👏👏Peep that OYOO feature in another INCREDIBLE issue from the environmental and sustainable textile magazine based right here in the Rust Belt, Clearline Magazine ! We are so lucky to have this publication in our backyard, at a time where it feels more important than ever to put a spotlight on slow, hand-made, expressive textiles.

In addition to many drool-worthy photos and interviews, Issue 006 features our One Year, One Outfit. It’s a project we created during COVID, and man has it stuck around. ✨

Participants have about a year to make an outfit with materials from our place, the Rust Belt, from scratch. This issue explores the project through an interview with us and digs into one of the specific outfits from Cohort 3 (2024-25). The spread has interviews with the artists Sally , Melanie McClintock , and Coyote Run Fiberworks, and their outfit sketches, beautiful photos of fiber animals, and the piece itself. You’ll have to get a copy to see more, including so many other talented slow fashion artists.

We just launched Cohort Four a few months ago and will keep you posted with updates from the field (sometimes literally), and we’re so stoked that the editor-in-chef of Clearline Magazine, Sarah Sparkman, was convinced to join us for this cohort!
