Cashmere Goat Yarn Podcast ep. 57

Happy 2026! We hope you're ringing in the new year with a fun fiber project in your hands. In this episode, Kristin and Iris fill you in on all the current happenings at The Goat in Camden, Maine. We've got some awesome new products from Twice Sheared Sheep that we'll show you later in this podcast!

Our winter knit along is just getting started — and there's still plenty of time to join! We're knitting The Cartography, a hat or sweater, by Tin Can Knits — one of our favorite design teams. During our KALs, we host online and in-person meet-ups, which are a great way to build community with other knitters. You can take a peek at the recording from our KAL kick-off on Zoom from January 7th here:    • Cartography Knit Along - Kick-Off on 1/7/25  
We hope you'll join us for the Cartography KAL! Read all about Goat Knit Alongs, and sign up, here: https://cashmeregoatyarn.com/pages/kn...

WHAT WE’RE WEARING
Kristin is wearing her Wurm hat, knit in Rios by Malabrigo (Lettuce): https://cashmeregoatyarn.com/products...
She's also wearing her Shift by Andrea Mowry, knit using lots of fingering-weight yarns (this was our 2023 March KAL). Check out the Shift KAL Slideshow here:    • The Shift KAL Showcase — Andrea Mowry's Th...  
Kristin is also wearing her well-loved and cozy Kobolt by Sarah Solomon, knit in a chunky yarn that we no longer carry.

Iris is wearing an oldie-but-goodie shawl that she knit in some stash sock yarn, fun and bright for winter, and very cozy! She made up the pattern which included a very tedious picot edge.
She's also wearing her Irish Rover Pullover by Teti Lutsak, knit in Berroco Millstone Tweed https://cashmeregoatyarn.com/products...

WHAT WE’RE MAKING
We're knitting the CARTOGRAPHY right now! And it's so much fun...

Iris’s Cartography is knit with one of her most favorite yarns in the shop, Fleece Bluefaced Leicester by West Yorkshire Spinners — and she’s on the first sleeve! https://cashmeregoatyarn.com/products...

-Kristin just started her Cartography, and we were admiring her absolutely GORGEOUS swatch knit with Rambouillet by Juniper Moon Farms, with a couple of skeins of Fleece Bluefaced Leicester as accents. https://cashmeregoatyarn.com/products...
