Nanne Kennedy has her feet firmly planted in the soil of midcoast Maine. Growing up on a farm near the ocean, she could smell the salt air and small local factories, and she started saving in her “future farm fund” when she was 12. Eminently practical, she looked for ways that her farm could make her a living. “I'm a New England Yankee, and self reliance is really important,” she says. “So it's always been a critical theme to me that, yes, you do the right thing, but it sure as heck has to make economic sense in a way that is good today, but good forever.” Raising sheep could offer multiple sources of income, but the available finewool sheep were poorly suited to her climate. Studying in New Zealand, she grew interested in Polwarth sheep, which combine finewool and longwool genetics. Nanne imported genetic material from New Zealand and set about establishing the breed in the United States, seeking sheep with dense, fine fleeces; long staples; excellent parasite resistance; and sound feet. After decades of careful breeding, her flock has exceeded her expectations for wool and healthy animals. To increase the value of her wool, Nanne learned to dye yarn. Once again seeking an economic and environmental solution, she developed a unique system using seawater to provide the salts and sunshine to warm the dyepaths. Seacolors Yarns are what Nanne calls bioregional, produced within 5 hours of Meadowcroft Farm. Like many farmers, Nanne works on a variety of projects at the same time. The popular Maine blankets she developed in partnership with other small textile manufacturers have hit a snag with the retirement of the napping machine used in finishing, but she partners with local knitters and crocheters to offer unique handmade sweaters. She runs a short-term farmstay and also offers educational opportunities for aspiring shepherds. She vends at farmer's markets and hosts fiber art classes. At least, that's some of what she was doing when we spoke. By the time you hear this interview, who knows what Nanne Kennedy will have dreamed up to benefit her animals, ecosystem, and regional economy?

The Liberal member for Polwarth on Victoria's south coast speaks with Flow about Labor's late claims in the state election campaign - concluding Saturday 26 November 2022 - on the Liberals' position on fracking, and discusses the Melbourne-driven coastal authority set up to control Great Ocean Road tourism and the way that has put locals offside. The local MP also responds to a petition before the Colac Otway Council to have the Colac Visitor Information Centre operate at regular hours, saying regional tourism has been underfunded after the Premier gave $15 million of taxpayer money on the final day before the caretaker period to fund Netball Australia after players offended Gina Rinehart, the principal of then-sponsor Hancock Prospecting

Jack and Eleanor Patterson started with a dozen Polwarth sheep but that's grown into a flock of over 200. It wasn't the original plan though and now the hobby has turned into a business and the flock's fleece is turned into fine yarns for the couple's own Starcrest Farm brand.

Richard Riordan is a Liberal MP representing the regional electorate of Polwarth west of Melbourne. With a multi-generational history of business in Colac, Richard turned his hand to politics in 2015 and has been a straight-shooting pollie ever since. He has some big ideas to explode growth and investment in regional Victoria but most importantly he is a breath of fresh air getting things done via ‘the bush telegraph' while other politicians talk in circles as their bureaucracies grind slowly on. ------------------------------- Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/TNfQMjoEJbQ ------------------------------- Show notes: 1:22 Victoria has been gripped by a ‘personality cult' 5:53 ‘The Labor party hates business' 9:16 Polls show Victorians don't agree with Liberals 16:00 Don't compare Australia's COVID-19 stats to England and the USA 17:30 Victoria's failed contact tracing system (and don't fear outbreaks) 23:12 We have to learn to live with COVID-19 24:14 The mood in regional Victoria 26:17 Is Dan Andrews' political star falling? 28:53 Lockdown may be over whether Dan likes it or not 29:45 Will Victoria Police stop enforcing bad laws? 32:08 Victoria's 20-year government 33:20 PAEC revelations over COVID fines and the ADF Support saga 35:26 ALP running from Industrial Manslaughter laws? 38:10 Dan Andrews does not give up 39:40 Predictions of Dan Andrews sticking firm for another week 44:17 Protests would completely fix the problem in Victoria 47:12 Labor is getting nervous 49:15 Making signs to rattle Labor MPs 51:36 Political parties operate like teams 55:25 Why become a politician? 59:40 Big ideas for Regional Victoria 1:07:40 Fast trains connecting Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepperton, Colac… 1:08:54 A message for small business in Victoria

For photos and links, please see the blog. Finished objects: Michelle finished skirting this brown and white Icelandic fleece. She cleaned and put away the drum carder. Michelle finished her online master rain gardener class. She just needs to build her rain garden. The digging has begun to get rid of the lake at the end of her driveway. The rain garden will extend along the driveway. We started the digging in the clay at the end of the driveway to drain the lake before continuing to dig. The next day most of this puddle was gone. Although Michelle dislikes sewing, she decided to make covers for her patio chair cushions after the old ones disintegrated at the seams in the wash. It would probably look better if they were fitted, but that may be beyond Michelle's abilities...or willingness to sit at the sewing machine. Michelle also made a travel case for her felting needles. She's not traveling these days, but has been wanting to make this case for a while. Now it's ready. The needle pad is glued to the lid on the bottom, so it can be easily used when open. Erica finished her first sock for herself! She is quite proud and as she is not really a matching sock type of person, she has been wearing it already. :) Spun Yarn These yarns have not yet been wet finished, in fact Erica's wet finishing bin is starting to spill over! Grafitti Interrupted Organic Polwarth split in half and spun to bobbins and plied. First Impressions this is a spin that Erica has been wanting to do for some time. The colourway is beautiful, as is the resulting yarn. It was a colorway from Bee Mice Elf, who as regular listeners will no doubt remember is no longer dyeing. Advent Calendar one more plied yarn. This was a great colourway, again no information on the fiber content, but a lovely colourway. Works in progress: Michelle has been working on some kumihimo for mask straps. Here's a sample of what she made resting across the face of the kumihimo disk. Michelle's husband modeling her mask with the kumihimo straps. Once the electronics come in, it will light up. Here's a link to the video the idea was taken from. https://youtu.be/aYAwOimNzb0 The other project that Michelle has been working on is some cross stitch. The pattern was designed by April of Crown Street Cottage. https://www.etsy.com/shop/CrownStreetCottage?ref=ss_profile She has lots of geeky patterns in her shop. This one really spoke to me. It will read "Welcome to my home. Roll initiative" Michelle dyed the fabric with RIT dye and knows exactly where it will hang in her house when finished. TJ and Erica carded some of the Icelandic fleece that Michelle so kindly sent us! This has been a really fun project for TJ and Erica to do together. TJ is honing his studio assistant skills! :) Erica is very close to having completely spun her Advent Calendar fiber. She spun up the last singles and hopes to decide what to ply them with by Episode 16. :) She talked about her process for always rewinding her singles onto storage bobbins after doing the Be Kind Rewind yarn from 51 Yarns. Erica has just recently passed the halfway mark in her 51 Yarns journey. If you are a spinner and have not yet gotten 51 Yarns, it is a great book and a fun path to travel. More about the rewinding of one of these yarns in Episode 16. As you can see her storage bobbins sometimes live on a shelf with fandom/geekdom memorabelia. :) This lovely spin has been languishing. This fiber is in the Deep Cove colourway from Sweet Georgia Yarns on the Polwarth Silk Fiber. It is 85% Polwarth and 15% Tussah Silk. The resulting singles are gorgeous!!! Erica started this spin in August 2019 and is excited to be finishing it up! Erica surprising chose to spin up some of the little remaining SW Targhee she has in her stash. This one was in the colorway Petal, it was such a gorgeous colorway she kept it even though SW Targhee is not a fiber she adores. On the bobbin you can only see the last two colors. The colorways starts with a beautiful yellow and grades into orange, then a deep red, the into these lovely purples. :) You can also see Erica's Fiber Stash page for this fiber on Weavolution. Erica finished relseying the damask cloth. She switched to the 20 epi reed that her husband got her for Christmas (thank you Halcyon Yarn for having them in stock!). She has relseyed at about 46 epi by sleying the reed 2-2-3. Erica is making good progress on TJ's sock #1. She will still have the second sock for both TJ and herself to knit once his first sock is done. This sock is knit on 2.5mm Signature Needle Arts DPNs. They will also be knit in a SW Merino, Nylon, Stellina yarn from Gynx Yarns, who alas is also no longer dying. I hope the listeners were excited to hear that Erica has restocked some stash from dyers who actually are still dyeing! :)

Dear Spinning Circle,This month, Katrina and I decided to mix things up for you and I am so pleased with the results - so much in fact, that I am excited to share this with our entire Patreon community a little bit early! Katrina and I got together to record our regular Wool n' Spinning Radio episode and I surprised her by asking if she'd be willing to 'sit under the lights' with the camera on. She is such a good sport and said, yes. If you would prefer to watch the episode, rather than listen, please head over to this post instead! And please, let us know what you think!As many of you know, we are launching our next study this month. Please stay tuned for links in a separate post for everyone. For a reflection of our previous studies, please head here to the blog. For those new to breed and colour studies, it really is an opportunity for you to push yourself outside your comfort zone. There has been an incredible diversity in participation and that was what I had hoped for when we started out with Breed & Colour Studies because everyone's wants and needs are different. Katrina and I can offer one avenue, while the remainder of the study is a series of Choose You Own Adventure-type choices: How you want to spin your fibre, manage the colour in you fibre, or what you'd like to learn from that particular study. Those are questions only you are able to answer and therein lies the interest of a study like these. I hope you enjoy listening/watching this month's episode! Let us know what you think of the alternate format!Patreon Link hereHappy Spinning,Rachel & Katrina

Clare Devine of #KnitShareLove rejoins me on the podcast this week, as we catch up with her after quite a while since her Sock Surgery days on the show. Clare is now in Australia, the country where her knitting adventure began, in a totally-unsuitable-for-knitting Broome. Now based in Brisbane, which is pretty warm, and presents its own knitting challenges. Since her last appearance on the show, which was shortly after the adult edition of her book, Sock Anatomy, was released, she's been involved of lots of exciting projects and collaborations. She's designed her first cardigan pattern, as well as working with UK dyers Joy McMillan of The Knitting Goddess and Jess James of Ginger Twist Studios. Recently, she's turned her attention to working with and raising the profile of home-grown talent in Australia. We briefly digress into the development of independent designers on Ravelry and the idea of training to be a designer. In terms of local talent, Clare recommended Circus Tonic Handmade, a former geneticist PhD turned hand dyer. She also shared a wonderful story about Tarndie, a farm around two hours west of Melbourne. She used this yarn in a project during her first stay in Oz, having been recommended it to use for a felted bag. Around seven years afterwards, she met Jools of Woollenflower, who waxed lyrical about how wonderful this yarn from Tarndie was, and how Clare must visit when she went back to Australia. After a stint working one day a week in a yarn shop in Melbourne, the owner asked if she would like to teach at an event at... you guessed it... Tarndie. Tarndie have Polwarth sheep and have been farming for many years, The yarn is spun in New Zealand. They have also been in collaboration with Great Ocean Road Woollen Mill, which is local to them, to produce a Super Bulky yarn called The Henry. This is made from a mix of Alpaca and Wool. There aren't many boutique yarn spinners - a lot of the clip is merino, which is sent to China for processing. Clare talked about a Gotland sheep farmer called Cheryl, who is based in Victoria. She has the only flock of Gotland sheep in Australia and breeds for diversity rather than conformity. As a result, her sheep have a wide arrange of colours in the fleece. Clare talked passionately about the importance of educating customers as to why local and boutique yarns can be expensive, as well as why they can make great choices. She promotes these yarns by using them in her design work, and also because it allows local knitters to access the yarns, as many people like to knit the pattern with the exact yarn. She advocated being enthusiastic about yarns and producers, as the likes of Louise Scollay has with KnitBritish, to help share these great products and knowledge with others. Clare can be found at www.knitsharelove.com or as @knitsharelove on Instagram. Full show notes and links are at www.shinybees.com/112

Welcome to the 50th episode!! 50! that's so cool!There's a fabulous giveaway this week - scroll down for details of prizes and how to enter ...NEW PATTERNS I'm chatting about three new patterns this week - use the code GODDESS and receive a 15% discount till the end of the weekend. The offer is available if you buy 1, 2 or all 3 patterns.Pearl Sweater :Pull Pearl over your jeans and voila! you've got relaxed elegance. Pearl is a pretty sweater that's going to make you feel gorgeous and feminine, whether you're curled up with a book or heading out for coffee. The A-line body and three-quarter length sleeves are flattering and easy to wear, and the simple lace panel and i-cord neck-line give a really special finish.Knitted seamlessly from the top, you'll enjoy soothing, relaxing knitting all the way to the hem. The lace is a simple, intuitive repeat perfect for knitting and chatting and is included in written and charted form. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and the sleeve caps shaped with short rowsFlindra Wrap :Blurry eyed, you slip out of bed, wrap your hands around a steaming cup of coffee and, stepping outside, raise your eyes to the east. Slowly, gently, the new day begins. Pull your shawl closer around your shoulders and hold on to the remnants of warmth from your bed. A golden glow teases the landscape and whispers of hope. This is Flindra, a celebration of the magical moment as night meets day and darkness is filled with light. Knitted from side to side, Flindra is an escape into delicious texture. You’ll relax to the rhythm of simple stitches, subtle colour play and delightful shifts in direction with easy increases and decreases. The pattern includes written and charted instructions plus links to tutorials, and is perfectly suited to experienced knitters and adventurous beginners.Hemera Hat :Hemera is the hat you’ll reach for time and time again. She’s graceful with a nod to fun and she’ll keep your head toasty on the coldest of days. Featuring all over lace and texture, Hemera is quick and postively addictive to knit. The winding stitches are quick to master and the oversized lace intuitive to follow. Add a fluffy pom pom for a splash of cute or enjoy the stunning crown detail without. Knitted from the bottom up and in the round, Hemera is perfect for experienced knitters and beginners looking for a challenge. The pattern includes written and charted instructions, plus links to tutorials that make knitting new stitches a breeze. All three patterns use a brand new DK yarn from Outlaw Yarn - Nyx.

I’m very excited to share the eighteenth episode of the Woolful podcast. Today we get to meet and hear the journey of a fascinating weaver from the Pacific Northwest, Ashli Tyre. Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Portfiber, a wonderful shop in Portland, Maine, specializing in one of a kind, hand-dyed fiber and yarn. Casey has curated an incredible collection of spinning fiber including yak, Chiri, Alpaca, Polwarth and hand-dyed blends. You can visit Portfiber in person when in Portland Maine or shop online at portfiber.com Fiber folk: I first came across Ashli’s work via Instagram awhile back when I was mesmerized by her weaving and one day my friend Kathy sent an email sharing a bit of Ashli’s special story, process and a photo she’d taken, thinking she’d be a beautiful addition to the podcast. I couldn’t agree more. Much of Ashli’s inspiration comes from a very special place, the Pacific Northwest and in particular, Mount Rainier. Her approach and dedication to process, from wool selection, to natural dyeing to spinning and weaving, is just incredible. You can find Ashli at ashlityre.wordpress.com and on Instagram @ashlidtyre.
