Interweave Knits Fall 2022

Dear Reader, Fall is my favorite season. The moment the calendar turns to September, I can feel a shift in the air. The days are still warm, but there is a scent on the breeze that lets you know it won’t last long. And the nights! The warmth of the day breaks and you find yourself needing to grab a sweater to stay outside just a bit longer. Contented sigh, I love it so. In this issue, we’re embracing those warm days and cool nights with two inspired collections. In each you’ll find garments and accessories that range from super cozy to combat the cold, to light enough for layering even in the heat. And despite knowing I shouldn’t play favorites, I’ve already ordered the yarn to make myself a…

The wide-open space and bright-blue skies of the Midwest prairies did not disappoint on the warm November day that I visited The Fiber Mill. As I drove into the small Nebraska town of Stromsburg (population 1,139 in 2019), the brick streets, town square, and park in the center of downtown looked like the perfect spot for farmers markets and community festivals. Just off the downtown park, Kelsey Patton grows her fiber business. Kelsey’s yarn shop, Spindle, Shuttle, and Needle, opened in 2011. In September 2020, Kelsey and her family opened The Fiber Mill, too. Housed in the back of the same building as the yarn shop, The Fiber Mill handles wool processing from all over the United States, turning wool and other fibers into yarn, roving, and felt. With the…
