This week on the Journal, we’re exploring the beauty of simple stitches. From garter stitch and stockinette to ribbing, lace, cables and small textured repeats, we’re looking at how stitch patterns shape the fabric we make and bring texture, movement and interest to handmade projects.

Every yarn has its own texture before we even begin stitching. This week, we’re looking at how smooth, fluffy, crisp, drapey and flecked yarns shape the fabric we make, and how choosing the right base can help a project feel beautiful to knit, crochet and wear.

This month on the Journal, we’re turning our attention to texture. In this first post, we begin with the feeling of fabric: how yarn, stitch pattern and fibre shape the way a project looks, feels in our hands, and becomes something we love to wear.
