Amy tells us about the co-op of women in India who help produce her yarns, as well as her efforts to support women in the region. After taking a mini-tour of some of her gorgeous yarns, we put them into action by learning the slip stitch pattern used to make the Happy Trails Scarf.

We’re back in the studio with Brazilian Designer, Paula Peirera who tells us about the state of the craft in Brazil, and what it’s like to design for American publications from abroad. Then, she shows us how to knit some of the professional-looking details on her Dumela Pullover.
Our field trip takes us all the way across the globe to Central Asia where Content Producer, Karin Strom visits with shepherds in Kyrgyzstan to see how luxurious June Cashmere is produced.
