Shopcast #275: The Lopi Trunk Show & A New Yarn Joins Us

Watch this episode of the Shopcast on YouTube!

Corinne is back this week! Join Corinne and Maggie as they talk about their current WIPS, the Lopi Trunk Show that just arrived at TWT, and the newest yarn in our line up Sandnesgarn. We welcomed guest contributor Karen who kindly shared her tour experience at the Istex Lopi Mill in Iceland, checked in with Rachel on Fair Isle and her adorable flock of sheep as they leap into spring, and we finish the episode with Kim and some relaxing Yoga for Knitters.
