Kristy Glass Knits: Spincycle Yarns

[@mikedianestephens8010]

This was amazing! I watched it while knitting with spincycle dyed in the wool. It truly makes me understand and appreciate the price point.

[@edytheneumann4656]

Wonderful interview! I was in their Bellingham shop and bought some yarn this past year but have never met Kate and Rachel but will visit their mill someday as I live just across the border in Canada.

[@sarahmatthews2737]

If I could only have one yarn for the rest of time, I would happily knit with Spincycle yarn for the rest of time.

[@scribegirl]

I used to buy their yarn at the farmer's market. Their yarn was so gorgeous ! I always wondered what happened to them since those days. I'm so happy they're still here in Bellingham...and bought a mill!!!

[@julieellis7603]

I LOVED watching Kristy's face during the living-in-a-tree stories.

[@kristyglassknits]

HA HA HA!!!!

[@dapsign]

Thank you for this Kristy! I love the spinsters and their yarn so much. It’s nice to hear them tell their story and talk about their business with you. ❤️

[@kristyglassknits]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@mwcau]

is there a pattern for the lightblue short sleeve cardigan lol

[@marianna-gypsysoulfibers141]

Love this interview and their whole story is awesome!! 😍

[@kristyglassknits]

SO GREAT!

[@lauriekimmelstiel2976]

One of your best videos. I so enjoyed meeting the Spincycle girls. I just purchased some of their yarn and now I’m even more inspired to use it. Thank you for this very interesting and inspiring interview.

[@kristyglassknits]

THANKS Laurie!

[@mariarinehart8667]

How fun. I once lived on Camano Island. Nostalgia and there's now a mill 🙂.

[@gfixler]

Kristy knows so much geography, like a human atlas. She's never missed a beat on NY places, and now Rachel asked "Where's Traverse City?" (which I've never heard of), and Kristy said "Michigan?"

[@kristyglassknits]

LOL

[@RosemondeKnits]

Oh my goodness, Kristy!!! That was so awesome!! You were totally an adopted Spincycle sister in this episode!!! I loved it so much - and as usual - your talent for getting people to open up and share fascinating stories is just incredible. XXX

[@kristyglassknits]

HA HA HA! I don't think I have enough tattoos to be their sister!

[@dollbellieknits]

I love the look Kristy makes at the camera when Kate says that the machines in the mill are relatively simple! :-D

[@Christina4tier]

I really enjoyed this interview. These gals are very interesting, inspiring and I loved hearing their back story.

[@ellenkennedy796]

Loved this video. How gorgeous are these two women! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌸🌸🌸

[@amitybloom159]

Adored this interview and it makes me even more happy to support such a lovely indie company! They are so talented in what they do - have purchased my very first skeins from their shop and am so excited to begin my knitting journey!

[@kristyglassknits]

YEAH!

[@Matildajude]

So interesting! The gradual growth of your company is so inspirational. Love the snuggly , fluffy waistcoat.... is it your yarn? What pattern did you use?

[@kristyglassknits]

we are all wearing a combo of spincycle and magpie I think---I am pretty sure we mentioned what we are wearing in the mill tour vid

[@Matildajude]

Lovely yarn, yes you did mention that it was Andrea Rangel so I bought the book but the waistcoat wasn't in it!

[@debnew6195]

Fantastic episode, loved learning about them as they weren’t on my radar ❤️🇦🇺

[@kristyglassknits]

I am shocked! SO GLAD!

[@rnchimilar]

Very fun love the back story. Bellingham is very close to the boarder interested maybe one day to visit. 😀

[@kristyglassknits]

GO GO GO!

[@nkliewer2]

What pattern is the beautiful orange sweater?

[@julieellis7603]

Looks like a Ysolda Teague pattern to me ... Threipmuir? www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/threipmuir

[@kristyglassknits]

AH! I am sorry....go to the mill tour, I think she mentions it

[@julieellis7603]

I didn’t hear her (Kate=tall spinster with silver hair) mention it in the mill tour, but someone asked about it in the comments there, and got the same reply. The two sweaters that short spinster with dark hair (Rachel) is wearing _are_ described in that video. But I didn’t make notes; I was too gobsmacked by the machinery and processes of the mill, and the samples they included. Wow! Kristy you are absolutely right about it being difficult to imagine how spincycle yarn actually knits up. I have seen it a few times in nice LYSes, like the Knot House in Maryland, and wondered. Now these images will be fueling my imagination. But I do have a promise to myself to reduce my stash A LOT before I buy any more. Better go knit! And while I write this comment, I’m cracking up all over again at Kristy’s face during Rachel’s funky tales of being a squirrel, sitting and knitting in a tree.

[@meegan6886]

could you link to the other podcast with the Spincycle ladies that you referred to? (Not the mill tour - loved that!) but the one that someone else did?

[@kristyglassknits]

Shoot..... is it the woolful podcast? woolful.com/episode-57-rachel-price-kate-burge-oil-industry-tree-sitting-wannabe-amish-farmers-market-and-spincycle-yarns/

[@meegan6886]

kristyglassknits yep pretty sure that was it - thanks!

[@zoyamichel215]

Opposites are a good combo to work together, they don't compete against each other!! I have their two knit Andrea Mowery's shift!!!

[@kristyglassknits]

YES!

[@silviagowdy7562]

Kristy, what is the name of the cardigan you are wearing ?

[@kristyglassknits]

I am sorry I don't remember...I feel like we mentioned it in the mill tour...maybe investigate there...

[@eternodisperare]

they make me think of what Daria and Jane would be like today

[@margaretsamplerlover]

So are you knitting the Guthrie yet with that yarn and the Plucky? I don't remember seeing it on your instagram. Or am I just missing it? Fun interview!

[@kristyglassknits]

I tagged you!

[@debbiekorb]

Dear KG: Who designed the sweater you are wearing in this interview? Looks very familiar but can't seem to find it. Thanks..for another brilliant interview.xxdk

[@corinnesink4007]

I LOVE this interview! I feel like the spinsters are some of the most interesting people. Also- that one thing you can't touch when fixing a microwave? Don't touch that thing inside a disposable camera either. Ouch.

[@kristyglassknits]

Thanks for the tip!

[@KKnits]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kristyglassknits]

[@scientistpigz1960]

[@kristyglassknits]
