    Description

    This week on the podcast I'm speaking with writer, speaker and wool advocate Clara Parkes. Clara is known for her beloved “Knitters Review” as well as for her New York Times Best Seller “Knitlandia: A Knitter Sees the World.” In our conversation, we talk about her most recent publication “Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool.” A tale of her year-long exploration traveling to farms and mills across America in order to transform a 676-pound bale of fleece into commercial yarn.
