Join me for our June livestream — a place where we come together to chat about the craft and colour each month. This month, there is a lot of new projects I have to share along with a number of new products and courses we’re working on for the School of SweetGeorgia. Add in make-alongs for both spinning, knitting and inkle loom weaving, and this month is filled with multicraftual making inspiration.
Included in the Taking Back Friday Live, I’ll excited to share a reveal for the Secret Stash yarn and fibre colourway for June, Lightning Rod. You can see it up close in the livestream replay here:
Thank you to everyone who tuned in for our June livestream. If you’re interested in catching up on past videos, you can find all of our past Taking Back Friday livestreams and vlog episodes at the blog.
