S2E3 - Hannah Thiessen

We sat down with Hannah late this Winter to catch up. You may remember that we had a live interview with Hannah early on in the life of the podcast and we were so pleased to get to hear about all the amazing things Hannah has been up to creatively and professionally and the intersection between the two.

Laverne Benton of BzyPeach chats with us about the importance of community, her love of cellulose based yarns, how crochet is having a moment, and we geeked out about organizational tools a bit too!

Candice joins Kat & Emily to chat about the origin and evolution of The Farmer's Daughter Fibers and so much more!

Kim shares with us her adventures in resin casting, 3D printing, welding which have all kept her away from creating the project bags she is known for. It's a delightful chat and we hope you enjoy.

Bridget shares the history of her farm, how she got started, the importance of mentors, special fiber blends and products, and working with mills, starter flocks, and so much more!

We interviewed Lori Evesque from Natural Cycles Farm where we chatted about natural dyeing, the biome of a farm, raising sheep, and serendipitous circumstances that lead us down the path we are meant to follow.

Ellen shares her background in farming and how it influenced beginning Zephyr Creek Farm before sharing what led to her founding the Wool & Fiber Arts (WAFA) Facebook group at the beginning of the pandemic.

Emily and Kat had a fabulous time chatting with and hearing about the antics of Carol. From writing a novel to becoming a master spinner, Carol is a wealth of experience and knowledge. 

April Zeilinger shares her experience marrying into a family business, the importance of a social media presence, and the inner workings of the mill!

Erin Pirro (Morehouse Farms), Amy Snell (Devious Knitter), and Anne Frost (the I thought I Knew How Podcast) talk about their respective fiber ventures, how they came together with their 4th member Irene Waggoner (106 Meters from the Road). Irene was unable to make it but it felt almost like she was there because of the enthusiasm all of these women had for their colleague's work. Woolwide Adventures combines a love of travel, tradition, technique, education, art, and culture for a 2 month long virtual experience. Enjoy!!!
