Spinning for Summer Knits
Dear Spinning Circle, Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio. Dionne, Rebecca and I sat down to chat about Summer Spinning and Knitting. We wanted to clarify terms and discuss what we mean when we talk about summer knits, particularly when we're talking about blends and add-ins. Depending on where in the world you are listening to this, it might not apply at this time! But for those of us who are looking for some lighter garments, whether from warm bodies or warm temperatures, this is the episode for you! Dionne talks specifically about a bin that she created to keep track of all her fibres she wants to spin into garments for lightweight wear and Rebecca, living in the North of Canada finds she is often reaching for the same thing day-after-day. Rachel is somewhere in between the two - finding the warmth of her current environment affecting her knitwear choices and looking for ways to use her yarns in weaving. Whether you are looking to learn to spin alternative-to-wool fibres or wanting some lighter knitwear, reach out if you are struggling and need a helping hand. We are here to help!

Shearing Life w/ Aaron Goulet {Part II}
Dear Spinning Circle, Today. On WnS Radio. This is Part II of Rebecca and my conversation with sat down to chat Aaron Goulet, discussing his experience to date with learning to shear. Aaron talked a lot in our conversation about working with the animals, empathy and visiting smaller farms where the animals are treated more like pets, rather than large farming operations that we often think of when agriculture conversations come up. He discussed visiting the farmers who are learning themselves, fielding questions about their animals and coming home with gems from his shearing jobs. Because we had a longer conversation with Aaron, we broke the interview into parts - last month, we heard about how Aaron came to shearing, his initial experience and wanting to quite. This month, hear all about injury prevention, ticks and more! Full shownotes & to learn more about the podcast, check here. Find Aaron on Instragram @agoulz For Aaron in action, in Vlogmas 2025, I included some videos that Melissa, Aaron's wife, had shared with me for Hands in the Wool, episode 2, here.

Shearing Life w/ Aaron Goulet {Part I}
Dear Spinning Circle, Today. On WnS Radio. Rebecca and I sat down to chat with Aaron Goulet to discuss his experience to date with learning to shear. Aaron saw a demonstration of sheep shearing a couple of years ago, leading him to begin looking into learning the trade himself and enrolled in a shearing school in California. Following that experience, Aaron began working and gaining experience. He has since completed three more weeks of formal training, both at the school in California and in the prairie province of Saskatchewan, and continues to learn as he takes on jobs throughout British Columbia. Already in two short years, Aaron has learned a ton about the sheep, people and farms he visits. Because we had a longer conversation with Aaron, we broke the interview into parts - this month, enjoy the initial part of our conversation and next month, hear all about injury prevention, ticks and more! Full shownotes & to learn more about the podcast, check here.

Today. On Wool n’ Spinning Radio. Rebecca, Dionne and Rachel sat down to discuss how the year went. We reflected on some end-of-the-year maker questions, spending some time looking back on the year.
