The Yielding Yarn: A Cozy Mystery of Spinning Stories and Deadly Designs

🧶 Yarn shop owner and master knitter Stella Stitchwell is hosting the annual Fiber Arts Festival in her cozy shop, "The Yielding Yarn," when a renowned textile designer is found strangled with a rare, hand-spun wool yarn. The murder weapon comes from Stella's own exclusive inventory, making her the prime suspect. To clear her name, Stella must unravel the tangled relationships within her tight-knit crafting community. With help from her weekly knitting circle and a handsome local sheep farmer, Stella follows a trail of fiber clues-from dye lot discrepancies to distinctive spinning techniques that point to specific artisans. Each knitted pattern, woven design, and spun yarn holds coded messages about jealousy, stolen designs, and decades-old creative rivalries. But as Stella stitches together the evidence, she discovers the killer is someone she's trusted with her patterns and her friendship-and they're weaving a final, fatal design with Stella at the center.
