Needlebound is an annual publication that archives and amplifies the online fiber arts community through print. Founded by Hayley Mortin (Dazy Chains) in 2024, it exists as a deliberate counter-space to algorithmic curation as a a place where fiber artists control their own narratives, set their own terms, and appear in full complexity rather than flattened into content.
A common thread in the fibre arts community is the shared appreciation for creating something tangible, a piece that can be held and felt in contrast to our screen-dominant lives. Needlebound provides a space where fibre artists can share their stories and perspectives in a place that is not dominated through platform algorithms. It’s name is an homage to the 5th century craft of Nålebinding, which was a precursor to knitting and served as a social catalyst, where artisans gathered to create, share stories, and foster community.
