A place we meet every month for a fun chat about craft and colour, join me for our February 2025 Taking Back Friday Live! At this month’s livestream, I talk about a number of colourful updates to share. Starting with our Fibre Prep February celebration and what I’ve been spinning, to the recent filming we’ve been doing for the School of SweetGeorgia. I also take some time to talk about new hand-dyed colourways including the reveal of our February Secret Stash Club yarn!
Thank you to everyone for joining us at this month’s online chat! If you’re interested in catching up on past videos, you can find all of our past livestream episodes at the blog.
