Warm, woolly, and wonderful
Louise has the most wonderful voice, and it has an innate warmth and cheer that welcomes you into the world of Knit British. The aim of the podcast is to inform - and involve - the podcast listener about British sheep breeds (rare and otherwise) and their wool characteristics through a wool exploration undertaken by listeners, and feedback provided to Louise. There is something very reassuring to listening to others' experiences of the hand-squish-grab test and the multiple wash and block accounts. Not (yet) quite up there with the Shipping Forecast, but perhaps a minor woolly version. The podcast has a Ravelry community associated with it, where extended conversations about natural shades, 'woolly wool', and swatches carry on with good humour and good cheer. We need more podcasts like this. Thought-provoking, intelligent, and never patronising, KnitBritish will change the way you think about provenance, yarn, and the what it is to knit local.Read full review »

I love listening to Louise. I admire her passion for knitting with British yarn. The interviews with tutors, organisers of yarn events, dyers etc are great. Louise is a very good enabler!

This podcast is wonderful! Louise is welcoming, and really knows her yarn. She also has a way of describing things that brings them to life. Her voice is lovely and relaxing—no screaming, screeching, or unchecked giggling (though there is laughter and humor). Really professional, intimate and...Read full review »
