Immediate warning to yarn users!

Knitpicks has recently been sending out yarn infested with carpet beetles. Apparently one of their warehouses has an active infestation.

They have shut the warehouse down for now, but if you have recent yarn from them in your stash in may be infested!

Knitpicks is not currently informing their customer base of this issue (pretty standard for them, unfortunately), so word of mouth is necessary.

[fibrearts]

Here's some more info from Reddit.

[kaiyonohime]

On Reddit one person that recently received an infested order is reporting that it came from Columbus, Ohio. So that could be where the infested warehouse is.

Suggested actions are to freeze your yarn for two weeks at 0F, or 72 hours of you can get your freezer colder.

You can also cook your yarn in the oven at 200F.

And, as this summer, black bag your yarn and leave it in a hot car for two weeks to cook.

[kaiyonohime]

More information!

Sadly, not good news.

Given the life cycle of carpet beetles, and the fact that at least one person has confirmed the eggs hatched in their yarn only within the last few days, the eggs had to have been laid roughly two weeks ago. So the infestation is older than two weeks at least.

The knitpicks team is currently on Reddit claiming they know nothing about this and will look into it. But other people on Reddit have already said they contacted knitpicks at least a week ago and were told the warehouse was being shut down for inspection. So, at the moment, the private equity firm that owns knitpicks is trying to do damage control. It's unknown if anything will actually be done.

ICE raids happening in Chicago on Tuesday January 21st. Get organized and get prepared.

[nevermindirah]

what to do if you are arrested or detained by law enforcement, a resource from the National Immigration Law Center, available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese

immigration law help, database of free and low-cost immigration lawyers, searchable by zip code as well as by detention facility if you or a loved one has already been detained

report an ICE raid or arrest in Chicagoland to the Resurrection Project, a Chicago nonprofit that works on immigration justice as well as housing affordability and other community needs

for those of us watching in horror from the sidelines, one of the best things we can do right now is donate to immigrant justice legal services, like the National Immigrant Justice Center or a local group in your community

in the longer term, we can all help by speaking out in support of immigrants and against these xenophobic deportation campaigns — in public discourse and in caring but firm one-on-one conversations with loved ones who've been swayed by hateful anti-immigrant rhretoric
