S2E11: Socks

Got a sock yarn habit? We're feeding it. This episode is a full deep dive into everything sock spinning, whether you're just starting out, trying to level up, or already happy with your socks and hunting for a few new tricks. Over two hours packed with expertise from Amy Ross Manko, Laura Linneman, Amelia Garripoli, Michael Kelson, and Jacey. Amy opens things up with a breed breakdown on which sheep actually make the best sock yarn and why. Laura takes over with color planning for socks, and Amelia gets into blends that'll keep your toes happy stitch after stitch, wear after wear. From there it's all technique: wheel setup for sock spinning, spindle spinning for socks, and real talk about plying methods, including whether chain plying earns its place in your sock queue. Then Jacey and Laura team up for a full make-a-yarn segment: Jacey blends and combs the fiber, Laura takes it home with spinning and plying. And if you're not ready to log off yet, stick around for a teacher tea where Jacey and Laura settle in for a good chat about fiber, community, and life. Two hours. Five teachers. All socks. Don't miss it.
