Planet Earth Fiber was selected as one of the prod­ucts fea­tured in the lastest Book by Marinda Stew­art called ‘Punch­nee­dle: The Com­plete Guide’.

Punch­nee­dle is a type of embrodery where the fab­ric is stretched over a hoop and then a spe­cial nee­dle is used to punch the fiber through the fab­ric, cre­at­ing loops.  The fin­ished results can resem­ble minia­ture hooked rugs but the pieces cre­ated are gen­er­ally quite small.The book cov­ers the tools and mat­te­ri­als requred.  Each tech­nique is illus­trated with a small sam­ple and instruc­tions so that you can include it in your own project.

Knit! has designed the “Red in Rome” sweater . The pat­tern, avail­able from knit!  calls for a com­bi­na­tion of Beaded Plie and Plie yarns.   As described by Knit!:

 It is a super‐simple first project pat­tern! The bot­tom por­tion is made with using a silk yarn “dou­ble” so it knits fast. The top por­tion is made with the beaded ver­sion of the yarn. No increases or decreases, just straight knit­ting and then sew the pieces together.  You can do it!
