Yarningham Festival is Birmingham's celebrated black led Indie Yarn Fest run by Sara, Helen, Lilith and Venetia aka Stitches & Hos.
A one off magazine to celebrate Yarningham Online 2021. Yarn + Stitch magazine is the physical aspect of this year’s online festival, in the way that the show brochure is a memento of the customers' visit to the festival.
With Yarn + Stitch magazine, the Yarningham Team wanted to create something permanent, a tangible, physical item, beautifully designed with fantastic content and exclusive patterns. They chose the theme of friendship and connections for the magazine, which is really the basis of Yarningham. Everything within the magazine goes back to the aims and values set out when creating their festival.
