CH: 252: Two Secret Shawls for EYF and Two Incredible Indie Dyers

Today on the podcast I have some hints to share about two very special shawl projects I've been working on, which will both be launched at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival later this month. I also have a little bit of recent stash acquisition to talk about, including skeins of scrumptious sock yarn from two amazing, new-to-me indie dyers. Finally, I have some very good advice I came across this week, which might help anyone suffering from Stash Anxiety... 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 specialising 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 favourite brands include Hedgehog Fibres, SweetGeorgia Yarn, Julie Asselin, Shibui Knits and The Fibre Co.
