What to stash this week: Big yarn

Stephanie of SpaceCadet knows the joy of big yarn, which is why she created her SpaceMonsters Club. Through the club, you get a big, squooshy parcel delivered to your door every other month. It contains a skein of SpaceCadet yarn in worsted or bulky weight, hand dyed in an exclusive colorway created to bring out the best in thicker yarns. You also get the SpaceCadet’s Log exploring the inspiration for each colorway and a special gift tucked into every third parcel.

The club is opening to new members next week and, if you get on the SpaceCadet mailing list now, you’ll get early access to grab your spot! Like the SpaceMonster parcels, Stephanie’s newsletter is stuffed full of fibery goodness, including craft world news and pattern suggestions.

What to stash this week: Mini skein season

By |

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. It was designed for SpaceCadet gradient mini skeins, but would also look great in blocks of color.

The Striad Wrap is 50% off for a limited time when you join Stephanie’s email list.
