This interview is uniquely personal to me in that I have been wildly inspired by Jennie and all that she does since I came across her Instagram three years ago. She owns and runs Frostburg Fiber Depot, the only yarn store in Frostburg, Maryland, which itself is pretty magical. In the early days of the …

All you really need to know about Baby Cat Yarns, and the super rad dyer behind the scenes, is there is a serious lust for colour going on here. Not only will Brit whip up whatever colour strikes your fancy, (that is, if the 60 colours already in her roaster don’t do it for you), …

There is just something about the way Laura designs and photographs her socks that makes people want to stop what they’re doing and cast on a new pair. All the more inspiring is that she’s pursuing …
