Knitting Cozy Mysteries & Needlecraft / Needlework Cozy Mysteries…
Monica Ferris writes the Needlecraft Mystery Series. Betsy Devonshire inherits the Crewel World needlework/yarn shop. Not only does she have to learn about needlework from the ground up, she also has to solve mysteries. I love that Ferris's books are usually stocked in needlepoint shops where needlepointers can be introduced to cozy mysteries!
Mary Kruger is another author who sets her cozy mystery series amongst the world of deeply hued yarns…. Ari Evans owns the Ariadne's Web knitting shop in this cozy series.
Does the House of Lambspun sound like a yarn shop to you? It should! It is the name of the shop where Maggie Sefton's cozy mystery sleuth (Kelly Flynn) learns how to knit.
One of the site's readers (a very helpful librarian, Janet) told me about a new cozy mystery series that should be out pretty soon: Betty Hechtman's new series will be a cozy crochet mystery. "Hooked on Murder" is the title of the first book in the series.
And, as Janet reminded me…. Miss Marple knits!
I recetnly add Debbie Macomber to the site, even though she doesn't write mysteries. She writes the Blossom Street Knitting Series…

Just a note. In the Maggie Sefton knitting series with Kelly Flynn, the name of the yarn shop is the "House of Lambspun" and not the "House of Homespun" as listed above. (Just in the middle of the latest one "Needled to Death" and thought that I'd send that correction)

Nancy,
Thanks so much for pointing that out. I don't know how I made that mistake!
