CH 210: Edinburgh Yarn Festival Podcasters and a Lovely Day Out

On today’s podcast I’m continuing my run-up excitement for EYF. The Podcaster Lounge is always a highlight. As a podcaster, it’s really special to be able to chat with some of my listeners face-to-face, and as a podcast fan I’m thrilled to get to meet podcasters I enjoy and admire. I take a look at some new-to-me podcasts and some favourites, chat a bit about the mini market we’ll be having at the CHCH retreat, and share some stories from a special and much-needed day out in London with friends.

Show Sponsors:

Alongside an eclectic yarn range, which includes Hazel Knits, Icelandic Lopi & CoopKnits, we stock a carefully chosen selection of needles and notions. We’ve also recently launched ‘hand dyed by meadowyarn’, our very own in-house, hand-dyed yarn range. Working in our tiny dye studio, nestled in the Suffolk countryside, we are able to indulge our love of colour, producing complex tonal, kettle-dyed shades across a range of weights and bases. With regular updates our collections evolve and grow, inspired by the landscape and people around us.

AYS is a wool boutique specializing in hand dyed yarns and luxury fibres from around the world. You’ll always find a well curated collection of yarns and colors on the shelves and a friendly knowledgeable staff on hand. Some of our favorite brands include Hedgehog Fibres, SweetGeorgia Yarn, Julie Asselin, Shibui Knits and The Fibre Co. You can find A Yarn Story on Walcot Street in Bath or online at www.ayarnstory.co.uk
