Welcome to Episode 9 of The Loveliest Podcast.
Lots of chat about Wonderwool 2019, Banshee Yarns, what’s on my needles, my Wonderwool yarn haul, a discussion of pricing and privilege in the knitting community and then two and a half minutes of lovely Wonderwool clips.
To go straight to the Wonderwool bits, go to 53:24!
What I’m knitting:
Winwick Mum Socks & a garter stitch pattern

Correction: West Yorkshire Spinners Colourlab – when I said ‘wool mix’ I was referring to a mix of different fleece types rather than it being mixed with other fibres. It is 100% British wool.

Pricing & Privilege
Best to watch to see what I say about this but in short I am committed to looking for yarn and patterns for the business in more places than I do at the moment to ensure I don’t just have a blinkered view of what I find.
Also my economics lesson on price elasticity is definitely not as accurate as it should be! For more information I definitely recommend looking for an actual economist!
As I listened to this again, particularly where I talk about privilege, it might appear that I was talking about material things only. That was not how I intended it to come across as ‘things’ in my mind represent the job you have, the education you receive etc as well as a home etc.

OH AND REALLY IMPORTANT – the camper is left hand drive – I am not filming while driving : )
Oh and £10.50 by two is definitely not £22 …
