    🧶 Yarn shop owner and knitting instructor Wooly Winthrop is hosting her weekly knitting class when the town's most demanding customer is found strangled with a rare, hand-dyed yarn skein from her own inventory. The police suspect a crime of passion, but Wooly notices the yarn has been deliberately tangled in a complex knot used by sailors and the victim's knitting project contains a coded message in Morse code via knit and purl stitches. With her shop's reputation unraveling faster than a cheap sweater, Wooly must cast on her own investigation. Assisted by her loyal knitting group and the handsome sheep farmer who supplies her wool, Wooly uncovers a tangled web involving yarn smuggling, rare breed sheep theft, and a counterfeit yarn operation. From suspicious dye lots that reveal chemical anomalies to fiber content that doesn't match the label, every skein tells a story. But when Wooly discovers the victim was blackmailing local crafters about their yarn stash secrets and pattern thefts, she realizes the killer is protecting a scheme more twisted than any cable knit. With the annual Fiber Festival approaching and the real culprit still spinning lies, Wooly must weave together the clues before her own thread gets permanently cut.

    "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of the eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and one of the few stories in which for much of the plot Watson must act alone and try his best with Holmes left in the background.
    Holmes sends Dr. Watson to Lausanne to investigate Lady Frances Carfax's disappearance since he himself is too busy in London. Lady Frances is a lone, unwed woman denied a rich inheritance on account of her sex. She does, however, carry valuable jewels with her. It is also her habit to write to her old governess, Miss Dobney, every other week, but for the past five weeks, there has not been a word from her. She has left the Hôtel National for parts unknown. Her last two bank transactions were cheques, one to pay her hotel bill, and another for £50 to her maid, Miss Marie Devine.
