Archaeology of Yarn
Join our intrepid fiber explorer Yarndiana Jones as we dig up the drama, trade routes, and weird facts behind yarn through the ages. History class, but with more skeins and fewer pop quizzes.
Weird Yarn Monday

About Skein and Tell
Skein and Tell is where we spill the tea (and sometimes the yarn) on all things crochet, knit, and fiber arts. From untangling the history of silk to squealing over TikTok crochet trends, we blend cozy conversations, crafty confessions, and a whole lot of squishy skein love. Every week we’ve got some favorite segments the fiber fam can’t get enough of and we cannot wait for you to discover your favourite one!
A sit down with the legendary Toni Lipsey of TLYarnCrafts for a conversation that goes way beyond pretty stitches

Toni also shares her take on AI in the fiber arts, what trends she’s loving, and the secret WIPs hiding in her project bag. It’s real talk, cozy laughs, and yarn bestie wisdom you don’t want to miss.
