Follow natural fiber from the farm to your knitting needles, meeting shepherds, designers, mills, and makers along the way. With up-close encounters, expert knitting tips, and original patterns, Farm & Fiber Knits grounds you in the authentic fiber life.
Editor — Central Indiana
For nearly as long as Kate has been handspinning and knitting, she has been helping others find their paths as makers and forge deeper connections with the landscapes that produce the wool and cotton, flax, and silk that they hold in their hands.
While Kate has published a book, many articles and patterns, and several instructional videos, she especially loves celebrating the work of other fiber folks.
The editor of Spin Off from 2018–2025, she directs spinning events in addition to editing Farm & Fiber Knits. If you can’t find Kate, she’s most likely in the barn having a chat with her beloved Border Leicester sheep.
Contributing Editor — Southeastern North Carolina
Pamela loves pitching in on any and every odd job that comes up on the Farm & Fiber Knits team. She first learned how to knit from a friend in 2001, and since then she’s only gone on one road trip without at least one knitting project!
In addition to knitting, Pamela also spins and weaves and is always up for a side quest like chair caning, bookbinding, or papermaking.
Associate Editor — Fort Collins, Colorado
Debbie learned to knit from a co-worker, but crafting is in her blood: her grandmothers made lace and crocheted afghans, and her mother sewed clothes for the family.
She has degrees in graphic design, which have given her an eye for color and layout, and a certificate in pastry arts, which makes her dream of working in a pâtisserie.
A Colorado native, she loves 80s music and movies, walks on the beach, anything cherry, and alpacas (not necessarily in that order).
Editorial Assistant — Colorado
Katrina first learned to knit with her Grama as a child, and being a lefty didn’t have an adverse effect.
Today, she teaches a variety of classes at her local yarn shop, The Loopy Ewe. Most evenings are spent getting in a few rows on sweaters or socks for her two daughters while cheering on the Boston Red Sox.
Editorial Director — Fort Collins, Colorado
Anne learned to knit as a young editor in New York City and has managed to make yarn part of her life ever since.
As a former editor of Spin Off, she is devoted to natural fibers; as a founder of Long Thread Media, she believes in the power of string and stories.
Anne has a particular affection for handknitting socks, to the delight of her husband (who occasionally gets a pair) and their two cats (who chase the yarn every chance they get).
Director of Digital Content & Strategy — Fort Collins, Colorado
Tiffany is a lifelong creative with a passion for all things fiber arts. Since starting in media over 15 years ago, she has never looked back, bringing her expertise in content, digital strategy, and product development to everything she does at Long Thread Media.
Tiffany believes creativity enriches lives and thrives on inspiring and empowering others through craft. She lives in Colorado with her husband, and when she’s not picking up a new craft, you can find her hiking in the Rocky Mountains.
Project Editor — Memphis, Tennessee
Angela wrangles a crew of technical editors and reviews all project instructions to make sure they are complete, correct, and understandable, so readers can enjoy creating beautiful items.
As a complete fiber arts nerd, she’s a perfect fit for working with the wide variety of textile techniques that appear in Long Thread’s communities.
When she occasionally comes across a craft she doesn’t know yet, she’s happy to grab some materials and learn something new.
When not working with fiber, she turns her attention to patterns and strings of a different sort, as a swing and contra dancer, contra dance caller, and amateur musician.
Managing Editor — Loveland, Colorado
Lavon has dabbled in various crafts her whole life and has spent the bulk of her career working in publishing.
She loves that her role with Long Thread Media allows her to combine these two passions. When not managing LTM content, Lavon enjoys reading, quilting, walking, and spending time with her young adult children.
