What to stash this week: Indie-ana Dunes
Back in 2022, my husband and adventure buddy Mitch and I embarked on an epic cross-country road trip. One of our first stops was Indiana Dunes National Park. This is one of the country’s newest national parks — it had been a “national lakeshore” since 1966 and then was re-designated as the 61st U.S. national park in 2019. We visited on a day when temperatures climbed into the 90s, but still enjoyed a challenging hike through the dunes,…

What to stash this week: Wool from Down Under
I recently added yarns from Australia’s Great Ocean Road Woolen Mill, a sustainable, boutique operation, to the site. La Bella fingering is an 80/20 blend of Superfine Merino and natural white alpaca that is incredibly soft, with not a trace of prickle factor. You can use it to knit Isabel Kraemer’s topolino, Yamagara’s Nichi Nichi or Noriko Ichikawa’s Azami Shawl. This blend is also available on a DK weight and is the perfect yarn for a cable or lace sweater or shawl….

What to stash this week: Shop indie and save
New sales will be added through the weekend.
Every November, I think about what I want to do for the big holiday shopping kickoff weekend for Indie Untangled. Since I’m such a small business (my “stock room” is maybe about as big as a booth at a yarn festival!), I don’t provide discounts that often. But as a small business, I’m thankful for being part of such a supportive and enthusiastic community,…
