Well, knitting friends . . . sometimes you miss the BIG stuff when you’re looking at the details. Here is my story of woe! Plus, fiber mill talk about Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill, a Making Stories Review, and giveaways old and new! If you want to learn more about fiber processing, I’m also uploading a supplemental video answering your questions about fiber processing and mill processing! Show notes for both are below. Thanks to Dawn Brown, Anne Bosch, and all of you viewers out there 🙂 Lovely to hang with you today! ~Melissa

Hi, Melissa
I loved your story about the gorilla on the room! I agree with your feelings about it and think making a pillow out of the reversed section is a good save. I know I’ve done that kind of thing but can’t think of a good example at the moment.
I love your videos, both the regular KTS as well as your instructional videos. Thanks so much, Melissa! Great work!

I’m not clear exactly what the difference is in the two different yarns you discussed. I’d like to learn more and feel the difference by getting one or the other. 🙂
