Shopcast 164: Interview with Uradale Yarns and Colorwork with Emma

By Maggie Nichols

On this episode Ronnie of Uradale Yarns on Shetland shares his thoughtful approach to farming native Shetland cattle and sheep. His love of the land and common sense approach to working with nature is refreshing, and his lilting Shetland accent is a joy to listen to. Also in this episode we have a visit from Emma Barnaby of Tiny Desk Knits podcast. Emma is a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for colorwork knitting so it's always a treat to have her on the Shopcast. Enjoy!
