In Episode 56 our feature interview is with the co-founders of the yarn company mYak. Many of you may have already met Paola either at yarn festivals or through interviews but the other lesser known co founder is Andrea. Andrea is a vet and works very closely with the nomadic yak herdsmens. He goes to Tibet around 5 times a year, working as a vet but still using the traditional medicine of the herdsmen. He is the expert on yak and cashmere fibre and he joins Paola in the interview to share his knowledge and experience of the animals and the nomadic lifestyle. We go to Australia to meet Britta, our guest on Knitters of the World, New Releases also features, there is a short tutorial on cabling without a cable needle, an update on our KALs and a celebrations of Andrew's finished vest!
