About this listen

For Libby Beckett, opening her charming yarn shop, and introducing customers to the joys of knitting and crochet, is the work she was meant to do. Until the yarn she loves is used for murder....

Libby has come home to Collinstown, Maryland, to live her dream and open her own yarn shop, aptly named Y.A.R.N., along the Chester River. To Libby, Y.A.R.N. stands for "You're Absolutely Ready Now". But the acronym changes whenever inspiration strikes, and customers add to the list of suggestions that fill the blackboard wall in a shop stuffed with color, fiber, and comfort.

Libby is thrilled when she lands famous Norwegian knitting celebrity Perle Langager for a series of events at Y.A.R.N. Libby's English bulldog, Hank, has been modeling one of Perle's doggie sweaters, and customers just can't wait to see Perle in action. The mayor of Collinstown even decrees a Collinstown Yarn Day to celebrate. But once Perle arrives in town, she seems distracted and on edge. And when she's found strangled with a skein of red yarn, Libby knows she has to solve a knotty mystery before her new life unravels.

* This audio edition includes a downloadable PDF of a knitting pattern for the Norwegian inspired dog sweater mentioned in the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ok! I simply can not wrap my mind around a town letting rather over zealous knitters wrap the town’s trees with yarn. Imagine how insane that is. Along with the over the top cost of good yarn, very pricey.
Guess author had to come up with an idea to base the book on.

Taking knitting yarn to do what???

I thought I seen some similarities as another yarn series but then I started to see the novel for what it was and I really enjoyed it!!! I so enjoyed listening and will get the other ones too!!!

I was overly critical at first

As a knitter/crocheter I truly enjoyed this story. Thoughts of having my own yarn shop made this especially dear to my heart. The story was well written and the performance wonderful. I look forward to future stories from Allie Pleiter.

Entertaining, fun and involving read

This book was the first I read from this author and it won’t be the last! I love the characters and storyline. The shop sounds picturesque, and I would love to help them yarn bomb something!

Will continue this series!

So sorry that I paid cash, even on sale, for this audio as it is unreturnable.
Nicely narrated by Brittany Pressley, but the main character's continual criticism of her mother simply is not what I wanted to read.

DNF...too much elder criticism

What a fun book! The story is interesting, the characters are likeable, and the writing is crisp. The author has a sense of humor, and it shows. I tend to shy away from cozies as they frequently disappoint, but this was wonderfully fun and well written. The narration was well done.

Fun, and no brain cells lost

I loved sitting and knitting my project while listening to this entertaining book. Allie Pleiter is a very good writer and her narrator Brittany Presley has a lovey charming voice. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a charming knitting mystery. I can’t wait to listen to her next book, and of course knit!!!

Delightful Book!

The talk by the author was charming. She should have narrated the book. Although the protagonist was held to be admirable, she complained and whined a bit too much. On a trivial note, just can't visualize yarn bombing as art.

Charming author

I enjoyed listening to On Skein of Death. The narrator is good.
Yarn is the name of the store, the source of many projects and a tool of death in this tale.
Libby is an interesting main character.

Yarn at its best and worst

YES, THERE ARE OTHER KNITTING MYSTERIES - COZIES- BUT THIS ONE HAS SOME UNIQUE TOUCHES, AT LEAST TO NON-KNITTER ME. I LOVED THE NORWEGIAN VS DANISH INFO, THE NEEDLE DESIGNS, AND LIBBY'S ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ART OF KNITTING. THE CHARACTERS ARE ENGAGING AND ENTERTAINING. THE STORY WAS WELL WRITTEN AND INTELLIGENT, AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK 2.

GREAT NEW SERIES
