    Episode #4: Keeping it Local at Mad River Fiber Mill; Conversations with Long-Time Fiber Artist and Mill Owner Susan Snider

    Join us for a cherished conversation with Susan Snider, mastermind and creator of the Mad River Fiber Mill and Arts Studio located in the picturesque town of Waitsfield, Vermont. We discuss her devotion to serving local wool growers and artisans by offering custom processing in addition to purchasing local wool for her breed-specific Vermont-sourced yarns. Susan is turning farm wool into gold including her new line of 100% locally sourced and milled sock yarn, her very own Crepe Suzette!  I am over the moon for what this mill has to offer local wool growers!  Want to know how to get the best clip in your flock? How to skirt your fleece to perfection? Looking to create your own unique yarn, but don't know where to start? This episode is a MUST-listen for any fiber artist looking to up their game in locally-sourced fiber and yarn creation.  Happy listening!
