“Invaluable podcast with heart. Louise Scollay advocates for use of local yarns, as fiercely as she advocates for makers, producers, knitters and crocheters and for the act of making. Focus on local wool, yes, but also for something deeper than that- for connections between us all. Louise reminds...”Read full review »

“It is a very inspiring podcast, for people who knit, spin or crochet, and for people who want more British (or local) wool in their life. As soon as a new one comes out, I will be listening to it, slightly jealous about all the woolly lovelyness from Britain, while I am knitting my own lovely stuff.”
