Sue Blacker is our interview guest on Episode 43 of the Fruity Knitting Podcast. Sue is owner of Blacker Yarns but also of The Natural Fibre Company, a small specialist spinning mill in the UK. By working closely with sheep farmers, Sue has gained a lot of knowledge and experience of different breeds, and Blacker Yarns has developed a name for producing breed-specific yarns. In the interview Sue tells us about the qualities of different yarns and how we select the best yarns for our projects.

Our guest on Knitters of the World is Jamie from Alabama, who goes by the name Knitosophy in the knitting world. New Releases features a little lace from Anna Dalvi, originally from Sweden but now at home in Ottawa. Our tutorial covers finishing your steeks, and we see the winning projects from the Fruity Brioche Kal. And we have some footage of a Yarn Art project from Western Australia.
