We want to thank everyone for watching and we would love it if you would hit the Subscribe button, share our podcast with knitting friends, or give us a thumbs up, so we can grow our community! We adore all your comments, keep them coming! See you in two weeks!
Oh my goodness - thanks for the shout-out! And for your very kind and lovely comments. I've been enjoying your podcasts because, like you, life can be pretty isolated in the winter and your enthusiasm for your farm, your wool and your WIPs is contagious.
Yes, we love all the interaction! Let's enjoy the quiet time before summer happens again! ;-)
I am enjoying your videos and look forward to each one. Will be doing the fibre trail this summer.
Doris-Ann Savoie great news! We will see you then!
Enjoyed your podcast. Happy New Year to you both. Only 53 days till spring!
Hello Ladies! I found you through the Wet Coast Wools Podcast. I am binge watching from Episode 1 forward. I am from Dartmouth but living in Calgary. Didn't realize that Stash stocks your product. I will run over there for a peek and hope to visit your PEI location on my next trip home. Thanks for being YOU! 👧😊
Gail Weeks that’s great! So glad you found us and good luck at Stash, tell them we said “hi!”
Hello from California! I raise Shetland and my sheep are always so clean after a good rain and breeze. Definitely not clean like yours with hay feed year round. Would personally love to see longer (time) or more zoomed in close ups of what your showing- yarn, wips, fos, the brooch your mom made bc they're awesome! With the knit podcasts I get in the knitting groove and look up at the screen too late and miss the picture. I would have enjoyed the watching the skirting bit a tad longer bc watching it is meditative. I'm glad to have found another great podcast in addition to Fruitty Knitting!

I managed to catch your first video shortly after you put it up and subscribed right away. Nice to know Stash stocks your product, I will be checking out your yarn soon! It’s great to see Canadian content.

Suzanne the Dreamer thank you! It’s always nice to hear from you! (Another early adopter! 🥰)
I stumbled across your vlog by way of Fruity Knitting...I love what you’re doing! You’re incredibly brave in all that you’ve taken on! What a wonderful idea to have your vet come on - wonderful to see a woman with a large animal practice. All in all, so impressed and grateful to have found you! Good grief - I’m “fan-girling” ;) Best regards from Ottawa!
Ceilidh Snider thank you!! We are glad you found us. Kim is an amazing vet and friend. Lots of women in agriculture these days, it’s wonderful!
Hello, from Oklahoma! I'm enjoying your videos so much! Your projects and yarn are beautiful.
Cheryl thank you! You might be our first Oklahoma person!!! Welcome! We are so glad you are enjoying the podcast!
I found your podcast today and love it ! I binge watched all of your episodes. Your yarn and knittied projects are beautiful. Can’t wait for the next podcast!
Sandra Rogers thank you so much! New one comes out this Friday! 😃
I’m having so much fun going back n watching you two! Plus I run round socially distancing knitting n spinning w my knitting guild ppl n tell em all about Fleece n Harmony lol make em squish my Caledonia Camel I bought several months back!
Oh good call on the camel! Thank you!
I was so pleased to see your products in Toronto (Purple Purl) when visiting!!
I have knit with your lace weight and very pleased with how it knit up for hats of all things. So glad to see more colors to choose from. I am seeing a visit your way soon.
K Wayne so helpful for you to let us know (although I know you did tell us that already, last time you were in)!! See you soon!
So happy to subscribe to your channel. Loved this video, especially theWelcome to Our World segment. Saw you on multiple episodes of Fruity Knitting. I love what you do and I really appreciate your sharing your life and love.
Ada Lai thank you so much! We are having lots of fun doing it, even though it was hard to get used to at first! ❤️
So happy to have found your podcast ladies, your shawls are beautiful, it looks as though I need to stop buying as much superwash in the future and invest in your yarn, it looks so divine xx caz
The Wee Sew n Sew Knitting Podcast I think someone saying they might want to try more natural wool because of our podcast is pretty much the best compliment we can possibly get. We are so passionate about this “sheep thing”. We are out in the barn at all hours of the night for part of the year, (and work very long days all year long) so we must be! Comments like yours keep us going. Sheep and wool, just as they are, are pure magic. 😘
Happy New Year! You both are such a hoot 😂 Wow you totally made my day! Thank you!!!
I thoroughly enjoy your podcast!Your projects are absolutely gorgeous!
I also enjoyed the skirting process and I have a new appreciation in the many steps it takes to produce a skein of yarn.
I am drooling over the new Eldon collection. The colour-way Vineyard in your shawl shows great stitch definition and colour saturation 😱😍. I look forward to the next podcast.
Tangled_ Yarney there are so many steps! We are excited to share the rest with everyone. We hope you like the stitch markers!
Happy New Year to you too! Thanks for another great podcast! I really enjoy seeing your projects and learning about your farm.
Jennifer McGrath thank you!!!
I’m from Oklahoma and just love your videos... love your work!
Jeni yay for Oklahoma! Thanks for joining us!! 💜
just found you! you guys are great, really enjoy your pod cast! thanks for putting yourselves out there, a true pleasure. now i need to join you on ravelry and knit waiting for rain!!!!
Kari James we are glad you found us too!! Waiting for Rain is so wonderful, I would knit it again! All of Sylvia’s shawls are a delight! Fox Wedding is another I have done that I love.
Hello from Sask! So happy I found your Podcast, will be checking out your yarns, looking forward to more from you in the future, would love to get to the Maritimes one day.
Kathy Thanks for writing, we are so happy you found us! we are having lots of fun with the podcast and are thrilled to get to meet so many people as a result!
Simone does beautiful work. I have asked her in the past where she got the pattern for such and such and she tells me "just made it up from my head"! She absolutely amazes me with here patterns! But then I ten to be biased! lol!
Lovely podcast. My husband is even interested in your segments on how the wool is "made"! Love the finished Hearth shawl and I'm intrigued by how you plan to wear it with the button. Hope you'll show us the final finished object. I wear cloth/pashmina style shawls all the time but I'm thinking this one would be too heavy for my normal indoor wear. Have to think on it some more. Thank you for all your efforts to source Canadian and sustainable.
We will DEFINITELY show it with the button, it's actually already on there, so we will bring it next recording day! That's so great that husbands are watching, that's the gold standard for a knitting podcast if you ask us!!!! :-)
Found your podcast. Going back in time and a bit of binge watching 💜💜
Sweet! We love that!
I had no idea that was how the RUclips algorithm works. I am so glad they sent me your podcast. I would love to visit you guys one day. I am from Australia and my uncle had a sheep station - I used to go out there to work for them on my holidays. I wouldn't do it now I am vegan, but I would pay for a working holiday on your farm. Is it correct to assume you don't eat your animals?
❤️
I hear you about shawls!
:-)
So happy to see a new episode and all of your lovely projects! Have you said in another episode (perhaps I missed it) how many sheep are in your flock? And are they all Corriedale? It's getting so hard to find new Corriedale bloodlines, I'm always curious ;)
Thank you for putting your yarn and wool and knitting out into the fiber world!
My Wool Mitten hello! We have a few registered Corriedales but mostly Corriedale crosses! It IS hard to find new lines and truthfully, our first ram didn’t really have the fibre quality we were looking for, so we have been crossing them. However, some new Corries have moved to Nova Scotia recently, so we are looking into some different genetics. We keep about 60 spoiled sheep here on our property! 💜
Delightful!
Linda Stewart thank you so much!
Hello, enjoying your podcasts. There are so many podcasts out there so but I find I am limiting myself to ones where I learn something such as a technique,a product or in your case , wool production. I have a question about your waiting for rain shawl, are you holding two strands together or alternating them?
Susan Burke what good comments! There ARE a lot of podcasts and we are trying to be very cognizant of adding value! Fruity Knitting is our favourite for that reason as well! Good question about the two balls! I am just alternating. I’ve gotten burned not doing that with hand dyes too many times, sometimes you get away with it...but sometimes you don’t and then you are very far along when discovering that! So now I just follow the best practice!
Thanks for a “local” knitting podcast (I’m in Quebec). I was wondering, out of curiosity, if the mohair you source from Ontario was “Les Belles Bouclettes”? I can’t wait to see your lovely yarns in N.B or Quebec! Good day! & happy 🧶 !
Brigitte Boisvert that’s not where we got it, but good to know another potential spot to get more! Thanks so much for watching!!! ❤️
