Yarn Library is where the fiber world comes to chat. Hosted by knitting influencer Adam Cleevely of CleevelyKnits and PhD researcher Georgia Denham of Tulipurl, it’s a warm, witty conversation between friends about all things knitting, crochet, and craft culture.Each episode explores one topic (more or less) — from yarn snobbery and gender roles in knitting to gift disasters, festival gossip, and the mysteries of the ever-growing yarn library (or stash as it's otherwise known). It’s thoughtful without being serious, funny without being flippant, and welcoming whether you’ve been knitting for decades or just picked up your first hook.Grab a cuppa, pull up a project, and join the conversation
