pompom quarterly 46 – autumn 2023

Message from the publisher.

Collaborating with creatives we admire is one of the great joys of Pom Pom making. Candice English of The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers has long been an inspiration to us, both as a dyer and as an advocate for Native women. We are thrilled to welcome Candice as a guest editor for this issue.

Candice has brought a new perspective to these pages, along with her signature aesthetic, drawing on both her native roots and life in the American West. We are so grateful to her for sharing herself, her work and her family with us. It is an honor to be entrusted with the stories and creativity of each contributor to this fall issue.

The patterns in this issue are a representation of hard and soft duality in the American West. The hard work embedded in the people of Montana is a result of the softness found in the spirit of native homelands. You’ll find classic designs that can be worn in utilitarian ways, but can also be spruced up a bit for social outings.

Featuring designs by: Allison Lutes // Esti Juango // Elena Solier Jansà // Natalie Bullock // Sandy Jones // Lindsey Fowler // Lena Zharichenko // Lee Ann Yazzie // Imke von Nathusius // Tin Can Knits
