After having the opportunity to spend some time immersed in Navajo culture, Designer Noelle Sharp shares her experience with us in the article titled “Word of Mouth”. Get a glimpse of the rich history of Navajo weaving through Sharp’s eyes, and you’re sure to share her keen sense of appreciation and respect for their age-old techniques.

 

Many of you may be familiar with DMC, the famous supplier of quality embroidery thread for the last 271 years. I’d recognize those tiny hanks of colorful thread anywhere. In the article “String Theory”, we learn a little bit more about this venerable company and their long-standing dedication to creativity.

 

What’s so special about Navajo-Churro sheep? Find out in Janelle Pietrzak’s article titled “A Prairie Companion” – and here’s a hint: It’s not just about how cute they are!

 

Remember those knitting patterns I mentioned? Here’s one now! The Kimber Beret above is a jaunty cap with pinwheel shaping. Make a machine-washable version with Jo Sharp New Era Merino DK Superwash Yarn or Malabrigo Arroyo Yarn, or go for classic wool and use Jo Sharp Classic DK Wool Yarn. If you’re looking for something a little fancier, you could use Jo Sharp Alpaca Kid Lustre Yarn for just the slightest bit of haloed sheen.
Size: Adult woman
Yarn: Approximately 250 yards DK weight yarn.
