INTERVIEW WITH MAREE FROM SKEINZ & DESIGN SPUN

It's my pleasure to bring you a great interview with Maree from Design Spun & Skeinz. Maree has in marketing & product development for years and has her finger on the pulse of what's happening in the New Zealand fibre industry.

I really enjoyed our conversation & I hope you do too. We talked about "local" yarn manufacture and sustainability, some of the gorgeous yarn coming out of both Skeinz & Design Spun and what's happening in the knitting world downunder.

You can find all of Skeinz yarns here on their website and buy directly from the mill.

Design Spun also mill the yarn for:

White Gum Wool

Outlaw Yarn

Vintage Purls

Knitsch

Wooldays

Naturally - Waikiwi

As usual, my fantastic theme song is "Casting On" by Mr Roberelli
