About This Podcast
Yarn Library is where the craft world comes to chat. Hosted by knitting influencer Adam Cleevely of CleevelyKnits and Cambridge PhD student Georgia Denham of Tulipurl, it’s a warm, witty conversation between friends about all things craft culture.
Each episode explores one topic (more or less, tangents permitting). It’s thoughtful without being serious, funny without being flippant, and welcoming whatever your craft! Grab a cuppa, pull up a project, and join the conversation!
