Spin Off Winter 2026

Natural fibers—whether plant-based like flax and cotton or animal-based like wool and llama—are at the heart of sustainable spinning. The Winter 2026 issue invites you to explore deeper connections to these materials with fresh inspiration for using your handspun. Discover small-space natural dyeing, twined knitting, and the art of dehairing llama fiber, plus ideas to spark your next spin.

Inside, you’ll also find:

• Andrea Mowry’s guidance for beginning supported spindle spinning

• Kate Larson’s expert tips on park-and-draft techniques

• Patterns for classic and modern accessories

• A linen bread bag project inspired by antique grain sacks

• A look into the history of the Coast Salish Wooly Dog from The Teachings of Mutton

With four new projects and a rich lineup of articles, this issue is full of ways to bring the beauty of natural fibers into your spinning practice.
