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!

Good afternoon, Backers!

I wanted to let everyone know that I've opened up a few new reward tiers including the $71 tier for Signed Hardcover and Project Bag, the $81 tier for a Digital copy of the Welcome to Yarnia, Mug, and project Bag, and the $101 tier for a Signed Hardcover, Mug, and Bag.

There is also a new tier based off of the Four Ply that includes the Feline Feature (artwork of your Feline Companion in the book) and a signed and sketched book. This is the $190 tier and it is limited to 15 people.

Have a great week!

almost 6 years ago – Sat, May 12, 2018 at 04:15:46 PM

Good evening, Backers!

We've hit the first Secret Stretch Goal of $22,222!

All backers of physical rewards will receive a Knit 1 Roll 20 sticker~

 Just like the Yarn Dragon sticker, this will be a high quality vinyl sticker approximately 3" x 2.5". You can add on additional stickers for $3 each.

There are still a few more hidden stretch goals planned out along with the announced stretch goals ;)

Thank you all for the support, and if anyone is at Shepherd's Harvest in MN this weekend I'll be wandering around on Sunday so stop and say hi! Have a great weekend.

Stretch Goal #1 Hit and Stretch Goal #2 Reveal!
almost 6 years ago – Tue, May 08, 2018 at 08:53:57 PM

Good morning, backers!

We've hit the first stretch goal, which means that everyone who backs a physical reward tier will receive a vinyl sticker with their rewards! 

This also means that stickers will be available as add-ons now and can be added on to any tier for $3 each.

Next up is the $25k Stretch Goal. Stretch Goal 2 is an additional quest pattern in the book, this time a DK weight scarf pattern. This is a larger scarf (and longer quest) that will use about 650 yards of each color. This pattern can also be done in Fingering (Sock) weight if you would prefer a lighter scarf.

Thank you all for your support, and I'll touch base soon!

Good evening, backers! I wanted to drop in and say thank you all for an excellent opening weekend of the Welcome to Yarnia Kickstarter! It's been a long road to get here and I'm very excited to see everything coming along so well. 

We are funded!!!

 Friends, I am so excited to send out this update.

We. Are. FUNDED!

Thank you all for the amazing support. It's been less than a week and we're at the goal! 

Now that we've hit the funding goal, I can start sharing some of the stretch goals. All of the goals are hinted at in the Stretch Goals section, and as we hit a goal I'll reveal what the next one will be.

Our first stretch goal is at 20k, and it looks like this - 

 If we hit 20k all backers of physical rewards will receive a vinyl sticker of the Yarn Dragon logo. These are high quality stickers that are great for putting on laptops, water bottles, all that jazz. They will also be available as an add-on reward if you want more than one.

I'll leave the rest as a surprise, there are some very excellent things planned for the future.

PS I'm opening an addition 2 Wandering Feline Companion slots, in case anyone is wanting a physical Feline Companion to join them on their adventures!
