What to stash this week: A mountain of love

For her installment of Knitting Our National Parks, Jensen of Sugarplum Circus chose a gorgeous image of Mount Rainier by photographer Doug Shearer of the mountain surrounded by scarlet and lilac wildflowers on a misty morning — very Valentine’s Day. Since she couldn’t decide on just one color to spotlight, she dyed up four different colors: Mountain Blush, Alpine Aster, Moody Mist and Scarlet Paintbrush. All are available to preorder individually on full skeins of Sugarplum Sock,…

What to stash this week: Wild for this yarn

I don’t normally do repeats of Knitting Our National Parks colorways, since it involves a special order and it can be tricky to get the timing right. However, Wild Tarnish, the Pacific Crest Trail-inspired colorway from Chelsea of The Enchanted Kettle, was so popular when it was released back in August that I knew after the preorder sold out in the first week that I would be doing a rerun. As is often the case with small,…

Indie Untangled 2022 Year In Review: Indie exclusives

Projects always seem more special when you use a unique colorway that has meaning behind it. I always love seeing projects made with Indie Untangled Knitting Our National Parks yarns, or the other special colorways I’ve offered in partnership with indie dyers.

Here are some projects using special Indie Untangled colorways that were finished in 2022. Some, including the Circus Tonic Handmade and Lanivendole yarn, is still in the shop,…

What to stash this week: Incredible Ibis

December’s Knitting Our National Parks colorway celebrates our feathered friends. Andrea of WoolenWomenFibers was inspired by a photo of a white-faced ibis with incredible purple, crimson, teal and gold feathers, captured by photographer Leslie Scopes Anderson at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in Utah. As the young folks say, she understood the assignment! Her appropriately named Incredible Ibis is available to preorder from Indie Untangled through Friday, December 23, to ship at the end of January….

What to stash this week: Holidays in Scotland

I’m thrilled to debut the new colors of the Harris Sling bag! This bag is a special collaboration between Indie Untangled and Adabrock Weaving Company, located on the Isle of Lewis, in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. They are handmade, right down to the leather straps, by Chrissie of Pied Beauty Studios, my talented neighbor in Brooklyn. And, keeping it in the fiber community, the yarn ball tags inside are from Katrinkles!

The new colors are: Winter Moor,…

I’m so excited to debut Circus Tonic Handmade’s line of yarn for Indie Untangled!

There is Jubilee Sock, a classic 75/25 Superwash Merino and nylon sock yarn.

In addition, I’m featuring her Soiree Fingering,…

What to stash this week: Wild horses couldn’t drag you away

If you’re both a horse person and a yarn person, you’ll love the latest collection from WoolenWomenFibers.

There are customizable horse fiber arts jewelry sets from SamsTinyTrinkets and a “feed bag” sock sack.

What to stash this week: A winter garden

While you may have already ordered your yarn Advent (or, ahem, a few…), you should consider welcoming a bit of Italy into your home this winter. Giulia and Stefania of Lanivendole have opened orders for their winter yarn box. It’s a little different from the traditional winter yarn box in that you know some of what you’re getting, but with a few special surprises. The theme is Winter Garden and the box will contain: six skeins of Lanivendole’s A Chic Blend (60% Abruzzese wool,…
