Interview - Linda Lencovic of Kettle Yarn co.
Linda tells us all about how she got into dyeing, and all sorts of other interesting things! We used Kettle Yarn Co. yarns in Waterlily and Creamsicle.
If you need more lovely yarn in your life (who doesn't?) Linda is hosting a Willy Wonka-like 'Yarn-y Golden Ticket' random draw for her first anniversary as Kettle Yarn Co. The contest will run from Sept 1st to 30th and any Kettle Yarn Co. newsletter subscribers that purchase yarn in that time period will be entered into a random draw for 5 skeins of Wimbledon in Melon Balls.
For more Kettle Yarn Co. fun, including KALs and patterns (like the lovely Brioche hat 'Lomond' shown below), you can visit Linda's Etsy shop and her blog.
Colour of the Cast - Green
So many green facts! You can find the yarns we discussed here:
Madeline Tosh in Mineral || The Uncommon Thread in Zitouni || Kettle Yarn Co. in Pom
There was debate as to whether Mineral and Pom are blue or green... what do you guys think?
Top 3... ice creams!
Listen to find out what we chose from the frozen desert counter.
And don't forget we had a super yummy ice cream recipe in our Summer issue this year - Raspberry Eton Mess Parfait! So yummy!
That's all this time folks! Thanks again for listening... and reading!
