Meet Your Local Yarn Heroes!
There are so many Fiber Heroes to celebrate across the Puget Sound Region – store owners, indie dyers, spinners, weavers and designers, to name a few. Every month we will introduce, highlight and bring you all the news from the marvelous people who make the local fiber community thrive. Enjoy!

A few months ago I was lucky enough to spend an hour or so in the company of sisters Bootie and Bossy, being interviewed for their podcast. We all share a love of cooking and crafting and if you haven’t come across their podcast yet, it is highly recommended. In this latest Woolpack Q&A you can read all about their fiber world and what to expect when you listen in to Bootie and Bossy.
