yarn club 3 - Indie Untangled

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.

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.

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.

Carolyn and Michelle of Olive & Two Ewe Studios are debuting their new yarn base that fits the upcoming spooky season….

What to stash this week: Knit, purl and soul

For this year’s Indie Untangled Where We Knit Yarn Club, Crystal of Milly’s Knit Designs and Gabby of Plies & Hellhounds were inspired by a photo Gabby captured on holiday with her husband in Paris. They named the resulting colorway and cowl design Meraki (mA-’rak-E), a noun which means the soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that is put into your work. The yarn is dyed on Gabby’s Marie Cutie,…

What to stash this week: Big yarn

Stephanie of SpaceCadet knows the joy of big yarn, which is why she created her SpaceMonsters Club. Through the club, you get a big, squooshy parcel delivered to your door every other month. It contains a skein of SpaceCadet yarn in worsted or bulky weight, hand dyed in an exclusive colorway created to bring out the best in thicker yarns. You also get the SpaceCadet’s Log exploring the inspiration for each colorway and a special gift tucked into every third parcel….

What to stash this week: Crafting by the lake

For their first club installment of 2022, Giulia and Stefania of Lanivendole are creating a bundle that evokes a perfect summer day out at the lake — actually, the end of that day, “when both the water and the sky around are painted in delicate pinks that slowly turn into faded lavender greys.” The bundle includes three skeins in a surprise shade of their new Aestiva base, which is a light fingering blend of 70% Abruzzese wool and 30% unbleached French linen, …
