The new issue of PLY Magazine is out and should be hitting spinning mailboxes soon.

This one is all about fiber preparation, carding , combing, flicking, dizzing and the like. There are best usage tips, step by step instruction for newbies, and lots of talk about prepping for a specific project or purpose.

There are three amazing patterns in this issue, a colorwork cowl from Tanis Gray, a textured cardigan from Amy Christoffers and a woven book cover by Rachel Simmons.

I'm doing most of my work for PLY behind the scenes these day, but I have an article in this issue about intutive preparation.

If your local fiber source doesn’t sell PLY you can buy it directly from us.

We are always looking for new writers and designers at PLY. Interested in telling the world about what you are a passionate about in spinning or showing off your handspun yarn design chops? All the info you need is here.
