Yarnologie Magazine

Australian owned and made, Yarnologie is The Journal for knitters, crocheters and yarn lovers.

What's it all about?

Yarnologie is about supporting the local yarn industry, giving a voice to Australia and New Zealand and tying in with our unique southern hemisphere seasons.

From fibre growers to mills, designers and makers - the magazine delights in sharing the stories of the people who grow, make and create with yarn.

Alongside interviews and stories, the magazine includes articles that educate (such as our popular Know Your Yarn series) and tutorials for both knitting and crochet.

Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4 are currently in stock and on sale.

Tom’s review:

Engaging articles. Great flow in layout lead by thoughtful design.

I enjoyed the human story focus that balanced nicely with the techniques and project inspiration.

Yarnologie represents the actual diversity and depth we see everyday in fibre craft, rather than the light touch commercially driven publications.

It’s always good to finish the initial flick through a magazine over a cuppa wanting to revisit a few articles when there’s a bit more time.
