Have you ever been to a fibre festival? If you have, you already know the magic. The craft. The people. The feeling of belonging. Whether you come for the shopping, the learning, or simply the atmosphere, there is something truly special about these gatherings.
New at the SweetGeorgia Blog, we're sharing some of the things we love most, and why you might want to seek one out, at our Why We Love Fibre Festivals post!
Also, SweetGeorgia will be back at Knit City Vancouver this coming weekend, hosting a big booth of hand-dyed yarns plus demos of knitting, spinning, weaving, fibre prep, and machine knitting. We’ll also be celebrating our 20-year anniversary of SweetGeorgia with special birthday goodie bag giveaways and more!

Let’s be honest, making i-cord by hand can be slow and inconsistent. The traditional way of knitting i-cord involves casting on a few
stitches onto two double-pointed needles and then knitting those stitches over and over, without turning your work. However, Caydo reached out to Felicia to try out their brand new offering — the Caydo Electric i-Cord Knitting Machine i1 Pro. They have previously created i-cord makers, including hand crank tools, but this new one is amazing. Watch Felicia's video review plus don't miss the special discount code.
