Great episode! Thank you for all the expertise you are sharing with all of us, really love the energy you put out in this world 🙏🥰. That Goldwing pullover looks beautiful on you! Love the colors 😍, would you mind sharing the yarn and the colors??

[@RachelSmith]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that about Goldwing -- so it was knit by a friend and she dyed the yarn. It's a one of a kind!! :)

Us fine art painters are all about the split primaries-cyan blue magenta red cool yellow warm yellow (and white, depending on the medium).

Good to know! Thanks!

Most house insects don't like bay leaves. I leave a few in the cupboards as we have had moths weevils and flour mites. Touch wood we have not had any for a year 😊😊😊

[@RachelSmith]

Oh! Thanks for this tip! I have tons of bay leaves for cooking!

Don't be too jealous of our summer!! Lol. Here in South Australia we are having a week's worth of 38c during the day, and in the 20's at night, so no relief In the eastern states there are high floods, and alot of houses gone, and deaths

OoOH -- I'm sorry to hear that! Sounds like everyone is having rough weather! Stay cool, Natalie!!

I’m looking into getting a beautiful support spindle, but not sure where to get one. Any ideas? They are just gorgeous!

[@RachelSmith]

I'm glad you're getting into supported spindling! There are beautiful ones on Etsy, like Yarn Spindles, and you can look at shop updates like Woodland Handcrafts or Mirkwood Spindles. The Spindle Shop is another great resource.

Is it possible that they are micro wasps and not moths at all? Micro wasps eat other bad bugs and they are extremely tiny.

[@RachelSmith]

Hmmm good thought! I don't think so ... the white casings, while small, don't look wasp-like ... I found a little moth the other day (FINALLY!) and I think they are pantry moths ... ugh
