Yarn Line Celebrates the National Parks

June 27, by Sarah White. 1 Comment

Knitting our national parks yarnI received word recently about an interesting project that I thought some of you might be interested in.

Knitting Our National Parks, a project at Indie Untangled, is bringing together indie dyers to create colorways inspired by photos of the national parks from the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Instagram feed, with 10 perecent of sales donated to the National Park Foundation.

A new color will launch every other month. The project kicked off with yarn dyed by Alice O’Reilly of Backyard Fiberworks inspired by a photo of North Cascades National Park in Washington State. Preorders for the first colorway run through June 30, with the next color by Pigeonroof Studios released at the beginning of August. Other dyers signed on include Jill Draper Makes Stuff, Duck Duck Wool and Canon Hand Dyes.

The yarn is a 100 percent Merino superwash sportweight yarn and runs 328 yards. It retails (this month, anyway) for $26.

It’s a beautiful project for a great cause, so check it out if you’re a nature-loving knitter!
