🧪🧶 CESIUM YARN HAS LANDED! 🌈

Our Cesium Yarn Trunk Show starts tomorrow! Come check out an amazing selection of vibrant, joyful colorways from this wife-and-wife team of scientists turned indie dyers. 😍

Come squish, browse, and find something gorgeous for your next project!

📅 August 27 – September 6

The yarn is only visiting—so if a skein whispers “take me home”... you should probably listen. 😉

We are SO excited to share that A Skein Away will be participating in the 2026 MadTown Shop Hop

📅 Mark your calendars! October 8-11, 2026

We may be the southernmost stop on the hop, but that just means our Northern Illinois fiber friends have the perfect place to start! 😉 This is your chance to spend a weekend exploring some fantastic yarn shops, discovering new fibers, and maybe coming home with a little more yarn than you planned. (We fully support this.)

And for our friends coming down from Southern WI — we can't wait to welcome you to Roscoe!

There will be lots more to share about how the Shop Hop works, what you'll find at A Skein Away, and everything being planned for the weekend.

For now, save the dates: October 8–11! 🗓️

More details coming soon. 👀🧶

To say life has been a little crazy lately would be an understatement. I’ve been terrible about making time for the things I love, so tonight I’m especially grateful for a beautiful summer evening, my constant companion keeping me company, and finally taking the time to work on something new.

On the needles is Lento by Jonna Helin. I’m knitting it in Knitting for Olive Merino held double with Emma’s Suri Silk. On size 10 needles, I have a feeling this one’s going to fly… right? 😅

What are you working on this week? I’d love to see what’s on your needles (or hooks)!
