Episode 2: You might be a Yarn Snob if...

Hi!
Welcome back to the Crafty Woman Podcast, or if this is your first time listening, just plain welcome!
This week we are taking a look at a world with an emphasis on luxury, is there such a thing as too luxurious, and in a city where affordable yarns are the rareity, is there any room anymore for acrylic? Ask yourself if you are a yarn snob; the answer may surpise and delight you.
On my needles: Cookie's Monkey Socks from Knitty winter 2006 in Cherry Tree Hill - Gypsy Rose, which I got from the Loopy Ewe
We will talk about some Koigu Cashmere and String, the yarnstore behind Luxury Knitting
We will look through Knits from a Painter's Palate by Maie Landra, the woman behind Koigu.
And then the Yarn Pr0n:
Have a look at the Citrus colorway from Fearless Fibers, the handdyed laceweight and Mohair Boucle from the Laughing Rat, the homegrown angora fibers from the little bunny herd at Wooly Wonka Fibers, and the tabby calico colorways from Spindle Cat Studios.
Once again, the music comes from the podsafe music network music.podshow.com
Rob Coslow - LA Passing By
Cassandra Kubinski - Lime Green Taxi
Brothers in Stereo - Your Voice
That's all I have for this week... Until next week, happy knitting!
