KOEL Magazine celebrates yarn crafting for modern interiors. KOEL brings everything there’s to know about crochet, knitting, weaving, latch hooking, punch needling, needlework and macramé – new tools, hand dyed yarns, home decor trends, supplies and patterns.

It’s time to start packing and relax into a long and well-deserved break from it all.

KOEL’s got you covered - whether you’re dozing off on sandy beaches or zipping afternoon cocktails in your favorite watering hole, we’ve made sure that you have the latest modern yarn crafting trends at your fingertips.

Reliving our childhood days, we bring you exciting kids’ room projects. Get into a crafty mood with crochet and knitted stuffed animals designed by Pica Pau and Claire Garland. Color landscape wall weaves by Soft Century’s Katherine Entis and embroidered wall art from Adriana Torres of Miga de Pan will transform the look and feel of any kids’ room - great to work on with your little ones during vacation downtime.

We fell in love with mint green and pastel pink, and embarked on a passionate journey - redecorate your home for the sunny season with crochet cushions and throws in these daringly sweet colors. Anique van Kooij of Klein Maar Fijn shows us how.Punch needling, tufting and latch hooking are fierce rivals but are one and the same family. For this Issue we chose punch needling and tufting. Why? Because we could work with the best in the industry - meet Rose Pearlman and Loomshakalaka’s Emily Primbs.
