Episode 036: Following your Creative Curiosity with Jillian Moreno

“Spinning doesn’t have to be as complicated as some people like to make it. I don’t think that spinning is a secret club. And I don’t think there needs to be such layers of complexity to it.” — Jillian Moreno

Today on the show, we talk with Jillian Moreno about her new book — Yarnitecture, teaching, swatching and sampling in spinning, and taking the intimidation out of making your own yarn!
