YARN 12 – Romance

Indulge in a timeless love for nature, the female form, and intricate detail this autumn with the twelfth issue of YARN Bookazine. Romance pays tribute to the artists and muses of the 19th century, drawing inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements and their devotion to beauty, craftsmanship, and storytelling.

This issue celebrates the joy of making through a rich collection of wearable and home décor designs influenced by the paintings, textiles, and ornamental interiors of the era. Featuring 11 crochet and 7 knitting patterns, the collection showcases exquisite lacework, expressive colorwork, and contemporary interpretations of historical motifs, symbols, and embellishments. Fine detail is thoughtfully balanced with modern functionality, explored through a wide range of stitch techniques, fibers, color palettes, and surface embroidery.

Romanticism unfolds across four captivating chapters, each named in honor of a celebrated muse: Lizzie Siddal, Fanny Eaton, Annie Miller, and Effie Gray. Alongside the patterns, the issue includes engaging feature articles on the legacy of these art movements, the remarkable life of Fanny Eaton, and inspiring interviews with contemporary creatives such as paper artist Pippa Dyrlaga and craftsman Hugh Dunford-Wood.

Elegant, expressive, and richly layered, YARN 12 – Romance is an invitation to slow down and create with intention.

Immerse yourself in YARN 12 – Romance and let history, beauty, and craftsmanship inspire your next project.
