This episode is handspinning heavy with talk about plying different colors, learning supported spindle spinning and some videos of spinning on my Nano 2. I do have a new cast on so there is some knitting talk. Plus videos from inside the mill where I am processing dyed in the wool Horned Dorset that doesn’t go quite as planned.

This episode is Shetland on Shetland. I take from shearing to skirting fleeces to scouring the wool, handpicking the wool and finally carding. This was the first time in many years that we have let our Shetlands grow a full year of wool so it was fun to take you all on the processing journey with me.

This episode is a whole lot of knitting sweater talk. The Calliope knit along has come to end so we share the finished items, pick winners and talk about the next spin to knit or crochet along we are planning. Basically a lot of fiber among friends talk.

This episode contains a lot of handspinning talk. Prepping cotton top for handspinning and a bit of spinning at my wheel. And here I go learning a new fiber tool, how to spin on a supported spindle. There are of course carding videos from inside the wool mill and a visit to the farm to check in on the Shetland sheep and see how June the pony is doing as spring comes on.

I also have videos from inside the mill as I work on the Romney wool, alpaca, and silk blend Halsey. I also share what I am reading including the book I just finished.
