The Westknits Yarn A Long (or YAL) is an annual knit-along and yarn club hosted by Stephen & Penelope.
The 2025 YAL theme is CAMP CRAFT. Get ready to learn new techniques and embrace a knitting adventure all summer long. This year's shawls are all designed by Stephen West with our woodsy Camp Craft theme in mind.
Each Camp Craft package will contain cosy colours and camp-themed goodies inspired by summer excursions in the wilderness. Think rustic cabins, hiking throughout the woods, canoeing on the lake, campfire stories, and making new friends. Stephen will be your fearless leader, inspiring you with colour and teaching you new techniques throughout the summer.
Each month, you will receive a beautiful package of exclusive yarn from two amazing hand dyers and the debut of a brand new West Wool base created especially for the Yarn A Long! Make sure you sign up below to be in the know about all the details for this year.
Meet your fellow campers on Ravelry here.

The Yarn A Long 2024 theme was Architexture, with a focus on textured stitches and bold, architecture-inspired shapes! Our YAL pals received three distinct hand-dyed palettes in the theme of each shawl.
