What to stash this week: Baah-loween

Halloween event 2020.

You can now preorder the 2025 Halloweenvent from Katrinkles. Katy and her Rhode Island-based team are conjuring up a 31-day countdown calendar filled with Halloween-themed fiber tools and notions. Think spooky stitch markers and delightfully creepy trinkets. Last year’s treats were a scream (you can peek at them here), but this year’s surprises are all new.

Preorder by July 31 — or risk the horror of a sold-out box.

What to stash this week: Your yarn-y alibi

A murder mystery knitting weekend illustration for the Denver event.

Cheryl of Row House Yarn, who organizes the wonderful Camp Knitaway retreat I attended a couple of years ago — where I got to knit on a peaceful lakeside deck and stand-up paddle board — is also behind a series of Murder Mystery Weekends. This year’s takes place in Denver from November 14-16 and features special guest designer Cecelia Campochiaro.

The “skein of the crime” is the Halcyon Hotel in Cherry Creek….

What to stash this week: Hygge awaits

Interior of a store with yarn on a wall on shelves.

From December 4–9, Marny and Lynn of Explore Knitting Tours are heading to Copenhagen, Denmark. You’ll visit charming yarn shops and festive Christmas markets, cruise the canal in a heated boat and wander the colorful streets of Nyhavn. Marny, a designer and instructor, will guide you in creating winter accessories inspired by your trip. Non-knitters are also welcome to get cozy.

Michelle has introduced two vivid coordinating colorways: Resurrection and Paid in Full are available on a variety of bases. …

What to stash this week: A souvenir from Ireland

A collage of three photos depicting the Irish landscape and wool production. The largest image on the left shows a dramatic view of the Cliffs of Moher, with steep rocky cliffs rising from the ocean under a partly cloudy sky. The top right image features a man and a young girl standing in a green field surrounded by sheep The bottom right image shows several undyed skeins of yarn on a wooden surface, with tufts of raw wool and a spool of matching yarn.

As the plans for Indie Untangled’s upcoming spring tour of Ireland started coming together, I knew I needed to source a special souvenir of our trip — and share it with you. 

Even if you’re not joining us, you can experience the magic of Ireland by signing up for Indie Untangled’s Heritage Wool Collective yarn subscription, which pairs together small yarn producers and indie dyers. The next installment,…

What to stash this week: Sheep to soulmates

A pastoral scene featuring a close-up of a curious sheep with a white face, black markings and ear tags in the foreground. Behind it, another white sheep stands in a grassy field, looking towards the camera. In the background, two light-skinned people — a woman wearing a gray sweater and a man in a red plaid shirt — stand in the field, smiling and looking off to the side. More sheep are grazing in the distance, under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

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,…
