Submission Guidelines

What type of articles are you looking for?
For the Spring Issue we are looking for

• Projects (knitted, crocheted, woven etc.) using handspun yarn, either spindle or wheel spun
• Submissions for the gallery of either spindle spun yarns or completed projects from spindle spun yarn
• Articles on use of spindles in other cultures or how to use a spindle which is indigenous to another culture, i.e. Russian lace spindle or Turkish spindle etc.
• Historical articles
• Other spindle related articles...you propose it, we're probably interested in it!

What do you pay for submissions?
Starting with the Summer 2006 issue, Spindlicity will pay a small honorarium for some types of article and pattern submissions depending on length and type. To find out more, please email with your article or pattern proposal.

How do you select what gets published?
Articles must be well written and well researched. Spindlicity reserves the right to edit any article published in the magazine. Articles are mostly chosen based on how interesting the editor thinks they will be to readers of Spindlicity, how related they are to spindles and hand spindling, and space in the issue.

How do I submit an article?
Email us at with an idea or a finished article.

Do I need to take my own photos?
In most instances, yes. Photos can make or break an article. Although we are not a print magazine, we do want clear, well-lit, interesting photos! Take the best photo you can.
