Marina Skua – Knitting and Craft

UK yarn crafts podcast and project videos: knitting, spinning, weaving with natural fibres and local materials.

I'm a yarn and fibre dyer and knitwear designer living in the South West of England. My videos are about the yarn I dye, my current knitting and craft projects, and some seasonal making with a sustainable angle. I love nature and slow crafting. www.marinaskua.com

Got any questions for me? I’m doing a Q&A video!

Ask your questions in a comment here and I’ll try to answer them for Friday’s video. If I don’t get to them all I’ll save them up for next time (hopefully a live one at some point!).

An incredibly lovely and humbling video from my friend ‪@kattweaver‬ who has knitted one of my designs so beautifully. And some calming time in the woods, which feels much needed!
