Angora Podcast Dec 01, 2007

Join me in my barn today, and learn how to harvest the wonderful fiber angora from a rabbit. And there's a few rabbits in the music hat too!

Musical interludes in the barn are from:

Dancing in November by Monika Herzig

For our music break, we pulled these rabbits out of the hat:

Run Rabbit/The Chase by Brain Buckit

Bunny Boiler Pablo Eskimo

And we close with some country bluegrass from the Smithsonian Archives:

Rabbit in a Log by The Stanley Brothers

And as always a thank you for my spinning wheel theme song by Clare Dowling.

Next month's podcasts will both be mostly music podcasts, set up for your listening whether you find time to spin, or knit on those have to be done by Christmas socks. Talk to you then!

Big Scary Five Pitch Combs and Halloween music, Oh MY!

Join me on my front porch and listen to my detailed explaination of how I use base held large combs for making top from Shetland wool. Then enjoy some Halloween music from the Podsafe music network, while either trying your own combing, or just enjoying the music.

A few pictures of the combing process have been posted on my Oct 27th entry of my blog.

YST Episode Beta 1.0 Oct 09, 2007

Show notes

Welcome to the first podcast for Yarnspinners Tales. This is a beta test of everything involved to put together a podcast, and I go into some of the details, plus talk a little about the format for future podcasts. And in between all that, there is some music that I have enjoyed and hope you will too. Just try and make it through the day without rehumming the Refrigerator Blues!

The next and official first episode of Yarnspinners Tales will be about combing fiber with large pitch combs. So grab your combs and fiber and join me.

All music in this podcast is from the Podsafe Music Network. If you liked what you heard, go to the website and support the musicians. Their spouses will thank you!

Special thanks to Clare Dowling for her song Spinning Wheel, my intro theme song.
