#19 - The Planning Issue, Winter 2017

PLY Magazine — Planning Issue

We love a good spin-by-the-seat-of-your-pants moment — the kind that’s meditative, intuitive, and a little wild. But we also know that sometimes… you need a plan. This issue is here for exactly those moments.

Whether you’re trying to dial in the just-right twist angle, spin the exact amount of yarn a project needs, or work backward from a dream project to the perfect fiber and structure, this issue helps you slow down and think it through. If spinning math makes your head spin, or inspiration feels just out of reach, you’ll find tools here to make planning feel approachable — even enjoyable.

And yes, if you like lists, you’re very much among friends. You’ll find lists for teaching spinning, planning classes, setting up fiber studios and cozy spinning nooks, building the ultimate spinning tool bag, and even what to grab if you have to bug out quickly (fiber priorities matter).

From deeply technical spinning topics to big-picture fiber lifestyle planning, this issue covers the full spectrum. There’s truly a lot here — not just a little for everyone. As always, expect gorgeous photography, thoughtful writing, and projects that challenge and inspire you in all the best ways.

Plan when you need to. Improvise when you want to. This issue helps you do both with confidence.
