Coming up next week, we have a few spots left in our Socks 101 intensive with Kate Atherley.

Three hours will get you all set to have snuggly feet for you and all your loved ones this winter.

Learn how to make top-down socks with the sock guru herself. Starting with a mini “training sock”, we teach you everything you need to know to knit socks – from working in the round to turning the heel to shaping the toe. Once you’ve mastered the mini, we get you started on your first full-size sock. Along the way, we share lots of tips and techniques, including easy ways to join the round – without twisting! — handling the gusset pickup, and a beginner-friendly no-graft toe.

If you have never made socks before, this is the class for you. Kate also provides patterns that permit use of both DPNs, magic loop or two circulars.

Tuesday, October 20th
6 to 9pm
$110 per person

Have you had a chance to visit Waxwing Cèdre in the shop yet?

This is a 100 Canadian wool, handdyed by Waxwing in either 100 gram skeins or 25 gram skeins, making the yarn perfect for colourwork projects.

Use it on it's own for fi*****ng weight gauge, or double it up for a worsted/aran gauge. We'd love to see a marled project with this yarn.

We are very very excited to be working with Waxwing. Stay tuned to see photos of our first project: a pair of colourwork mittens.

Happy almost long weekend everyone!

Today Yarns Untangled turns ELEVEN years old!

Celebrating eleven years in business is a bit of a funny one. Last year we made a big fuss about ten because, well TEN! But this year it feels more like "ok great, yes, eleven is very nice, but let's keep going though because winter is coming and yarn along with it!"

So today just a small note to say thank you ever so to each and every one of you who has showed up for us in whatever way they could. It's an honour (truly it is) to bring you beautiful things and to support you along your crafting journeys.

Here's to eleven! Work a few rows for us tonight :)

🚨🧶New yarn alert! 🧶🚨

New to us from , this is Nomade BFL, a fi*****ng weight blend of Bluefaced Leicester and nylon that is perfect for garments, accessories and socks alike.

If you aren't familiar with BFL, it's a very special breed of British sheep originating in the northeast of English. The wool makes a springy, luxurious yarn that adds some natural depth to the colour of the dye.

It makes a very beautiful, very strong sock yarn especially with the added nylon, but we're eyeing this one up for some winter sweaters. While it is superwash, the gentle grippy-ness of the BFL makes this a strong option for colourwork as well.

Check it out on our online shop:

This evening's teaser is Mokosh from Hey Mama Wolf
Mokosh is a real staff favourite, it seems to tick everyone's boxes at YU. It's a 21-micron count (real soft, y'all) GOTS-certified organic merino from a breed local to the south of France. The crimp of the fleece traps a lot of air giving tons of warmth, while the fluffy and soft nature of the wool means this is the softest merino on the market.

It's usual retail price is $34 per skein but starting tomorrow it will be 30% off!
