Stranded by the Sea is a local yarn store, a source for finished yarns, spinning supplies, social knitting and spinning, and education. We believe in promoting natural fibers and wool, and avoiding synthetic, acrylic, and chemically-treated fibers, both for ecological and artisan purposes. We strive to educate consumers about preserving and protecting the waterways and marine life from synthetic fibers and their manufacture, both globally and here in the Puget Sound and Salish Sea, and about the many benefits of natural wool - doing our part to preserve the oceans. Our classes, workshops, and social activities include knitting, crochet, spinning, and felting from beginner to more advanced skills, from kids to adults. We have weekly fiber social groups, group classes, knit-along projects, and special skills classes, including fair isle techniques, double knitting, lace work, socks, and more. Check our calendar. We have our own line of custom made stitch markers, sock blockers, and mitten blockers, as well as own line of hand-dyed yarns and spinning fibers, including Angora fiber from our own “fluffle” of English Angora rabbits. We usually have at least one of our bunny mascots visiting in the shop – Feel free to stop by for a snuggle!

It's Labor Day Weekend, so we are closed and off on our sailboat for a little end of summer R&R. Anchored in one of our favorite bays near Thor the donkey and casting on a sample for our next Knit Along, the Carbeth by Kate Davies in Jamiesons of Shetland Heather Aran. I added a little Scottish thistle inspired slipped stitch colorwork to the body of my cardigan because these colors were perfect. Sweater knitting makes me happy. Love it!

Our Carbeth KAL starts Oct 15th.
Pullover, Cardigan, Carpbeth cables, Swan Dance lace, person modifications... so many options.
