Yarn! Making the world a better place with Caroline Sommerfeld

The intriguing journey of yarn production spans centuries. But what happens behind the scenes today? Join us as Caroline Sommerfeld uncovers the captivating tale of how wool and fibers traverse the globe to become the yarns we adore. This talk reveals the meticulous planning and partnership that goes into producing local and commercial yarns.
Moreover, let's explore the astounding variety of sheep breeds beyond the renowned Merino wool. Delving into heritage breeds and sustainable fibers, we unravel the rich histories and cultural significance they offer. As many of these breeds face endangerment, we, as knitters, crocheters, weavers, and more, possess the power to make a remarkable difference in the world through our craft!

This is a live Zoom Event on Sunday, October 22nd at 1:00pm Eastern, 12:00pm Central, 11:00am Mountain, 10:00am Pacific

This Fiberside Chat will be recorded - a link to the recording will be available for one week and shared with registered attendees only.

Knitted Wit HerStory -October
Dread Nation, inspired by Justina Ireland

From Larajean: 
"It's spooky season, friends, and what better books to read as the veil thins than those that have to do with zombies and ghosts? Our October HerStory recipient, Justina Ireland, does both of those genres very, very well, and we are so excited to dive into her books (and activism) this month! Justina Ireland is a Black woman who writes YA and isn't interested in backing down from a fight. Throughout her career, Ireland has been an active critic of the overwhelming whiteness in the YA publishing field, and the reticence of folks in that particular segment of the book world to engage in conversation about the lack of diversity in the field."

Knitted Wit could not be more excited about this year's foray into books and authors for their 2023 HerStory!
