Show Notes

• The wine we reviewed came from Alder Vineyard in Devon. It's a limited edition sparkling wine - super tasty!
• Kayleigh visited Dartmoor for her summer holiday and spent a couple days discussing prison abolition. In the same part of the country, Carmen went to Boardmasters (a surf and music festival) before jetting off to Atlanta, USA for a business development course.
• Learn Carmen’s superhero name (Kayleigh’s grandfather is responsible for it!)
• Spincycle Yarns Plump has landed in store! SHOP HERE. Some of the patterns we particularly love include:
  • Liebling Sweater by Camilla Vaad, modified into a t-shirt. Photo shown is a project by Margotchien on Ravelry.
  • Double Plump Hat by Maral Mokri
  • Mountain Peaks beanie by Cate Savard
  • Alston by Martin Story
• We talk just a tiny bit about the super special collaboration between our sister brand, Walcot Yarns and @les.garcons coming September 8th!
• Our Rhinebeck sweaters are getting knitted, Kayleigh has finished her Fierce!
• Oh and brand new from our friend Hide & Hammer, Kayleigh snapped up their Leather Belt Bag as soon as it was released and Carmen let a little hint of a new collab with Hide & Hammer out of the bag...
