    This podcast feels like sitting down with old friends for a cozy chat about all things yarn. Whether they're chatting about knitting techniques or this week's wine choice, this podcast keeps me inspired and connected to the craft I love. I'm going to make sure I visit the shop soon!

  • Perfect if you like wine, chat and yarn!

    Big fan of this podcast, we have a lot of knitting podcast options on YouTube but much fewer available to listen to. I listen and afterwards jump through the YouTube video to see the yarn which works well for me since I like the wine and miscellaneous chat!! Hope you keep this going 👍🏻

  • Not really sure why……

    The ‘podcast’ is an upload of the audio of a YouTube vlog in which they talk about items they’re looking at which doesn’t translate to audio. Maybe they address this in later episodes but I can’t be bothered to wade through the know it all/privileged attitude to find out.
