Description

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.
