Summer 2023: The Place Issue

• Ever struggle with where twist should or shouldnt be when youre spinning?

• Do you want to know the best place to take a plyback from?

• Are you intrigued with fibers and spinners from other places?

• Do you want to spin, knit, crochet, and weave?

The issue is about places. Its about the places we love and the places we spin; its about the places where fibers come from and the places the craft is going. Its also about fiber and prep and spinning. Where is twist? Where should it be? How does where the twist is impact your yarn? Where should your hands be? Where should your plyback come from or does it matter? Where should you focus your energy and hands to spin more consistently? How important is hand and fiber placement in prep and spinning? The issue covers fascinating fibers that come from one single place (and how to spin them). Theres crochet, knitting, and weaving projects, and we travel from the US to Japan to New Zealand to the UK. Youll want to settle into your favorite place, drink some tea, and live in this issue.
