Our crafting queues are now full of fun projects that will
brighten our homes for the holidays and beyond. In this episode of
the WeCrochet Podcast, we're talking about our holiday crafting
lists, what to do with pom-poms, and interviewing a yarnpreneur and
crocheter about her yarn vending machines.
First, Sara and Heather check in about crocheting for the
holidays and what does or does not constitute a good crochet gift
for kids or other members of the family. Find our their favorite
cold-weather yarn picks and whether they are pro pom-pom.
Next, Katelyn joins Heather to talk all about pom-poms: how to
attach a removable pom-pom to a hat, and how to use pom-poms in
your holiday decor and beyond. Pom-poms are fun and easy way to use
up yarn and add some whimsy to a project.
Heather and Sara briefly discuss Crochet Foundry, a group of
crochet designers dedicated to creating beautiful crochet garment
patterns for women of all sizes. WeCrochet now offers kits for
making the most popular Crochet Foundry designs.
Finally, Heather interviews Emani Outterbridge, an
entrepreneur who has launched her own yarn line as well as the
world's first yarn vending machines. Emani's yarn line, Needles,
offers unique colors in 8 Ply Worsted Weight 100% Acrylic yarn as
well as cotton t-shirt yarn. You won't be able to find these color
combinations anywhere else. If you're in Philadelphia, you can get
this unique yarn at one of her bright pink yarn vending machines.
Outside of Philly, you can connect with her on Instagram where she
says she "always on".
