    This episode is Shetland on Shetland. I take from shearing to skirting fleeces to scouring the wool, handpicking the wool and finally carding. This was the first time in many years that we have let our Shetlands grow a full year of wool so it was fun to take you all on the processing journey with me.

    This episode is a whole lot of knitting sweater talk. The Calliope knit along has come to end so we share the finished items, pick winners and talk about the next spin to knit or crochet along we are planning. Basically a lot of fiber among friends talk.
