  • My favorite fiber arts podcast!

    As a spinner for decades, I’ve been craving a podcast to listen to all about my favorite craft. I learn so much during every episode and the interviews are fabulous. I’ve been a long time watcher of Rachel’s YouTube videos, but this experience is such an amazing added enriching experience with so much goodness in each recording. I’m so grateful to learn so much from both Rachel and Rebecca and all of their amazing guests!

  • Seems like a cute little talk show for crafters. Covers everything from spinning yarn to decorating cakes. Not sure what book they are using (hopefully its on audible) but i like the idea of a year of color. Now I've started making a color wheel quilt.
