What to stash this week: Yarn joy

I first started working with Terri of AT Haynes House Yarns in 2020, when we were in the throes of the pandemic and connecting through virtual shows. Terri and her husband Brian brought much-needed joy during those those marathon Zooms. When we started gathering in person again, the AT Haynes House booth was always a party, filled with dancing, laughter, infectious smiles and, of course, gorgeous hand-dyed yarn.

Terri is once again providing some joy with this month’s Indie Untangled anniversary colorway….

What to stash this week: A woolly flame

Earlier this year, I had an incredible opportunity to collaborate with Clara Parkes, the New York Times-bestselling author (Knitlandia, Vanishing Fleece) and self-proclaimed “yarn whisperer” and “wool ambassador.” Robin of Birch Hollow Fibers and I met up with Clara in the Berkshires where she unloaded hundreds of skeins from a rented van.

The result of this collaboration debuted this month through the bi-monthly Heritage Wool Collective Hand-dyed Yarn subscription….

What to stash this week: Indie-ana Dunes

Back in 2022, my husband and adventure buddy Mitch and I embarked on an epic cross-country road trip. One of our first stops was Indiana Dunes National Park. This is one of the country’s newest national parks — it had been a “national lakeshore” since 1966 and then was re-designated as the 61st U.S. national park in 2019. We visited on a day when temperatures climbed into the 90s, but still enjoyed a challenging hike through the dunes,…
