What to stash this week: Best fiber friends

Audrey of The Conifer Collective has opened preorders for her BFF Collection. This collection of 12 colorways — five variegated and seven tonals — is “a throwback to growing up with your besties and all the good memories that come along with it.” Audrey worked with two of her besties to come up with the colorway names, including Friendship Bracelet, Pillow Fort and M.A.S.H. (remember that game?!).

The colorways are available on five bases,…

What to stash this week: Sand knits

Last year, Amélie of Quebec-based Emilia & Philomene collaborated with designer Marion Mursic of Marion Em Knits on a yarn and design inspired by colorful beach shacks that line the sand in the North of France, where Marion resides. The gently speckled colorway, Tricots de Sable, which translates to sand knits, was dyed on a lovely blend of wool and linen that is ideal for working with in the heat of summer. Marion held the yarn double for her Sable Hat pattern,…

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,…

Indie Untangled 2022 Year In Review: Show FOs

One of the best parts of organizing Indie Untangled is seeing all the FOs. Each year, we host a KAL and encourage people to use yarn from the vendors at the show.

Here’s a roundup of the KAL entries that used yarn from vendors at Indie Untangled.

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….
