Shopcast 237: If I Could Dress Head to Toe in Wool, I Would!

By Caitlin Johnson

 

On this episode, Corinne and Maggie are all decked out in wool! From last week's Harris Tweed bags restock, to the Studio Donegal blankets coming next week, to the fabulous WIPs and FOs, there's lots of wool here as usual! Kelsey, Emma, and Yoga with Kim all have lovely segments. We also have a segment from Peg and Amanda from Junction Fiber Mill who are gearing up for their Millapalooza weekend!
