The secrets of silk—a lustrous fiber that has been harvested and used for thousands of years in some of the most exquisite items—can now be yours. SpinKnit is back with a brand-new Winter 2011 issue that explores the history, tradition, and uses of silk around the world. This dynamic eMag immerses you in the work of spinners, knitters, and silk experts from all over. With stunning photography, informative articles, and engaging videos, this eMag is a one of a kind experience.

Explore silk, past, present, and future: Discover the rich history of silk cultivation, spinning, and weaving in Mexican villages. Learn how a silkworm’s diet affects the colors of the silk it produces (and how scientists are achieving cocoons in colors never seen in nature).

Take silk to the next level by learning different methods of spinning, reeling, and drafting. Michael Cook shows you how to try traditional Lao techniques of reeling right in your own kitchen. Sara Lamb demonstrates how (and why) she spins silk for knitting. Finally, take a break from spinning and draw yarn from mawata (silk hankies or caps).

There’s more than just silk in this issue of SpinKnit! Stephenie Gaustad gives step-by-step directions and tips for spinning more than just cotton on a tahkli spindle. Explore a variety of methods for using hand cards—and see why experts don’t all agree on the “right” way to card wool by hand. Visit the Imperial Stock Ranch of Oregon and learn about the development of the Columbia sheep—and how they are bringing new life to a historic district.

Don’t just read it, experience it! Explore SpinKnit and find great features like:

  • 10 videos that demonstrate preparing silk, working with wool, and spinning a variety of yarns.
  • 8 slide shows  that capture wonderful detail with stunning photography
  • Animations and interactivity that bring the articles and techniques to life
  • 4 all-new patterns that are easy to print
  • In-depth instruction to help you go even further into the world of silk and wool

SpinKnit Winter 2011 allows you to experience the ancient traditions of working with silk in a groundbreaking, cutting-edge technology. Change your view of fiber forever with an eMag that is nothing short of extraordinary.

1. So what is SpinKnit Winter 2011?

SpinKnit Winter 2011 is a dynamic digital product called an eMag that you can download onto your computer and enjoy on or offline. It requires a simple software application called Adobe® Air® that’s easy to use and is installed on your computer automatically the first time you install an Interweave eMag.  

SpinKnit Winter 2011 includes articles, videos, gallery slideshows, hyperlinks to inspiring and informative websites, and so much more. With just the click of your mouse, you can watch video interviews and tutorials, view slideshows that let you zoom in to see more, and navigate easily around the eMag.  

2. What is the editorial focus of SpinKnit Winter 2011?  

Inside SpinKnit Winter 2011 you’ll find:

  • In-depth articles on spinning and knitting techniques and traditions and fabulous fibers
  • Video visits to textile destinations and interviews with leaders and legends in the craft 
  • Gallery slide shows of places to go and inspiring creations that you can zoom in on to see close-up details

  • Always a healthy dose of whimsy and a dash of fun  

3. How is it different from the digital editions of Spin-Off Magazine® or Interweave Knits Magazine®?  

SpinKnit Winter 2011 is an entirely unique product, separate from our print magazines. Unlike the digital editions of Spin-Off® or Interweave Knits®, which are exact digital replications of the print editions, SpinKnit Winter 2011 was developed to provide a multi-media experience, a digital environment that takes lets you see spinners and knitters in action, fibers at the source, and all the fine details of fiber arts. It includes videos, slideshows with zoom options that let you zero in on interesting details, patterns that can be downloaded and printed, links to useful information and products, and other interactive features.  

4. Will SpinKnit Winter 2011 be available as a print magazine?  

Because this was built as a digital product, it will not be printed as a traditional magazine; however, you can certainly print each of the pages. In fact, we hope you will! For instance, you’ll want to print the materials lists and patterns to stick in your bag the next time you go to your local fiber or yarn store.  

5. Will the availability of SpinKnit Winter 2011 mean that Spin-Off Magazine® will stop printing?  

Absolutely not! SpinKnit Winter 2011 is an entirely separate product, produced in addition to the Spin-Off® and Interweave Knits® publications.  

6. Does the SpinKnit Winter 2011 eMag require a subscription?  

No. SpinKnit Winter 2011 is a stand-alone product, similar to Interweave special issues such as Interweave Knits Weekend or Interweave Knit & Spin. Anyone can purchase it without a subscription of any kind.
