Cashmere Goat Yarn Podcast ep. 30
Wowza! It’s episode 30 of the podcast with Kristin and Iris from Cashmere Goat! We're glad you're here with us — and today, for a special treat, we're on location today at Merryspring Nature Center in Camden, Maine. Merryspring is a beautiful little spot and especially gorgeous on this first day of October. Nobody was there but us!
Our anniversary party was so special last weekend, and we're so happy we saw so many of you! We were knitting and crocheting and spinning outside, we had some special treats, and we generally just really felt the love from you for this special store and community that Kristin's created at The Goat. We also had some great raffle prizes this year and the lucky winners have been notified!

You'll gain knowledge about the color wheel as we explore practical applications with yarn combinations. Right now this is just offered in person, but an online version might be in the works!
