A common thread in the fibre arts community is the shared appreciation for creating something tangible, a piece that can be held and felt in contrast to our screen-dominant lives. Needlebound provides a space where fibre artists can share their stories and perspectives in a place that is not dominated through platform algorithms. It's name is an homage to the 5th century craft of Nålebinding, which was a precursor to knitting and served as a social catalyst, where artisans gathered to create, share stories, and foster community. Needlebound contains essays, interviews, photo editorials and patterns from 35 contributors over 148 pages (PDF). Please be aware that the images shown in this listing are mockups of the printed version of the zine. The downloadable version will consist of separate individual pages. To fully appreciate the considered & thoughtful layout design of the zine, it is recommended to view it in two-page mode in your PDF reader.
