Since we launched Issue 6 at the beginning of the month, you may have heard us mention the easy read version, and while we've talked about it here and there, we thought it would be a good idea to write this post to tell you exactly what it is and how you get it!
We’ve created this new version of Issue 6 specifically for our non and partially sighted members of the community. We've been working closely with a fantastic accessibility expert, Renee Van Hoy, to transform Issue 6 (and Issue 5!) into a format that is accessible for our community members with vision impairment or low vision.
If you didn't already know, we have an Easy Read version of Issue 5 & Issue 6, and both are in digital format. You get access to the easy read versions when you purchase either the print or digital of either Issue 5 or 6. For example, if you purchase Issue 6 in print, you get the print version plus the digital version and the Easy read version. If you purchase Issue 6 in digital, you get the digital version and the Easy read version.
How you receive your copy of Easy Read depends on where you purchase your copy of our magazine. If you purchase a digital version from Ravelry, the easy read version will automatically be included in your download. If you purchase either the digital or print version from our website, the easy read version will be automatically emailed to you using the email address you use to make your purchase. In that email, you will find a link to a dropbox folder that contains all the files for the easy read version.
As each of the patterns have been expanded to include all written instructions and eliminate the charts, they are much longer than in the original publication. With the addition of the enlarged font, it created a long document that felt a little clumsy to work with. To make it easier to navigate, we have split it up into sections. When you download the easy-read version, you will find the main file titled ‘Start Here’ that includes all the editorial content such as the letter for the editor, all articles and artwork, plus an introduction to all the patterns. Alongside this file, we have separated each pattern into its own file. This way, when you want to knit a particular pattern, you can work just from that pattern file, and not have to go back and forth through one long document. If you need any help at all navigating the easy read version after downloading, please do send us an email and we'll be happy to help!
So that's all our information on Easy Read Issues 5 & 6! This is still really new territory for us, so we'd appreciate any help to spread the word. If you know anyone who you think may be interested in the easy version of our magazine, please do point them to this post, and if you have any questions at all, please let us know in the comments below!

Hello lovelies,
One of my all-time favorite tasks when we get a new yarn in is to put together pattern and color combinations. And with Bérénice, De Rerum Natura's sustainably produced Mohair / Merino / Silk yarn (fluffy like a cloud!), the possibilities for patterns and colors are close to endless!
I narrowed it down to my five favorite patterns (well, of right now) in color combinations that showcase the full rainbow of Bérénice colors. I've put a ton more patterns over on our Pinterest Board for pattern inspo for fluffy yarns if you're looking for more!
Now, though, let's take a look at my top 5!

Hi lovelies!
I'm thrilled to be back in this space, and with something really, really exciting at that! For the past year, I've been on the hunt for a sustainably-produced fluffy yarn - we used to carry Knitting for Olive's Soft Silk Mohair which is delightful, but also... everyone has it now? So I was looking for something that was a little out of the ordinary, but also responsibly sourced, and as it goes with anything that involves mohair and silk, that was really hard.
Cue De Rerum Natura, who secretly have been working behind the scenes at exactly that yarn I'd been looking for: An "as sustainably as it can get" fluff yarn that works perfectly for a broad range of projects, from whispers of lace shawls to holding it together with more substantial yarns.
