THEPLOTTED PATH

For people who write things down and take the long way around.

The idea

Slow things, made once, properly

Everything here is built to be used up slowly and kept afterwards. The journals are sewn so they will still open flat in ten years. The itineraries name the stretch where nothing is open, because that is the part you need to know about. The needles are walnut, which warms to the hand and will outlast whoever learns on them.

Small runs, made in the southern Appalachians where we can, shipped in paper. If something arrives wrong, write and we will put it right.
