This article was originally published in Issue 47 and we’re delighted to make it publicly available here. Words: Lydia Gluck Photos: Sarah Chapman   Pom Pom co-founder and creative director Lydia Gluck was lucky enough to join the 2023 Return to Uruguay trip with Fairmount Fibers and Manos del Uruguay. The trip was a whirlwind tour of Uruguay, but also an insight into Manos itself. Here she reflects on the opportunity to travel, learn, and connect with knitters she never otherwise would have met.  The Uruguayan landscape is noticeably flat. While we watched it flash ..read more

This month we chatted with our December Pom MAL sponsor, Aimée of La Bien Aimée. Aimée has been a stockist of Pom Pom for many years in addition to being a guest editor in 2020, a vendor at Pom Fest in 2017, and of course supplying her yarns for many designs in Pom Pom over the years. And of course, she dyes one of the best yellows in the business.  Can you share the story behind the founding of La Bien Aimée? What inspired the  start of the business?  I have been an entrepreneur for 15 years but have only owned La Bien Aimée for 9 of those ye ..read more

Issue 48, Check Mate has many meanings to us at this time but most importantly, as the last ever edition of Pom Pom Quarterly, it marks the end of a wonderful journey. This knitted and crocheted ode to wovens includes patterns we believe any maker will be proud to create. With two needles or a hook, these designs were inspired by the beauty of weaving and pay a special tribute to this ancient sister craft.

Dear beloved friends of Pom Pom,  It is with great sadness, and yet full hearts, that we must announce that the next issue of Pom Pom Quarterly will be our last. We started Pom Pom in 2012 in our mid-twenties, with £600 and next to no publishing or business experience. From the very first issue, our readers were our biggest champions, and the feeling of having the creative project that we were passionate about be encouraged, cherished, and uplifted by the making community is one of the proudest accomplishments of our lives.  Our team grew as we moved forward, and we have been honoure ..read more

  Pom Pom has always been a celebration of colour in knit and crochet form and this issue is no different. We love colour so much that often we try and get as much of it into each piece as we can, but for this monochrome-themed issue we wanted to see what could be done with fabrics that used more subtle tonal differences within a single hue, or closely related ones. Celadon // Sara Ottosson / Handvärkat Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) To fit head circumference: 50.5-52.5 (53-55, 56-58, 58.5-60.5, 61-63)cm / 20-20¾ (21-21¾ , 22-23, 23-24, 24-25)" Finished brim circumference: 45.5 (48, 51, 53.5, 5 ..read more
