Spin-Off Magazine
Spin-Off is a quarterly magazine devoted to the interests of handspinners at all skill levels. Informative articles in each issue aim to encourage the novice, challenge the expert, and increase every spinner's working knowledge of this ancient and complex craft. If you are a spinner whose idea interests us, but you're an inexperienced writer, we will work with you on presenting your thoughts. If you are not a spinner, it will be difficult for you to write effectively for this magazine. Spin-Off is many things. As a contributor, think of it as a forum where you can share your experiences and knowledge with your community. Consider how your contribution will serve the reader. Read more...

PieceWork Magazine
PieceWork is a bimonthly magazine with high visual impact focusing on the historical
aspects of needlework around the world. PieceWork readers are passionate about and do
needlework; they value the role needlework has played, and plays, in the ongoing human story. Well-researched feature stories explore the historical traditions of needlework, including needlepoint, embroidery, cross-stitch, quilting, knitting, crocheting, basketry, beadwork, tatting, lace making, and surface design. PieceWork readers want to know the origin of the various needlework techniques, how they were done, who did them, and why. Readers also want to know how they might use a technique today. Therefore, several articles in each issue have associated projects that use the technique to produce a high-quality finished item that readers will want to keep or present as a gift. Read more...

Handwoven Magazine
What's coming in Handwoven
Here are the themes for upcoming issues of Handwoven. We’d love for you to become a contributor! To be considered, send us a photo of your work and a brief description. If you’ve woven something wonderful that is not related to one of the themes, send us a photo of that, too—not all articles have to be related to issue themes. Send materials at least five months before the issue date for the best opportunity to be considered. To see what’s involved in preparing an article, click on author guidelines.
January/February 2008
It's All in the Weft
This issue focuses on the weft: for rag rugs and mats, weft-faced rugs and runners, boundweave fabrics, and tapestry techniques. We’re also looking for projects that introduce unusual ways of using pattern wefts, clasped wefts, compound wefts, and inlay.
March/April 2008
Coordinated Fabrics for Interiors
In the November/December 2006 issue of Handwoven, Sharon Alderman presented three coordinated decorative fabrics for the home (a table runner, a throw, a pillow top). Projects in this issue will show two or more coordinated textiles to decorate a room: living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom.
May/June 2008
Lace in Summer Colors
Lace is great in white and natural, but it comes alive with color. This issue will feature huck, Swedish, and Bronson laces using hot summer colors. Think of clothing, curtains, picnic cloths, table linens, coverups, light wraps, and summer scarves.
September/October 2008
Weaving World Wide
Weavers get inspiration from other weavers more than from any other source. This issue presents projects inspired by weaving around the world, from Japan, Scandinavia, Guatemala, Peru, India, Africa, and more—both in design and technique.
November/December 2008
Fulling and Felting
This issue explores the current fascination weavers have with what can be created in the fulling process: feltlike fabrics, softly felted fabrics with holes that don’t ravel, fabrics with waves and bumps from differential shrinkage—all of the magic that can happen after the cloth leaves the loom.
