Introducing

Hello folks! Welcome to today's very special blog post. A little while back, you may remember that we wrote this post on Breed Specific yarn. Here at Making Stories, we love breed-specific yarn, so much so that we've been dying to get a little more 'specific' ourselves. While that original post gave a great overview of what breed-specific yarn is, we thought it would be fun to get into the very fibres of the topic. And that is where I am excited to welcome the fabulous Pam Allen to the blog.

It's finally here - Issue 3 is live, and we could not be more excited to share it with you! To celebrate, we thought it would be fun to explore some of the designs in Issue 3, exploring their journey from swatch to finished sample.

Issue 3 centres around the theme of Growth and our designers have been kind enough to share a few words about how this influenced their work, and where else they draw inspiration.

Welcome, to another edition of 'Where In The World Is Making Stories?' - our regular segment where we visit one of incredible stockist and explore their corner of the world! Today, we are dropping in on Judith from Fine Fettle Fibres who lives and works in the UK.

Hello folks! Today I want to share a post with you that we have wanted to write for a while - Our CFS's ('Call for Submissions') and what we look for from a submission. If you are on our call for submission email list (and if you are not and want to be head here!), you will probably remember that we sent out several CFS's last summer. This was because Hanna Lisa was going on maternity leave, and we needed to do a lot of the work for Issues 2-4 ahead of time.
