Coming to print for the first time, the premier issue of Farm & Fiber Knits is packed with farm-fresh knitting stories and designs. Journey around the world and immerse yourself in beautiful landscapes and locations while you find your next must-knit project.
As you flip through the pages, you’ll meet shepherds, yarn-makers, and designers dedicated to sustainability, stewardship, and promoting the handmade life—and find out how you can support their work. Then, follow natural fiber from its source on farms and islands through small mills that create yarn into the hands of knitters and designers. Next, discover the legacies of twisted-stitch knitting, colorwork, and garment design, and get an exclusive look at the imaginative textile and ecology work of knitting legends Alice and Jade Starmore.
Along with these inviting stories and features, you’ll get 10 original designs from renowned designers such as Meg Swansen, Deborah Newton, Gudrun Johnston, Védís Jónsdóttir, and more.
