Storied Yarns - A Yarn Quest Knitting RPG

Created by Tania C Richter

Yarn Quest needs you! Grab your knitting needles and join your fellow Yarn Questers in the quest to save Yarnia! What is Yarn Quest? Yarn Quest is one part knitting pattern, one part Role-Playing Game, and one part Choose Your Own Adventure. Each quest is a knitting pattern, and as the player leads their character through the quest they come across enemies to battle, choices to make, and items that all influence the patterns knitted on the project. That's what makes Yarn Quest so special - almost every project is unique. Storied Yarns is an introduction to Yarn Questing for those who have never played an RPG, and provides new patterns and play styles for those who have partaken in previous campaigns. The book will be a full color hardcover including tutorials, lore, patterns, and lots of artwork. There will be tutorials for how to play, along with tutorials for how to use the double knitting technique. Don't like double knitting? Can't knit, but like to crochet? There are plenty of methods to join in the fun! Questers have done previous projects in colorwork knitting and Tunisian crochet. There's no limit to what you can do!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Let the 3rd Stretch Goal Shine!
over 6 years ago – Sun, May 27, 2018 at 09:48:47 PM

Good morning, Backers!

I'm delighted to announce that we just hit the 3rd Stretch Goal! There will now be foil imprints added to the hardcover book run over the text and the Yarn Dragon logo. 

In addition to hitting the 3rd Stretch Goal we have also hit the 3rd Secret Stretch Goal at 500 backers! All backers of physical books will receive an 8" x 10" print of the Yarnia World Map, and additional prints may be added for $10.

The next Stretch Goal is one that I know will make you howl with excitement. At $35k we'll be releasing the hounds, adding Canine Companions to the book! This will also unlock 3 new classes and a Canine Companion specific quest!

Thank you all again for supporting this project! We're down to the last 4 days, let's make this epic :D

New tiers!
over 6 years ago – Thu, May 24, 2018 at 12:05:03 AM

Good evening, Backers!

I've gone ahead and opened up a few new tiers that incorporate the dice into the mix. The first is a $6 level for 6 D6 dice, the second is a $21 level for a digital copy of Welcome to Yarnia and a set of 6 D6 dice, and the third is a $41 level that includes both the digital and physical versions of Welcome to Yarnia along with a set of 6 D6 dice. 
You may also add on extra dice at a rate of 1 D6 for $1.50 or 6 D6 for $6 to any pledge.

I have also opened up an additional 10 slots for signed and remarqued (sketched) books, an additional 2 Dragon Companion levels, and there's one more Wandering Feline Companion open for those of you interested!

I've gotten this question a few times so I figured I'd clarify for everyone - for anyone who is receiving a digital copy of the book you will receive both a PDF download and a Ravelry coupon code so that it will be saved in your Ravelry Library! So fear not, Ravelers, we've got you covered ;)

Secret Stretch Goal #2 Rolled!
over 6 years ago – Wed, May 23, 2018 at 10:11:43 PM

Guess what, folks? 

We've hit Secret Stretch Goal #2! And now, for the reveal....

We're getting dice! Specifically, we're getting custom D6 dice from Chessex with the Yarn Dragon emblem on them! Everyone who backs at a physical reward level will receive one of these and additional dice will be available for sale for $1.50 each!

Stretch Goal #2 Unlocked!
over 6 years ago – Tue, May 22, 2018 at 08:55:54 PM

Good morning, Backers!

We've officially crossed the $25k threshold, so there will be a large DK weight scarf pattern adventure added to the book! The next Stretch Goal is at $30k and will bring a silver foil imprint to all the physical books! This will foil imprint will be laid over the text and the Yarn Dragon logo.

I have switched around the stretch goals a bit so that the $35k stretch goal now includes a steadfast companion that barks. That's right, if we hit the fourth stretch goal Canine Companions and 3 additional classes! If we hit $35k there will also be a special pattern added in just for Canine Companion classes.

Thanks again for your support, and we're just 2 backers away from the second secret stretch goal so I'll probably be dropping a line soon ;)

Upcoming stretch goals
over 6 years ago – Tue, May 22, 2018 at 08:30:30 AM

Good evening, Backers!

We're a little over 10 days out from the end of our campaign, and it feels like time has flown by! The second stretch goal of a large DK-weight scarf pattern is within reach, so I wanted to reveal what the third stretch goal is. If we can manage to hit $30k all books will be upgraded to have receive foil imprint on the covers! I'm also working on another upgrade to the cover that I'll reveal later this week.

In addition to our second stretch goal, we're also six backers away from our second secret stretch goal, which may have something to do with an object that is six sided. 

Again, thank you all for all of the support that you have shown for Yarn Quest!
