The Yarn Thing Podcast with Marly Bird
The Yarn Thing Podcast with Marly Bird (sometimes called Yarnthing) is dedicated to connecting knitters and crocheters together. I interview guests in the industry and sometime just do a show about my own life experiences in this bi-crafty world. Oh ya, I also laugh…A LOT!
Listen Live or Watch the Behind the Scenes of the podcast on the Marly Bird Facebook Page.
