Wool, Needles, Hands: a Knitting Podcast-Episode 13

NOTE: I make a mistake in the portion of the podcast where I mention microns: the lower the micron count, the softer the fiber, the higher the count the more course the fiber. Whoops! NOTE: Fiber for the People shop update is Tuesday, July 18th as opposed to Monday, July 17th as mentioned in the podcast. Episode 13: An Unpopular Opinion In this episode of Wool, Needles, Hands: a Knitting Podcast, we explore the micron and how it is used in measuring fiber diameter 🤓, I share my preferred vlogging camera, we chat about my Exploration Station by Stephen West as well as my knit for #thegreatunravel2017 (plus I give a deadline extension), and I share a tip from the headquarters of Fiber for the People. Come sit awhile!

It’s good practice to line the surface of your dyeing space with paper of some sort. On top of that, it’s smart to keep a spray bottle of water handy so you can spray down any dry dye powder that falls on the work surface to prevent it from flying up into other projects or just simply making a mess that’s more difficult to contain. ~In the background…~ (Things I listen to or watch while I dye or knit or cook or...anything) The Living Room-Radiolab (audio podcast) Leon Bridges (musician) Twin Peaks on Netflix ~Knitting Confessional Call to Action~ If you have the gumption, send in a video of yourself confessing to you one big knitting sin. (It doesn’t need to be high-production value. Film it with your phone, in the supermarket for Pete’s sake. ) I will share them at the end of various podcast episodes. I will still be collecting LYS footage as well. Thank you for playing along! Music by bensound.com
