What to stash this week: Crafting & crime

Andrea of WoolenWomenFibers has uncovered a fun way to get you on your blanket game — wrap it up in a mystery. Her true crime-themed, year-long blanket-along is open for preorder. Each month, starting in September, you’ll get 15 10g micro skeins in a mashup of variegated, tonal and speckled colorways, plus “clues” to help you solve the “crime.”

What to stash this week: The pinnacle of yarn

Mel of Big Little Yarn Co. is finally joining the lineup for the Knitting Our National Parks project. I’ve been a fan of her incredible color sense for ages, so I’m especially excited to share this one. Mel’s colorway is inspired by Pinnacles National Park in California — a dramatic landscape of rock formations, quiet caves, and ancient oaks in one of the newest additions to the park system (est. 2013).

You can preorder it on Trusty Sock (75% Superwash Merino,…

What to stash this week: Sheep to soulmates

So many of us have found our kindred spirits through the fiber world. So, I knew you’d love the love story behind Yankee Rock Farm, which is supplying the yarn for the April installment of Indie Untangled’s Heritage Wool Collective subscription — a club that pairs breed-specific yarn with the magic of hand-dyed color.

Siri and Colin grew up in New England, each with their own flock: Siri raised Finns and Border Cheviots in Vermont’s Addison County,…

What to stash this week: Life’s a beach-y Advent

Tanya of Cornbread and Honey has been dyeing yarn for a decade and she is celebrating in festive fashion. To help get us through this brutal winter, Tanya is creating four yarn Advent color palettes, all themed around Life’s a Beach. To prepare, she’s offering them well in advance of the 2025 holiday season. Each one will contain 24 20-gram mini skeins in a traditional fade — think lots of variegated and speckled colorways — plus a coordinating full skein in either fingering-weight or DK Merino/nylon yarn….

What to stash this week: Knit after reading

There’s the Holiday Cafe theme and the A Cozy Snowy Day Inside theme. Both boxes will include a paperback copy of Silent Knit, Deadly Knit by Peggy Earhart.

What to stash this week: Empire state of yarn

Megs & Co’s latest yarn is pure New York. Empire Estate is comprised of non-Superwash Rambouillet wool sourced from Elly’s Acres Farms, a family-run sheep farm in Jamesville. It’s spun across the Hudson River at Battenkill Fibers and then dyed in nine New York-inspired colorways by Megan at her studio in Fairport. The 3-ply DK-weight yarn has impeccable stitch definition, perfect for cables and colorwork.

If you’re an Outlander fan,…

What to solve this week: Shawls & sleuthing

Are you the type of person who loves curling up with a good mystery? Can you usually figure out the perpetrator of the crime in the first few chapters of a book (or minutes, if it’s a TV show)? Then you may just have an assignment in Washington State this fall!

Cheryl of Row House, who puts together the incredibly fun Camp Knit-a-way retreat I attended last year, is also organizing a knitting- and crochet-filled murder mystery weekend in Kenmore,…
