Ep 26Reflections of Targhee Breed & Colour Study
This month's Wool n' Spinning Radio is a conversation between Katrina, Becca and myself about the most recent breed and colour study that we have been engaging in as a community. This study comes to an end this month - I hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have! This study was meant to push people outside of their comfort zones as much as possible. While the colours may not have appealed to you, the goal of this study was to step outside of our individual 'typical' colour palates to create something that would offer a lot of learning. Our conversation includes the inspiration for this study, sheep breeds and wool, decisions we made when starting to spin, and thoughts for the future.Here is a link to Becca's project that she spun with her gradient Targhee set she mentions in the show, as well as her Breed & Colour Study project page. And here is my project page for this study.I hope you enjoy our (slightly longer that usual) conversation!https://www.patreon.com/posts/21160811Happy Spinning!Rachel, Katrina & Becca I hope you enjoyed our conversation.

Thank you for joining me this month. I'm super excited to share this month's guest with you! Let me introduce you to my friend, Laurie, who moved from near me and now resides in the Interior of BC with sheep, goats and dogs. She is a powerhouse of information and I hope you enjoy our conversation!One word about the quality of the conversation. I try to keep the telephone or Skype quality of my conversations as high as possible but Laurie is quite isolated on her farm! We recorded the conversation over mobile phone so, while you can hear what we talk about, there is a certain fuzziness to the conversation. I hope this doesn't deter you from our chat -- she has so much to share with us!Disdero Ranch websiteDisdero Ranch Instagram accountDisdero Ranch on RavelryPlease enter below for the giveaway announced in the show!Laurie mentions in the show that they were anticipating flooding - they did indeed flood but they are all well and good.

Ep 19Candi & Mairi
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Also known as my dad's birthday! I hope you are drinking green beer somewhere and I had to celebrate by including a bonus episode of something this month ... weeeellll ....Welcome to a bonus episode of Wool n' Spinning Radio this month! I'm so pleased to be able to introduce you to more community members this month: Candi and Mairi. Mairi made an appearance on the show back in January but this time, it's just the three of us so you get to know her a little better! This is another word prompt episode and for those who aren't familiar with these, the premise is this: I grab a word from random word generator and we chat about it in relation to spinning. It's fun because you can't prepare and we can go in any direction we want! The only rule is that I can only refresh the word ONCE. But this month, we get a little off track ... and for more, listen to the last 1-2 minutes for the outtakes. What fun! Outtakes!https://www.patreon.com/posts/wool-n-spinning-17298735In the meantime, enjoy the show! I hope you enjoyed our conversation.

Ep 18Breed & Colour Studies Reflection from the Community
Welcome to this month's Wool n' Spinning Radio! Thank you for joining me! I'm really excited to share this month's episode with you because it was recorded just a couple of weeks ago after Becca and I finished all of our spinning for the study. https://www.patreon.com/posts/wool-n-spinning-17020143If you are a long time Patron subscriber, you will be familiar with how these studies happen but for those who are new, I thought I would briefly recap. In late September, Katrina and I announced our plans for this study. We really wanted to focus this round on combination spinning since both of us absolutely love combo spinning. It was timely because there’d been the craze on Instagram over combo spinning for sweater quantities of yarn, which we’d explored in the past on the show, in the community, through the blog and on Ravelry. There are several ideas behind this colour study:Exploring our comfort with colour often begins with studying the colour wheel and understanding how colour can play together in fibre, yarn and fabric,Those many braids of fibre in our stash that we’ve collected aren’t that different from one another as we begin to pull them out and line them up (after all, there are only so many colours in said colour wheel!), and finally,Combining colours, without having to spin different fibres at the same time, is a great way to be introduced to a new (or new-ish) fibre while focusing on colour!The previous Wool n' Spinning Radio episode with Felicia Lo that addressed colour management, the colour wheel and combing colours (although we got woefully off topic) is here. I hope you enjoy listening this month!As always, happy spinning,-r. I hope you enjoyed our conversation. If this is your first time tuning into Wool n’ Spinning Radio, welcome.

Ep 16Creating Colour with Felicia Lo
Welcome to Wool n’ Spinning Radio. Thank you for joining me this month! I am so excited to welcome Felicia Lo onto the show this month. She is one of my mentors, which she may not know, and the reason is because of her generosity, kindness and openness about her life, SweetGeorgia Yarns, and being a mom. Whenever we chat, we always get carried away and go off on many tangents because we have a lot in common besides fibre. We’ve transitioned to being moms at similar times in our lives and often bounce ideas, books and information off one another. Also, we both love snowboarding and running so fair warning, we chat about those things in the last 10 minutes or so of the podcast! I hope you don’t mind and I won’t be offended if you turn us off a bit early! Originally, we had hoped to chat about colour and combination spinning those braids from our stash but like I mentioned, we often get woefully off track! https://www.patreon.com/posts/wool-n-spinning-16562031I hope you enjoy our conversation this month. This is a month with a bonus episode coming to you so please watch for that in the coming weeks!Until next time,Rachel I hope you enjoyed our conversation.

Ep 15Retreat Chat
Happy New Year! I hope the holidays have been relaxing and kind to you. I have been travelling but am looking forward to settling back into a routine. There's something very comforting about the slog of the winter - we often get out of the city a few times to snowshoe and this year, we are going to try James on skis. We will see how it goes!This month's show was recorded in a cabin in the woods - there's background noise from the ocean, wood-burning stove/fireplace and our spinning wheels. I hope you enjoy the ambiance! I gave the group a one-word prompt and they ran with it. There's a lot of laughter and I hope you feel like you got to come along as well.https://www.patreon.com/posts/15637006Until next month,Happy Spinning! I hope you enjoyed our conversation.

Ep 10Tour de Fleece Recap
The time of year that we are all consumed with Tour de Fleece has come and gone ... it’s a bit sad, really that these events that unite the spinning community have to end! Seeing all the inspirational photos on Instagram will be missed – although, I have noticed there are more and more spinners out there, sharing their photos and chatting! Regardless, they have to end at some point because otherwise, there’s be no prizes to award! This week, along with our regularly scheduled Wool n’ Spinning Radio episode for all Patreon subscribers, we have a quick recap of the Tour for myself along with prizes. Congratulations to those who won – please send me your mailing addresses and I will pop those in the mail for you ASAP! Thank you again to Jennifer of Runyan Artware for contributing so many Rundel spindles to be able to give away – I really appreciate being able to showcase them and offer them as prizes to everyone!

Ep 2Getting Started!
Thank you for tuning in to the first full episode of Wool n' Spinning Radio, a monthly radio show for our Patreon subscribers of the Wool n' Spinning videocast. I truly appreciate your support and wanted to do something in the podcasting realm that would help me to explore something new. The show will be released on or around the 7th of each month. This month marks a new year and finally the end of my lack of crafting mojo, which I reflect upon later in the show. First, though, I have a chat with my dear friend Katrina, who all of you as CraftyJAKS. I hope you enjoy listening - as always if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or Katrina.

Remember to change your pledge levels if you are in WORKSHOPS or FIBRE CLUB to something else prior to the 20th of January as they will be deleted prior to the end of the month.Again, thank you for your support.
