Episode 4

Listen to Episode 4



In this Episode, we discuss a topic close to our hearts, the cost of Yarn. We know there are costs involved, but does it really cost $20.00 or more for fibers that come from our own comuunities? As we dive into this topic, we learn about the cost of running a shop, and through an interview with Linda Singley of Bearlin Acres, a small farm in rural Pennsylvania, about the costs involved for the farmer as well. There are more than you might think. I hope this podcast will give you a greater appreciation for the amount of work that goes into making and selling the fibers you love so much!!!

Episode 3

Listen to Episode 3

In this episode we talk about TNNA, The National Needle Arts Show. We discuss Jill and Susan's experiences and find out what is hot for spring!

I had an opportunity to interview Victor of Kraemer Yarns in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. He tells us the history behind this family business, as well as the inner workings of their yarn mill. It is interesting and has left me ready to drive in to see it for myself.

If you have any questions or comments, leave us a message and we will get back to you.
