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….

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….

What to stash this week: Fleece Navidad

If you’d like a yarny experience from Spain, Aitana Villa, who is based in Catalonia, has a 2022 Advent set available to order. Enjoy a treat each Sunday in December, with four skeins of yarn in special colorways on a variety of bases (including Merino/nylon, alpaca/Merino/cotton and mohair) and a special surprise on Christmas Day.

Here’s what to make with new self-striping and assigned pooling yarn from 29 Bridges Studio

This is the fifth in a series of blog posts featuring the fabulous sponsors of Indie Untangled, taking place on October 14, 2022 and online. Tickets are now available!

This year, 29 Bridges Studio, one of our Indie Untangled vendors, added self-striping sock skeins to their lineup of hand-dyed yarn. You can choose from repeatable color combinations as well as beautiful one-of-a-kind skeins that use leftover dye stock as part of Mary’s no-waste process….

What to stash and what to make this week

Designer Caitlin Sheperd used Murky Depths Sanctuary, a fine 100% non-Superwash Merino wool, for the Blooming Peerie Cardigan. This child-sized cardi uses a clever slipped stitch technique and only two colours per row!

Carolyn and Michelle of Olive & Two Ewe Studios have kits for Scottish knitwear designer Morven Gabriel’s A Highland Kirk Window Beanie and Cowl. The pattern was inspired by church windows in Scotland….

What to stash this week: Mini skein season

With the arrival of mini skein season, Stephanie of SpaceCadet thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce you to her Striad Wrap. Stephanie came up with the idea for this clever design while sitting in her knitting chair and noticing how her new lampshade incorporated strips of joined-up triangles to form a globe shape. The Striad Wrap is made up of a series of short row triangles, knit individually in strips and joined together with absolutely no seaming….
