The Shell Seekers

$ 35.00


Every skein is a "Must Match" skein meaning you will receive two perfectly matched half skeins twisted together. Each half skein starts and stops in the exact same place in the color sequence!

The Shell Seekers is inspired by the book of the same name by Rosamunde Pilcher. 

The Shell Seekers has four main colors of shell pink, silver, soft green and soft blue with sand in between and overlapping each one on each edge. Very soft and delicate. 

I love to read but I don't always make the time at this point in my life. For the last few years, I have been trying to do better because there is something so satisfying about a good read and I believe that reading helps your brain to stay young and alert. A great read is a story that stays with you long after you have closed the cover. It's something that becomes a part of you. Sometimes after reading a good book, you will find yourself wondering how the characters are doing!


The Shell Seekers book is named for a fictitious painting by the same name which features prominently within the story. It's of a scene of beachcombers including Penelope as a child on the beach of Cornwall as seen by the painter, her father, from his studio window. I immediately started dreaming of a sweet and light colorway; sand intermixed with shell pink and gray, sea foam, and, of course, the sea. I overlapped each color with the next because sand always gets into everything at the beach and made every color soft like the mist of sea fog rolling in. I hope you like my interpretation and that it will inspire you to pick up a good book today.

I’m not sure I’ll ever buy yarn anywhere else

I’ve been using Must Stash self-striping sock yard to knit socks and light, slouchy hats and it’s fantastic. Soft, great colors, high quality spin - I love the way it knits up and am not sure I’ll ever buy sock yarn anywhere else

Wonderful yarn. I had it wound in two matching balls for a pair of fingerless gloves. Beautiful colors. Exactly like the photos!!
I’ve recommended Must Stash to my Knitting Guild members
