Thanks for another great show. I am sorry to hear about such a stable to the fiber community closing. :(

Thanks for a great episode. Although I have been to Artfibers a few times, I never "got" it. That is, I did think their yarns were pretty but because they were so unique, I never really knew which would be good for which projects. I probably should have given them a try...

I only visited Artfibers once, last fall, and really liked the space. Of course, I love their yarn! Thanks for your tribute to their major contribution to our fiber world. It's so soothing to hear knitters talk about fibers they love.

Hello! I love your shows and listen regularly. I was wondering if you ever have been to Urban Fauna Studio. I'm from Pennsylvania but they carry my yarn there, it's located in San Francisco and should have an impressive stand at Stitches West! http://urbanfaunastudio.com I hope you ladies can visit there, the owners are really inspiring, organized and helpful. I work with Jamie mostly. Well, enjoy your gobs of cowl sweater yarn! Keep it knitty, see you round like a ball of yarn!
