What to stash this week: Journey to warmth

Carolyn and Michelle of Olive & Two Ewe Studios are ready for spring even though there’s still snow on the ground in some places (granted, they are in Florida). This includes their Many Minis of Spring set of pastel-y semisolids with their signature tone-on-tone speckles.

Last May, attendees of Maryland Sheep & Wool had the opportunity to attend an indie pop-up organized by Mary, the dyer behind 29 Bridges Studio and Valerie of Knitting Fairy Godmother….

What to stash this week to stay warm

Lanivendole’s Aestiva wool/linen yarn is pictured here in Florence Spurling’s Winslow Tee. This pattern would require 1-3 skeins of Color 1 and 1-2 skeins of the other three colors (I used Moka, Baltico, Persefone and Tabacco). There are nine currently in stock to choose from. And, if you want a little more wool for some warmth, you can see the Baltico color pairs perfectly with the Harris Sling bag in teal. …

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,…

Indie Untangled 2022 Year In Review: Indie exclusives

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….

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