Whether you’re knitting socks, sleeves, or mitten thumbs, the needle style you choose can make all the difference in speed, comfort, and stitch quality.

Step inside Emily Lymm’s dye studio to discover how thoughtful fiber sourcing and slow, intentional dye processes result in richly saturated colors.

With better alignment and regular movement breaks, you can turn marathon knitting sessions into comfortable, sustainable stitching time.

A generous gauge swatch is a knitter’s best hope of making a project that matches the measurements of the pattern. So when is it OK—or even better—to knit a different gauge?

With the Spring 2026 issue of Farm & Fiber Knits, you’re invited on a playful, page-by-page hunt for sheep and fiber animals from around the world, showcasing more breed diversity than ever before.

Our new issue celebrates great yarns—how to choose them, use them, substitute them, and choose the right pattern to make them sing.

According to these mill owners, breed-specific yarns ask us to pay attention—to staple length and sheen, to regional abundance, and to the quiet decisions that shape a yarn long before it reaches a knitter’s hands.

Our Spring issue invites you from the shearing shed to the needles, with thoughtful patterns, soulful storytelling, and farm-to-fiber inspiration on every page.

We have 4 selvedge edges you should know for tidy knits.

Go behind the scenes to see how a farm, a studio, and a few four-legged costars helped make the magic happen for our Spring 2026 issue.
