The Annual (issue four)

The Annual (issue four) is an opportunity to take a minute for a bit of slow crafting, celebrating some beautiful outdoor spaces in this ‘Cottage Garden’ themed issue.

All the keen gardeners and nature lovers at the John Arbon mill, try to make the most of the fresh spring mornings and lazy summer days, either in our own little gardens, or visiting some of the spectacular ones scattered around the abundant Devon countryside. They chose to focus on all things horticultural in this issue – whether you are of the romantic cottage garden ‘picnic blanket and a book’ persuasion or the ‘roll your sleeves up and get your hands dirty’ school of thought.

This issue is packed to the brim with even more patterns than ever before (a whopping 7!), as well as inspiring articles, tutorials, puzzles and interviews, including a natural dyeing tutorial from the talented botanical hand dyer, Alice, of Woolmatters and an interview with epic designer, Dee Hardwicke. There is something for everyone. So grab your copy, head to your favourite nook outside, and take a little time to flip through The Annual, issue four.
