The Journal of Scottish Yarns - Issue 9
£24.00
The theme of issue 9 is Bernat Klein: the Borders based designer and colourist who was active from the 1960s. Alison Harley, chair of the Bernat Klein Foundation has written an article about Klein and you will also find articles about the history of Scottish wool, more on our native sheep breeds (Vikings, St Kilda and Romans are all mentioned!) as well as stories of people, projects and initiatives which showcase Scottish textile arts and crafts and artisans.
There are 6 knitting and 3 crochet designs inspired by his work and I hope you will agree they are fabulous!
The Journal of Scottish Yarns was created by Susan Anderson in 2021 to celebrate the rich heritage of Scottish textiles — from Harris Tweed and Fair Isle knitting to Shetland wool, cashmere and tartan — and the mills, artisans and makers who have shaped that story. Today, a new generation of small wool producers, indie dyers and independent designers is putting Scottish textiles back on the map, and the Journal is here to tell their stories. Equal parts cultural record and creative showcase, it's a beautiful resource for anyone who loves the craft, the landscape and the people behind the yarn.
