Handspun A Podcast about Handspinning, Knitting, and Yarn
A podcast all about handspinning yarn, knitting, wool processing and farm life with Kim Biegler, owner of Ewethful Fiber Farm and Mill. In this podcast I share how to tips and life inside owning a wool mill, making yarn, spinning yarn and owning a fiber flock of animals.
I own a wool mill where I process animal fibers into products for hand spinners.
I also have an online course for learning to handspin yarn on a spinning wheel from the comfort of your own hom- Let's Make Yarn! As well as courses for those in the craft wanting to learn new techniques.

This episode starts in the mill at the picker as we blend up Shetland wool and Suri alpaca. Then more picking with Shetland wool and dyed up tussah silk. Off to the carder we go with these fibers and of course a little handspinning. There is also a quick visit to the farm to see the pigs, alpaca, June the pony and the sheep.
