    Love the podcast. Very informative, although I disagree with a couple of things you said. Romeldale and CVM do indeed share the same genetics, as you mentioned, however Romeldale is solid white and CVM is colored. Also, it has been my experience that the staple length for either fleece is identical. I’ve gotten my fleeces from Marie Minnich in Pennsylvania for years. She has the largest Romeldale flock in the country.Continued success with your podcast. I look forward to several future installme... more

  • Just What I Need!

    Love this podcast! Very informative and extremely interesting. I’m new to spinning, and really appreciate the knowledge that is brought to each episode, but on a level that interests, rather than intimidates.

  • She's a delight

    I enjoy listening to this podcast even though I've been spinning and knitting for many years. She takes the time to educate us in things that she's learning about her spinning voyage and is not afraid to say "oops" on occasion.

    Thank you.

  • Thanks!

    I'm still early in the episodes, but I'm enjoying this podcast very much. The tone is so relaxed, and I've never had an audio issue. I feel a little out of my league since I don't have much desire for the processing end of things (husband with a wool allergy), but the information is presented in an easy to follow way. The music is always interesting. I LOVE the spin-in episodes!

  • One of my favorite podcasts

    I don't know how she knows, but Yarnspinner always addresses a topic that I am struggling with at the time her podcast comes out! I learn so much from her every single time. Her delivery is excellent, to-the-point and she has a wonderful voice.

  • If you like fiber information, this is a pod cast for you

    I am a new spinner and found this podcast and am so enjoying it. I do have to confess that I fast forward her music, not that it is bad, but I have too little time to listen to all my favorite podcasts and want to jump in to all the wonderful info on types of fiber, types of spinning and everything fiber related. This is by far the most informative podcast on spinning by far!

  • Best Fibery Goodness

    If your looking for a podcast that is truly a spinning fibery podcast, this is the one for you. Her reviews of different fibers and experience with them is an inspiration to try new fibers. The recording quality is good and her voice is very pleasant to listen to. I love the way the podcast ends with a "spin in" and a chat. Highly recommend this podcast to all hand-spinners and lovers of fiber.

  • How can I be the first?

    This podcast is FAR too good to have escaped review thus far. Relaxing, educational, chock full of fantastic tips for fiber prep, spinning, carding, and so much more. Plus you get the virtual spin-ins complete with pleasantly humming spinning wheel in the background while you get to just kick back and listen to the "tales" portion. So peaceful. Fun excursions to dyeing workshops, interviews, glimpses into the podcaster's life and work history and family. Very enjoyable!
