If you love working with Scottish wool, swotting up on your textile history and discovering beautiful knitting patterns to cast on, Yarn: The Journal of Scottish Yarns Issue 9 has your name all over it.
This Spring / Summer 2026 issue is inspired by Bernat Klein, the celebrated designer and colourist known for his big, bold use of texture and unexpected colour combinations. It’s this which is the basis for the collection of knitting and crochet designs within. 9 fantastic wearable layers and knitted accessories that play with colour and texture in really interesting ways – and you know we love a bit of colourwork knitting!
Yarn: The Journal of Scottish Yarns Issue 9 includes:
- 3 knitted tops
- 1 crochet top
- 1 knitted vest
- 1 crocheted vest
- 1 knitted wrap
- 1 knitted scarf
- 1 knitted cowl
and there’s more than just the pattern designs, too. Alongside the knitting and crochet, there’s loads to dig into if you’re interested in Scottish wool and fibre history. You’ll find tidbits about Scottish sheep breeds and the story of wool in Scotland, and modern craft projects showing off Scotland’s creatives.
