Where does your knitting yarn come from? Join us as we explore beyond the yarn label, visiting shepherds, designers, mills, and more around the globe in our second annual issue.

Venture to Scandinavia as beloved author and teacher Meg Swansen shows you two approaches for a Swedish knitting technique. Visit the Navajo Nation for a behind-the-scenes look at a wool buy with shepherd Nikyle Begay. Head to the Faroe Islands to learn about traditional wool and knitting patterns, and knit some Welsh socks and mend them, too. And meet some must-have yarns from Kenya, India, Mexico, and beyond.

Along with articles and tutorials, you’ll get ten knitting patterns focused on making the most of the natural fibers we love, with designs by Tressa Weidenaar, Mari Tobita, Julia Farwell-Clay, Meg Swansen, and more. From the pasture to the sweater, enjoy knitting your handmade life with this special issue.
