This week's podcast is sponsored in part by New Hampshire Knitting Mama at www.nhknittingmama.com. NH Knitting Mama carries hand-dyed yarns, patterns, and accessories for the fiber artist.  Be sure to check out the new line of repeatable colorways!  You pick the base and quantity, and your yarn is dyed to order so it is all the same dye lot.  There are new colorways added all the time.

 UrbanGypZ Artisan Yarns has hand spun and hand dyed artisan yarns and fibers. Find them at urbangypz.com. And if you are going to SAFF find UrbanGypZ in the barn near the show fleece , booth #18. Come by and see the new base fibers and luxe yarns premiering.
