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.

We find that many knitters struggle to decide which mending method to use, which yarns will work, and so on. So, let’s talk about it!

Snags, moths, and daily wear can leave our knits with holes. Woven patches are a great way to combat holes large and small before they can run and enlarge. We’ll show you three easy ways to get mending now.

High arches often mean that beautiful handknit socks are uncomfortable and rarely get worn—until you adjust the heel depth to create the extra room your foot actually needs.

Having the right tools on hand always makes mending feel more manageable. We have some suggestions for basics and beyond, plus a few ways to improvise in a pinch!

From sore wrists to tight shoulders, many common knitting aches are preventable with small changes in posture, grip, and regular stretching.
