What to stash this week: Celebrating 10 years of Indie Untangled

I’m excited to debut the vendor list for the 10th annual Indie Untangled show, taking place on October 20 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at HITS on the Hudson, in the charming and welcoming town of Saugerties, NY. The dyers, yarn producers and other small businesses include several of our familiar favorites and many more new ones. Tiered entry tickets will go on sale Saturday, June 17 at 12 noon Eastern Time. You have a couple of weeks to gather your fiber friends and make your plans to join us for this anniversary celebration!…

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,…

What to stash this week: yarn gold in the hills

Susie of Fiber MacGyver transformed nature’s magic — a photo of the Artists Palette in Death Valley National Park, taken by Jon Fischer — into this stunning colorway, Painted Hills. It’s available to preorder through Indie Untangled on two bases through April 21.

Jo of Yarn Therapy has created an enchanted woodland adventure with yarn. This collection of 18 colorways, hand dyed in Yarn Therapy’s solar-powered studio in New Zealand (that is maybe visited by hobbits),…

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: 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: Wild for this yarn

I don’t normally do repeats of Knitting Our National Parks colorways, since it involves a special order and it can be tricky to get the timing right. However, Wild Tarnish, the Pacific Crest Trail-inspired colorway from Chelsea of The Enchanted Kettle, was so popular when it was released back in August that I knew after the preorder sold out in the first week that I would be doing a rerun. As is often the case with small,…

What to stash this week: Yarn tales and works of art

Kate of McMullin Yarn Co’s upcoming yarn clubs have some openings. There is the Literature Society, a quarterly luxury yarn box inspired by classic literature, that includes a Zoom book club meeting. This year’s lineup includes Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.

If you consider your indie skeins works of art,…

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. There will be a shawl pattern to tie it all together and some extra goodies.

Sara of La Cave à Laine is launching the second year of her club inspired by La Società delle Giardiniere,…

What to stash this week: Now entering fall

Blueberries can be fall themed, at least in the hands of designer Bristol Ivy and Debbie of Murky Depths Dyeworks. For last year’s Indie Untangled Where We Knit Yarn Club, the two collaborated on a colorway and two designs inspired by a field of lowbush blueberries that had turned a shade of crimson after the summer. Debbie made a carbon copy of the photo that Bristol took with her colorway called The Barrens….

What to stash this week: Campfire yarn tales

Hanna Lisa and the team at Making Stories is ready for fall and all its cosy knits with their campfire-themed Issue 8. It features 13 modern designs to keep us warm, whether we’re gathered around a fire, reuniting with fiber friends at festivals or browsing the local farmers’ market.
