Books, Magazines, Classes

September 25, 2014/in Frontpage Article/by Guest Blogger

I’ve always been a big reader. Fiction and nonfiction, both. I’ve learned a lit from books and magazines over the years. I have a giant collection of books. Every room in my house has at least one bookshelf – even some of the hallways. Check out this photo of the shelves where I keep most […]

Get on the spinners/dyers/photographer list!

September 21, 2014/in Call for dyers, Call for spinners, Frontpage Article/by Jacey Faulkner

I hope that it’s clear that PLY loves indie businesses. It’s not hard to do, is it? I can’t think of many fiber businesses that aren’t indie! It’s the nature of our community, even our big companies are still small companies, you know? Often dyers work in the kitchens. Spinners set up shop in their […]

September 11, 2014/in Frontpage Article, Photography/by Bernadette Emerson

When Jacey first told me that she was starting a spinning magazine, I said something like “Awesome! You’ll do great!” I even meant it. Next she said she wanted me to take the photos, to which I replied something like “Are you crazy?” The thing is, and if you know Jacey you will totally […]

Ideas: What Am I Going to Write About?

September 4, 2014/in Frontpage Article, Writing/by Jillian Moreno

I write about spinning. That’s a big part of my job and I feel grateful every day. When I first started getting more writing work I started freaking out about ideas – what am I going to write about? I think writing about spinning is important, so I wanted to have IDEAS, and write about […]

PLY like an eagle

September 2, 2014/in Frontpage Article, Spinning, Spinzilla/by Jacey Faulkner

Spinzilla invited me to be part of their 2015 blog tour. I was assigned the topic of plying and if there’s anything I know, it’s plying. I’ve plied even, I’ve plied off-tensioned, I’ve plied with a push up and a squiggle, I’ve plied the same yarn this way and that way and over and […]

Am I Write?

August 28, 2014/in Frontpage Article, Writing/by Guest Blogger

In 2008 I wrote my first article that ever got published. It was for KnittySpin and it was about scouring and spinning Cormo. Not a bad article and I got some good feedback so I decided to carry on. I proposed articles for a couple of other spinning magazines, both in print and electronic. Some […]

If you’re one of the PLY readers that missed out on issue #2 and #3 (Color and Woolen), guess what? We are reprinting! However, since we are a small operation, we don’t have green enough just sitting around, so we’re going to have to do what we did for the Summer 2013 (#1, first). Here’s […]

Brighton top fiber give-a-way!

August 5, 2014/in Frontpage Article, Give-a-way/by Jacey Faulkner

Man alive, did you just love Anne Podlesak’s new design in the Twist issue of PLY? I adore it. I also adore the woman that modeled it for us. So wonderful. We were just out shooting and out runs this woman with my book in hand asking me to sign it, saying she’d just taken […]
