Show Notes

Check out the gorgeous new Roots: Cardinal! We took our time getting the recipe right on this one, and we think it was absolutely worth the wait. Speaking of waiting… Amanda’s still here waiting for baby to come! But that won’t stop her from bringing you on a mill tour and sharing another great book recommendation.

The weather’s getting cooler, but we thought we’d brighten things up with Hunting Season Orange and Pink. Both of these fluorescent fibers are sure to get you seen from afar, whether you’re out in the woods, or at the fiber festivals!
