Want to get a gift card AND shop safe? Sure ya' do! We want to make sure you get your winter craftin' supplies in the safest way possible. That's why for the month of November we're giving away online STASH ...

We reeeaaallly hate to be the store that starts talking about the Holidays the minute Halloween ends, but this year is a little different. We want to make sure you get everything you need, when you need it! 

It's that time again - the STASH wishlist contest is back! Woop woop! If you're a new STASHy peep, the wishlist is an annual tradition around here. Normally, we'd set you up with a pen and paper and let you run around the store like you're registering for a wedding - but this year we're doing things a little differently.  With COVID-19 numbers rising, we want to make sure that your holiday wish-listin' can be done safely from the coziness of your couch! 

It's that time again peeps - Socktober is in full swing around here. We're celebrating all things socks with a sock yarn sale! From Friday October 9 to Monday October 12 all sock yarn is 20% off! No code needed - just add them to your cart and the discount will be automatically applied at checkout. The sale also runs in store Friday - Sunday. 

Happy freakin’ birthday to Brooklyn Tweed! For TEN years BT has been rocking the fire world with high-quality yarns, timeless patterns, and jaw-dropping colourways all while setting the standard for running a company with a truly ethical and respectful mindset. They deserve a heartfelt round of applause for all of the work that they have done to repopularize knitting for the 21st century! 

At STASH, we are HUGE fans of a good workhorse yarn. What the heck is a workhorse yarn, you ask? A workhorse yarn is a high quality, durable, woolly wool with an awesome price point. We thought we'd share some of our current  favourites! 

Are your morning walks a little chillier than they were a week ago? Have you substituted your summer flats for sneakers?  Are your nostrils assaulted by the sweet smell of pumpkin spice every time you step into a cafe?  If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, brace yourself - because it's fall, ya'll!  Whether you're a pro knitter or an adventurous beginner, you deserve a sweet sweater this season! We've compiled a list of free and paid patterns that are beginner friendly, classic, and size inclusive! 

A charming seed stitch hat with a six point star on the crown, designed to show off the supreme squish factor of indie dyed bulky yarn! We’ve made this hat in both Lily & Pine Oak Bulky and Ancient Arts Big Squeeze and we can attest that they are both exceptionally awesome.

It is the 30th year of Pride celebrations in Calgary, and STASH is celebrating with a fiber-rific wall hanging kit that is inspired by the traditional rainbow flag! At STASH we too believe in resiliency, community, & love - and as allies of the LGBTQA2S+ community we want to show our support by donating 100% of the profits from kit sales to the Calgary Queer Arts Society. 

Summer in Calgary is magical, moody, brilliant, intense, and fun! What better way to celebrate the upcoming summer season in Calgary than with a revisit of our unique shawl pattern in gorgeous indie colours?  This shawl is a fun and relaxing knit - it has a simple, memorable pattern and the colour changes are in just the right places to keep your interest. It makes a great palette-cleanser!

Even though we're ready to reopen, we will continue offering curbside pickup well, forever. It's still the safest option, and darn it if it isn't just the most convenient too!

I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you for being so awesome during these strange times. Every order that we receive from you is like a high five - it brightens our spirits and helps to ensure that STASH will get through this!  More importantly, we hope that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy right now.
