A Treasure Trove of Information
This show hits all my requirements for a superb podcast. Saskia has a lovely tone to her voice, and her presentation is flawless. Her guest list is amazing, from big names in the knitting industry to women like me, who just love fiber, and want a slower, cleaner, simpler life. I appreciate the wide range of topics that she covers, as all are very interesting. This is now my favorite fiber podcast, and I eagerly wait for new episodes!

Thank you, Saskia! Wish you luck in your business!
