    Meaghan of Bramble Ridge Hand Dyed Yarns

    Rebecca and Rachel sat down with Meaghan of Bramble Ridge Hand Dyed Yarns, based out of Mission, British Columbia, Canada. Meaghan has been dyeing up a storm in the background, creating our next iteration of Breed Blends and Colour Study fibre for us to spin & create with!

    The Whys & Hows of Big Projects

    This month, Rebecca sat Rachel down to quiz her about working through longer projects. It came from a discussion back in August at Knit City Calgary 2024. For context, let's set the table: Back in 2019, you were struggling with the idea of how to justify the time and effort to put into a really big spinning project to weave an heirloom piece. Do you remember that feeling?

    Becca has been working on her Spinning Certificate of Achievement, from the Association of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers, throughout the past four years.

    Preparing to Travel

    This month, on Wool n' Spinning Radio, Rebecca answered a bunch of questions from myself about preparing for a long trip. As many of you know, Rebecca and her family will be on Sabbatical from their work in Nunavut for 5 months. I wanted to understand more about how she prepared for the making she would be doing while away!
