Knitting Magazine – Issue 244

Explore eco yarns: in this issue we delve into eco-friendly yarns and designs. Conservationist, educator and film maker Jo Ruxton MBE sincerely believes that if everyone makes one or two small changes it can have a massive impact on the environment – and we offer some top tips to get you started. This issue is packed with designs in yarns that are sustainable in one way or another, so check out the stories in our gallery pages and we hope you’ll find something you’d love to cast on.

On a (much) brighter note, we’re looking at a key catwalk trend for the season – Barbiecore. With a new Barbie movie set to hit the silver screen this summer, we’re exploring the hottest of hot pinks for your needles and beyond. And we meet author and knitter Lesley-Ann Brown, who shares stories from her own knitting heritage.
