I am starting an online magazine!
It will be called "Spindlicity" and will be all about handspindles. I am currently planning articles on spindle techniques, different types of spindles, a gallery of handspindled yarns, projects for spindlers, making spindles, interviews with professional spindle makers, ethnic and historic spindle use, peripheral projects like dyeing, knitting, weaving etc. The target market is new spinners who haven't yet made the commitment to a wheel, re-enactors, spindle collectors, and spinners who love spindles. I am sort of patterning it after both Spin-Off and Knitty. The magazine will be quarterly with the first issue scheduled for December. I'm not sure why I'm doing this, but already it's been a lot of fun! It's certainly a lot more fun than thinking about my housing problems!





















If you're interested in writing an article or If you have any ideas for this magazine, I'd love to hear them!

I hope you'll all read Spindlicity in December!
