The Yarniacs Podcast

What is it all about?
Gayle and Sharlene have been talking about knitting for over a decade! Their warmth and friendship is as strong as their love of knitting.

What makes it unique?
This is the only podcast on the list that is still audio only. And while we love hearing the topics they explore in each episode, their Pattern Stalking section is our favorite for finding new projects to work on.

What is it all about?
Andrea Mowry is a talented and quite popular knitwear designer. In this podcast she answers questions from her audience about knitting, spinning, and anything else that comes up.

Grocery Girls Knit

What is it all about?
Tracie and Jodie are two Canadian sisters who love to chat about all things yarn and knitting (and who knows what else)!

What makes it unique?
There’s a reason why many radio shows have two co-hosts. There’s just something about listening to two people tell stories and laugh together. These two bring that chemistry to the yarn world.
