From the editor

Summer is when the mill on our river is loudest, because the top-floor windows are open and you can hear Nell’s loom from the bridge. This issue began there and followed the thread outwards: to the farms where the wool comes from, the dye pots on the riverbank, a kitchen table where a grandmother taught a teenager to darn.

Thread holds things together quietly. So, we’ve found, does a magazine. Thank you for being part of it.

    p. 18: The last loom in Wrenford

    The mill on the river once ran forty looms. Now there is one, and the weaver who works it has a waiting list two years long.
