WHAT IS RUSTIC YARN?

Rustic yarn has been the hottest thing to knit for the last couple of years. But what is it? What does Rustic really mean? And do you HAVE to have a basket? Let's talk all things rustic yarn and wool in this episode of my knitting podcast. Bonus: includes analysis of cultural history, from a Certified Fashion Historian!

This video covers:
-The technical properties of 'rustic yarn'
-Why it's special
-The kinds of techniques and knitting projects that it's great for
-Why is it often so expensive?
-How can you get it for cheap?
-Is it itchy?
-It is like being back in the 1970s?
-Why does everyone seem to like it so much?
