KOEL POSTCARDS
From The Farm.
When the forecaster talks, the fiber world listens. Wool is having a moment. The sheep knew first.
Raw color.
There is a version of this trend that starts with Pantone declaring white the color of the year and ends with everyone nodding politely.
Re-cycle.
Walk past the finished objects. Go straight for the fiber content labels.
Beads & Glitter.
The method is older than it looks. String your beads onto the yarn before you cast on, warp your loom, or make your first chain.
Art Yarn.
Art yarn is handspun yarn that has no interest in being uniform. Thick and thin.
The local yarn shop.
The local yarn shop is a particular kind of place. Classes on Tuesday evenings.
Looking at machines.
They are showing up everywhere. On studio worktables, in maker videos, at fiber festivals next to spinning wheels and blocking mats.
Fringe
According to Tagwalk, fringe surged 93 percent across New York Fashion Week for spring/summer 2026.
