Episode 31 - Hand-Combing Cotswold Fleece [A Knitting and Handspinning Podcast]

* Visit my online yarn and tea shop, Fleece & Field, at the link below! * Hello, friends! It’s so great to be back to recording following last week’s unexpected surgery for my cat, Vincent. He’s doing really well and a lot of the anxiety has passed, so here I am again to share with you. :) This week’s episode features a bit of news, tea time, and a tutorial where I show you how I like to comb wool for spinning. I also talk about the shawl I’m knitting for the first-ever Crafting with Compassion knitalong (come over to Instagram to join in!) and the episode closes with a couple videos I’m finding really helpful, and two special garden visitors who’ve taken a special liking to my parsley plant. Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy the episode! * Want to skip around the episode? No worries! Check out the time stamps below to find exactly what you’re looking for.
