Edinburgh Yarn Festival - Fruity Knitting Podcast

We were delighted to exhibit at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival from the 15th - 17th March at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange. This was our third time attending the event, which sees thousands of yarn enthusiasts gather in Edinburgh.

"The Edinburgh Yarn Festival is the creation of Jo and Mica, two passionate knitters who organised the first Festival in 2013 in response to their own need, and have since taken the event from strength to strength. The Festival is now held in the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, a beautiful building which now serves as a venue for concerts, conferences and other events."

Head over to YouTube to watch Episode 50 of the Fruity Knitting Podcast, which includes "short interviews with a colourful selection of 12 vendors from the Edinburgh Yarn Festival, covering designers, yarn producers, dyers and suppliers of tools and accessories for the knitter."

Skip to 48:05 to hear Toby, our Spinning and Carding Engineer, talking about the Woolmill and our range of knitting yarn!
