The Mulberry Digest first appeared as a one-off publication in March 2010, a highly whimsical zine by Su Mwamba exploring the mythology surrounding a world invented to accompany the author's mail art and faux postage. The Mulberry Digest provides an introduction to the lore of Tangledom, dreams, localised mythology, and the TangleFolks' predisposition for reading, writing, arts and crafts. The Dreamtime issue also features 2 cross stitch charts, and a mulberry jam recipe which was reprinted in the November 2010 issue of Craft Leftovers Monthly by Kristin Roach.
4 additional (shorter) issues of the Mulberry Digest were released from 2010-2011 to members of the TangleClub. Each of these later issues featured a single story about or project from life in Tangledom.
The first issues of the Mulberry Digest were printed on mulberry paper. The Solstice issue tells the story of Tangledom's Lokta Region. Following publication of The Solstice issue, all new issues and reprints of older issues were printed on lokta paper.
