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:

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.
