  • A Treasure Trove of Information

    This show hits all my requirements for a superb podcast. Saskia has a lovely tone to her voice, and her presentation is flawless. Her guest list is amazing, from big names in the knitting industry to women like me, who just love fiber, and want a slower, cleaner, simpler life. I appreciate the wide range of topics that she covers, as all are very interesting. This is now my favorite fiber podcast, and I eagerly wait for new episodes!

  • So encouraging!

    I love listening to assailant and her interviews with others. As a small business owner myself, it’s very encouraging to listen to other entrepreneurs success stories. This podcast doesn’t make me feel rushed; it assures me that we can all grow, slowly but steadily.

    Thank you, Saskia! Wish you luck in your business!

  • Perfect for yarn lovers with a conscious and desire to live more ethically.

    I absolutely love this podcast! Saskia has a beautiful voice and I love both her solo shows and when she has a guest. The topics covered are so varied and fantastic to listen to while I create wool rugs ( for wall art and not for wiping your feet on haha) As a result of listening to her podcast I have come off all social media apart from LinkedIn. It was taking up too much time and affecting my creativity. Soooo, tomorrow I’m going to sign up to Saskia’s Ja Wol community. Thanks for all that you... more

  • So fascinating and fun!

    Hi, I just listened to season two, episodes 37 and 38. I’m going to circle back and listen to ALL the episodes now! You asked where/how we’re listening to you (sorry, this is the only way I know how to leave that info). I listen while I’m knitting (duh!) and while I’m taking my daily walk in my small city, Orillia Ontario. (I was tickled to hear you mention that another listener is in Wasaga Beach, Ontario…we’re in the same general region!) Keep up the great work 😀
