawn of Twice Sheared Sheep is opening early bird sign-ups for her 2024 Surprise Box Club, which is just that. The club delivers three themed boxes filled with tools and goodies for knitters and crocheters — eight full-sized products per box in March, June and September.

What do you get as an early bird?…

What to stash this week: Holiday weekend wool

I thought it was appropriate that designer Samantha Guerin released her Hearth and Haven hat pattern this week. This simple cabled beanie, and the special colorway from Katlin of Porter Wool Co, is inspired by the comforts of home in wreath form. It is sure to keep you warm this winter and is a delightful and quick knit — I cast on and completed mine during the Knit for Food Knit-a-thon earlier this year….

What to stash this week: Knit with us in 2024

I’m thrilled to open sign-ups today for Where We Knit 2024. This quarterly club, which will begin shipping in February, brings together four dyer/designer dream teams: Bad Lux Designs and Kacey Herlihy, Wooldreamers with 316 Dye Studio and Moody Knitter Design, AT Haynes House Yarns and Mother of Purl and Tanis Fiber Arts and Andrea Rangel.

Each pair will collaborate on an exclusive colorway or colorways on one or two skeins of yarn and an accompanying accessory design inspired by their favorite spots to whip out their WIPs….

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: A Heritage Wool preview

Last month, I officially launched the Heritage Wool Collective, an exciting new yarn subscription that brings together small-batch, non-Superwash yarns with indie dyers. The first installment, which pairs up Amy of Ross Farm in Pennsylvania and Gabby of Plies & Hellhounds in Connecticut, will go out in late February. Before the surprise colorways start shipping, you have the opportunity to try a special preview line of yarn, all grown,…

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),…
