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. Submission of an item does not guarantee a review in the magazine; our choice of items featured depends on a number of criteria including how well the item does what it's supposed to do, aesthetics and construction quality.

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

• Sample
• No commercial value
• Not for resale
• $5.00 value [a value of $0 is not acceptable to Canada Customs]

This is essential in order to avoid duties and/or taxes being applied to your package in error. We thank you for your cooperation.

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 mostly positive 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.

To submit items for review by Knittyspin, including fiber, books, spinning tools and other items of interest to spinners, please contact Knittyspin editor, Jillian Moreno.

Knittyspin’s Fiber Fiestas are held quarterly. We invite a group of spinners with varying levels of experience, and each samples your fiber. All reviewers are asked to spin, set, and knit with the fiber, putting it through the same process an average spinner would.

In order to have your fiber included in an upcoming yarn Fiber Fiesta, please send at least 8 oz of each type of fiber you’d like considered for review. Multiple submissions [more than one type of fiber, blend or put up] are welcome! Please include a short "bio" of your fiber and/or your business - this is especially important for unusual blends and small-batch fiber companies; where your fiber can be purchased and the suggested retail price for your fiber.

Samples will not be returned. The editor will contact you to let you know in which issue your review will appear, so you can make sure to have stock on hand.
