It has been a pleasure to explore my stored sock yarn this week following on from a conversation started by Jo Milmine of the Shinybees podcast. If you haven't heard her podcast do check it out for fab knitting rants, comedy banter and great enabling.

In recent weeks she has been talking about her project for 2017 of Active Stash Exploration. All about the stories our Yarm could tell if only it could speak. Stories of adventure, exploration and creativity.

Inspired by this I delved deep into my sock yarn drawer and found this fabulous skein - bought when I had just embarked on my love affair with self striping yarn. Sadly the dyer, Eaden Yarns is no longer dyeing but this great skein - appropriately named Retro - is now out of my drawer and on my needles.

If you would like to check out the #activestashexploration project just use the hashtag on social media and enjoy some fabu loud yarn tales.
