Episode 10: Maryanne Moodie & Woolcrush – Falling into fiber arts, Natural dyeing, Dedication and Building communities

Summary: I’m very excited to share the 10th episode of the Woolful podcast. Today we get to meet two fiber folk who are such an inspiration and both in their own unique ways, <a href="http://maryannemoodie.com/" target="_blank">Maryanne Moodie</a> and <a href="http://www.woolcrush.com/" target="_blank">Amy Higgins Stambaugh</a> of Woolcrush.<br> <a href="http://www.knitterly.net/"></a><br> Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by <a href="http://knitterly.com" target="_blank">Knitterly</a>, a very special yarn shop created by Shelli Westcott, based in Petaluma California and online at <a href="http://shop.knitterly.net/" target="_blank">shop.knitterly.com</a>. I am always so amazed at the well curated selection of yarns, fibers and classes Shelli works so hard to provide all us fiber enthusiasts. Make sure to visit when in Petaluma and online at <a href="http://shop.knitterly.net/" target="_blank">shop.knitterly.com</a><br> <a href="http://woolful.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/knitterly.jpg"></a><br> Fiber folk 1: Amy is an amazing natural dyer living on her farm in Columbia, Missouri, where she recently built a beautiful natural dye studio. You can find her at <a href="http://woolcrush.com" target="_blank">woolcrush.com</a> and on Instagram <a href="http://instagram.com/woolcrush" target="_blank">@woolcrush</a>.<br> <a href="http://woolful.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ammyhigginsstambaugh.jpg"></a><br> Man on the Street: Did fiber arts run in your family or did you just happen to “fall into” your fiber art?”. We had some amazing replies from <a href="http://instagram.com/jaykay_knits/">Jennifer @jaykay_knits</a>, Beatrice <a href="http://instagram.com/threadandladle/" target="_blank">@threadandladle</a>, Carlene <a href="http://instagram.com/carlenergy">@carlenergy</a>, Emily <a href="http://instagram.com/alafrench">@alafrench</a> and Amber @<a href="http://instagram.com/dapperewe">dapperewe</a>.<br> Fiber folk 2: I first came across our next guests work awhile back via the Design Sponge blog and was immediately enamored with her use of color in her weavings, adventurous designs and excitement around building community. Maryanne didn’t come from a legacy of weavers, but she’s working hard to leave one with this beautiful fiber community.
