Harvest: Submissions Call for Fall 2026

As the days shorten and sweater weather arrives here in the northern hemisphere, we are beginning to plan great Farm & Fiber Knits content for Fall 2026. Our print/digital issues are packed with articles and patterns that connect readers with the landscapes, animals, and people who create our fiber from the ground up.

Harvest: Fall 2026

We’re looking for saturated colors and neutrals, garments that carry you from sunny fall afternoons to crisp winter mornings, and staples you’ll reach for every day. Imagine the cardigan you’ll wear for apple picking, the scarf for cool morning walks, the mitts to hold a cup of steaming cocoa, and the wrap you always wear when headed out the door.

Our feature articles often have companion projects. The Fall 2025 issue included an article about the history of Peace Fleece yarns, and Tressa Weidenaar’s Rancher’s Cowl put Peace Fleeces’s yarn to perfect use. Photo by Gale Zucker

Pattern Collection

We love thoughtfully designed knitwear that makers will reach for again and again. Our projects cover a wide range of skill levels: carefully crafted basics, classics with modern finishes, and more challenging projects that highlight the beauty of natural fibers. We strive to include interesting techniques for knitters, and our touchstone is always natural fibers.

We want to hear your ideas for our Fall issue! Accessories, garments graded for a wide range of body types, and cozy knits for the home are all welcome! Check out our library for our previously published designs, and see our fall vibe Pinterest board for color and mood inspiration.
