Yarn - The Journal of Scottish Yarns is a bi-annual journal focusing on community, history, culture, and creativity of textiles in Scotland. This publication is colorful and offers an insightful view of all things yarn related, making connections and joining threads.  

Yarn - The Journal of Scottish Yarns Issue 6 is full of beautiful inspiration for knitters, crocheters, and all of us who are in love with natural fibers! You'll find loads of information on various fibers including a quest to answer the question: why is Scotland famous for cashmere? We are especially excited to see an article on Thistler friend, Gudrun Johnston, discussing how her designs bridge the past and the future and are inspired by her mother, the original Shetland Trader!
