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).

What to stash this week: Floral decadence
Although running Indie Untangled is usually a solo operation, I do have the benefit of a wide network of friends/coworkers. I met and got to know Stephanie of Asylum Fibers before she started dyeing yarn, when she organized a knitting meetup in New York City.

What to stash this week: Holiday weekend wool
I thought it was appropriate that designer Samantha Guerin released her Hearth and Haven hat pattern this week. This simple cabled beanie, and the special colorway from Katlin of Porter Wool Co, is inspired by the comforts of home in wreath form. It is sure to keep you warm this winter and is a delightful and quick knit — I cast on and completed mine during the Knit for Food Knit-a-thon earlier this year….
