POM POM 44 | YARN GUIDE

POM POM 44 | Yarn Guide

You never know what the day will bring with spring, so it’s the perfect season for layering!

Pom Pom’s initial inspiration for this issue came from layering in images such as risographs, shadows, and superimposed photos, which got them thinking about printing and how it works.

As a print publication, transferring the words and images they craft so carefully onto paper is part of what they do.

All of the pieces in this issue play with opacity, texture, and colourwork, layering techniques, tones, and transparency - sometimes all at once!

We’ve put together our top yarn picks for this issue, find our suggestions below.

Pom Pom 44 has now sold out. Visit ravelry.com for a digital copy.
