We discuss substituting yarns in knitting patterns and recommend Cheryl Brunette's site as an excellent resource for understanding your own gauge using your chosen yarn in patterns, and how to use any yarn in a pattern and make it fit.
We discuss adapting natural yarn into patterns designed using superwash wool, which has the scales removed.
We have a fascinating interview with Katherine Burnett of Lady Baker's Tea, a specialty loose-leaf tea producer from here on Prince Edward Island. If you are a tea drinker, or loose-leaf tea curious, you will not want to miss this one! P.S. the temperatures for brewing discussed are in Celsius! Canada is on the metric system.
