Dear Spinning Circle,

In my mind this month I had rendered this and posted it, looking forward to everyone in the community 'meeting' Jenny and hearing her story, then wondering why those who have EARLY ACCESS weren't saying anything like they normally do ... Go check Patreon ... Oh. I forgot to actually schedule the post! But here it is now!

Join me in welcoming this month to Wool n' Spinning Radio, Jenny Solvaki, which is a very active member of the Slack community. You can also find her cheerleading others in the Ravelry group. We chat about her journey and how she found spinning, then we really get into her growing flax experiments from last summer. I hope you enjoy our conversation! Jenny is a magnetic personally - warm and friendly. Don't hestitate to reach out to her in the community to ask more questions.

As with all of our guests, if you would like to hear more from them, please let me know so that I can invite them back!

Thank you again to Jenny for coming onto the show!

Dear Spinning Circle,

I can't believe we are here already, again! Again! Another year and another Breed & Colour Study! This one is really exciting - it will last ALL YEAR. We will be studying Radnor and the colours are as you see them below! Super exciting.

Thank you once again to Katrina for dyeing, organizing and working so incredibly hard to make these happen for us. I know we've talked about how much work goes into the back-end of these studies, but this is another opportunity for us to just remind ourselves of the effort and work. Let's take a moment to say a special thank you to Katrina! 

I hope you enjoy our conversation about the study this time round, our reasons for making just the one for the year and more!

Happy Spinning & Happiest of New Years to you and yours!

Warmly,

Rachel

In answer to some questions she'd fielded on her YouTube channel, she made a great video about support spindling that many within our community have watched and found incredibly helpful! It can be found here if you haven't seen it (highly recommended!).

Dear Spinning Circle,

This month, we are chatting with Katrina of Crafty Jaks Boutique - our colour creator and dyer behind our bi-annual Breed & Colour Studies. As many of you know, we chat about the studies at the beginning and end to ground the colours, breed and more. It's good to connect with Katrina, hear her story about the study since her unique perspective is unlike ours in the community and hear about the process!

Thank you to those who participated in the study this time round, regardless of whether you ordered or not - it is wonderful to see these studies grow!

Information for our next study on carded fibre in coming in early July 2021. Please stay tuned!

Until next time,

Rachel & Katrina
