This issue is all about Plants! We’re diving deep into cotton, flax, hemp, and nettles, plus a few lesser-known plant fibers you might not have spun before. You’ll find practical articles on how to spin each fiber and how to adjust your wheel for best results, along with experiments on finishing techniques and methods for bleaching linen. We also have rich content on dyeing: both dyeing of plant fibers and dyeing with plants, including a step-by-step guide to setting up an indigo dye vat. Projects include two knitting patterns (a breezy tank top and cozy shawl), woven wine bags, and a coiled basket. Whether you’re a plant-fiber purist or just plant-curious, this issue is packed with inspiration!
