Why we love Gist
Gist Yarn was founded in 2017 and is a US-based company providing quality weaving materials, patterns, and connection to the craft of weaving.
Gist partners with select farmers, spinning mills, dye houses, and winders to produce 100% natural fiber yarns designed especially for weaving. In addition to designing and publishing their own patterns, they showcase new weaving talent and pay a fair wage to both up-and-coming and established designers through their Open Call program.
