Dear Spinning Circle,

Welcome All. In this epsiode, we pick up where we left off last week with an homage to all these projects I’ve been working my through! First, I have finished the MellyKnits Advent plying. Second, we will get into the weeds about sweater knitting and handspun yarn substition, a topic we come back to again and again. Last, I wanted to share what’s on my loom – it’s been a while since I gave a good weaving update.

If you’re curious about joining the Wool n’ Spinning community and wondering where to begin, I’ve written a simple Start Here guide.
