They’re all around us across Canada and the U.S., but can you identify the best types of willow for weaving with? Don’t worry if you can’t yet, and pre-order Freyja Ulveland’s new zine BASKET WEAVING FOR BEGINNERS at the link in our bio or at shop.ninetenpublications.ca/products/bas... today!

There's so much amazing basketry, knitting and crochet in films and TV right now, it has me really missing the days when we could commission articles about it. So I wrote a bit of a Digits & Threads appreciation post, with a lot of links! 📸 Pic I took of my television of the show BELOW.

When Tara Klager traded the suburbs for forty acres in the shadow of the Canadian Rockies, she meant to raise a rare breed of sheep and maybe write about it.

Oh, also, I commissioned cover artwork and spot illustrations for this paperback. The artist is from Alberta and she is a DELIGHT. Also, this makes this book more spendy than our other b/w books, BECAUSE ART. Hence the pre-order campaign. shop.ninetenpublications.ca/products/pra...

Pre-order now and reserve your copy! Every pre-order will come with an exclusive 5x7 postcard featuring one of the original illustrations by Geneva Haley.

I have described this memoir as both the most literary book I'll ever work on, and also THE MOST Canadian book I've ever worked on, which is really something given that I only publish 🇨🇦 books. I LOVE IT. Tara is a marvellous writer; her prose is quirky, engaging, and raw. You should pre-order it.

What can I say? 🤷 But if anything can make me change my ways, it’s A USER’S GUIDE TO YARN by Michelle Boyd @spindleprincess.bsky.social. Pick up a copy at your local bookstore or yarn shop and find out if she can get you to break any of your bad yarn habits too! (🎶 Music is Lo-Fi Dream on Canva)

Thank you to the event coordinator (Ponnie, you are amazing!), volunteers, fellow vendors, and attendees who made XOXO Fibre (ponnster.wixsite.com/mysite) so fabulous! It was spectacular to meet and interact with so many of you and have so many wonderful conversations about books and crafts.

I sincerely hope the movie Wicker inspires people to learn basket weaving. That would be AMAZING.

🤭 Did you know the terminology of basket weaving is totally blush-inducing? Have you been thinking more about basketry than usual in anticipation of a certain movie coming out? 👀 Check out BASKET WEAVING FOR BEGINNERS by @halfmoonbaskets.bsky.social and dip your fingers into willow basket weaving!

I feel like the movie Wicker is already creating delight in my life, lol I have this tune (and lyrics) stuck in my head, and earlier I saw this book that is coming out 😂 😂https://bsky.app/profile/ninetenpub.bsky.social/post/3mxovbk5nko27

I'm so looking forward to getting this book. Do I have a place to do any kind of dyeing? No I do not. Yet. But a woman can dream. (Leery of dyeing in our kitchen because 1. It often involves toxic shit, yes even natural dye; 2. Kitchen so tiny; 3. It's a rental & landlord would not love me for it.)

Y'all we have been LAUGHING. (The zine is legit, though! Just you know brace yourself because the for-real terminology of basket weaving is FILTHY.) Pre-order a copy for your bestie is what I'm saying.

Last night we had a dream of an event at The Perfect Match here in Vancouver. GATHERING COLOUR author Caitlin ffrench joined the shop's book club for Emily Rath's DEVOUR ME and taught everyone to make a plant charm, with infused honey and plants for anything from warding off hexes to welcoming love.

Are you ready to find out everything you didn’t even know you didn’t know about yarn? Tuck in and enjoy the ride as expert spinner, crocheter, weaver, knitter, and yarn lover Michelle Boyd @spindleprincess.bsky.social illustrates what exactly yarn is, how it’s made, and how we use it.

So, yep! We're running two pre-order campaigns right now; for one (below) we're encouraging you to pre-order the book through your local bookstore, and for the other (basket weaving!) we're encouraging direct orders from us to finance production of the zine. Why such different asks? A 🧵
