Shopcast 196: We Like Big Boxes (Of Yarn!)

By Caitlin Johnson

 

On this episode, join us for lots of knitting and yarn chat! Corinne and Maggie have their Shawl KAL projects to show, plus a few other WIPs. Caitlin has 3 new cast-ons (2 sweaters and a shawl)! There's lots of good stuff in the shop to talk about - new JaggerSpun Woolful BFL yarn, a fabulous restock of Birlinn Yarn, and of course, a first peek and almost complete tour of our Spring Taster Box! Finally, Rachel on Fair Isle has a sweet new assistant that you'll want to meet.

  • I so enjoyed Rachel’s tour of her lambing barn—brought back memories of our lambing days. Just warmed my heart!
