Summary: I’m very excited to share the fifth episode of the Woolful podcast. Today we get to meet two amazing and talented women, <a href="http://juliehoover.com" target="_blank">Julie Hoover</a> and <a href="http://deedeemorris.com" target="_blank">Deedee Morris</a>.<br> <br> <a href="http://fancytigercrafts.com"></a><br> <br> Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://www.fancytigercrafts.com" target="_blank">Fancy Tiger Crafts</a>, a beautiful yarn shop based out of Denver, Colorado, who recently launched their online shop, <a href="https://www.fancytigercrafts.com" target="_blank">fancytigercrafts.com</a>. They have an amazing selection of fabrics and yarns, including their own <a href="https://www.fancytigercrafts.com/yarn/fancy-tiger-crafts/heirloom-romney" target="_blank">Heirloom Romney Yarn</a>, which is grown, milled and dyed here in the US.

You can find her at <a href="http://deedeemorris.com" target="_blank">deedeemorris.com</a> and on Instagram <a href="http://instagram.com/diemorr" target="_blank">@diemorr</a>.<br> <a href="http://woolful.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/deedeemorris.jpg"></a><br> Man on the street: For this week’s “Man on the Street” I asked a handful of fiber enthusiasts to answer the following question, “How has your fiber community inspired you?” We had some amazing replies from Andrea (<a href="http://instagram.com/dreareneeknits/" target="_blank">@dreareneeknits</a>), Barbara (<a href="http://instagram.com/stixandstring/" target="_blank">@stixandstring</a>) and Beatrice (<a href="http://instagram.com/threadandladle/" target="_blank">@threadandladle</a>).<br> Fiber folk 2: I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know our next guest over the past few months as she shared her humble fiber journey, and it really struck a chord with me, as I know it will for many of you. You might be most familiar with Julie Hoover as a designer for <a href="http://brooklyntweed.com" target="_blank">Brooklyn Tweed</a>, but more than that, she’s spent her lifetime making her way as a creative, while raising three boys and most recently, building her dream home in Ann Arbor.
