Each issue, Knitty reviews items of interest to knitters, including spinning fiber and tools, yarn, accessories, kits and books. You can see a few examples of our review pages here and here. We read the books and test the products that are sent to us. For that reason, press releases sent to the Knitty e-mail address will not result in a review. We need to see and touch and test each item before we can write about it.

To have your knitting-related product or book reviewed in a future issue of Knitty, send a sample to:

Knitty's Yarn Roundtables are held monthly. They are casual, fun events, where knitters will have the opportunity to knit with yarns they may not have touched or even seen before. Comments are collected, and the most liked, most interesting or most surprising yarns will be featured in Knitty. These events are popular and the 30 available spots per evening are often filled in less than 24 hours.

In order to have your yarn[s] included in an upcoming yarn tasting event, please send at least three skeins of one type of yarn, each in a different colorway. Multiple submissions [more than one type of yarn] are welcome! We obviously don't expect -- or want -- you to send your whole line, but the newest, most interesting, or your hidden gems? That's what we'd love to see. Please include the suggested retail price for each yarn.

Yarns that do not receive good feedback will not be reviewed in Knitty, in accordance with our review policy. We will contact you privately with details should there be concerns about something you've sent to us.
