  • Episode 89: Yarns and Tales: Well, Plarn It!

    Howdy, y’all!  Welcome to Yarns and Tales!!  Today is all about something called “plarn.”  That’s a smushed word made up of “plastic” and “yarn”.  Yep, plastic.  As in plastic shopping bags and upcycling them into a knitable or crochetable medium.  I bet you’re just a little curious, aren’t you?  Make yourself comfortable and have a […]
