Dear Spinning Circle,
After last episode and all the changes we are making for the fall, thank you for being here today for a more conventional episode! Like Rebecca on The Wool Circle last week with her Mega Sock Project completion, I have a marathon project to share with you as well.

As talked about in last episode, there are many changes coming in the Fall. Here’s the quick n’ dirty:
- Colour Mania vlogs will focus on all things colour – blending, dyeing and carding colour, planning projects and exploring how decisions around colour affect our finished yarns, Dionne will host this monthly vlog for patrons of the community beginning September.
- Spinning Purls will shift to a slightly different format: Behind the scenes, Rachel has been working on some larger workshops that will be uploaded as individual Collections on Patreon for download. These will also be dripped out slowly for those supporting at The Silk Circle level on Patreon. Available as a one-time download or supporting monthly allows Rachel to continue creating this content! Note: Previous Spinning Purls content will remain accessible & unchanged at lower patronage tiers.
- Beginning November 2025, Dionne will host a monthly ZOOM group (Colour Maniacs Zoom). This will be available for patrons in the Spinning Staples ZOOM group tier, as well as the Studious Spinner tier, on Patreon. Space will be limited.
Spindle Spun Season is well underway! Check out the #spindle channel on Slack (for Patrons) to share, upload and be inspired by all the spindles. Check out the Ravelry group here, as well.

Check out Wool n’ Spinning Radio: Dionne, Rebecca and Rachel attempted to sow dissent and debate the merits of calling those handspun yarns that are not conventionally spun as ‘novelty’, ‘art’ or ‘textured’. Episode here.

There is a lot going on in the community at the moment – please take a moment to read over the Ketchup & Pickles (Housekeeping) post for this month. Please leave comments with questions so that I can help you navigate! Remember that the On-boarding call this month will be Saturday, September 20 @ 10am PDT.
