Have you seen the Junction Fiber Mill’s “Millcast”? Peggy and Amanda are great to listen to. They share their stories about running a mill and have on all kinds of amazing guests! Peggy is constantly making me laugh with how honest and real she is when speaking! https://youtube.com/@junctionfibermill?si=cxOA-obhaty4AtoJ

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

I haven’t, but I will now!
Thank you!

Not gonna lie there's a few times where I just put Stephen West videos on in the background for chill vibes. One time my Bluetooth on my phone connected to my car and played it and it spooked me 😂

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Sometimes while going down the street, changing lanes, I hear Stephen saying “weave in Stephen” 😹

shepherdessofbs.bsky.social•23 days ago

She hasn’t posted in a while but I ADORE Mel Makes Stuff. Also Tangles and Starlight, same thing.

so-called-panda.bsky.social•23 days ago

Did you mean stitches and starlight? That came up in my search but no tangles and starlight. (Also looks like I already subscribe)

shepherdessofbs.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes sorry, same person but they’re one on instagram and the other on YouTube and I must have just forgotten which is which

so-called-panda.bsky.social•23 days ago

Cool. (I don’t really do insta-and now even less)
Looks like we have the same good taste 😽😻

shepherdessofbs.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yeah, I don’t scroll on insta anymore either but still had it in my head!

I’ll be watching this thread for more recs - thanks for starting the convo!

so-called-panda.bsky.social•23 days ago

YouTube has really been a great escape. I listen to content (when I’m not listening to a book on Libby/hoopla) all day at work. Makes the day of making numbers number go by a lot quicker. Inspires me to keep going when things seem overwhelming right now.

so-called-panda.bsky.social•23 days ago

Been a long time sub of MMS. RUNNING over to check out Tangles and Starlight.

epicureanraccoon.bsky.social•24 days ago

Someone I've been absorbing a lot of joy and light from recently, WoolToGold. They're part of the reason I'm now interested in getting into handspinning.

epicureanraccoon.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yesterday, someone on here linked me to shearers, Right Choice Shearing. The way they speak is poetry and it's so satisfying seeing all the fleece come off.

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ooooohhhoooo!!

Thank you!

tori.dftba.social•21 days ago

I love WoolToGold! I’ve learned so much about sheep

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

I just found him too (like last week) I love his dent, defend, dispose sweater. And I loved his hot takes video. I wrote an entire book because people had “opinions” about art yarn.

epicureanraccoon.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ooh. Adding to my Storygraph WTR list.

I didn't know there were hot takes to be had until I saw their video haha

so-called-panda.bsky.social•23 days ago

Oh and I just saw I totally messed up the name of his sweater from the other day. It’s RESIST not dispose.

thegr1d.bsky.social•23 days ago

We are starting a trend using
#Bienvenidos to protest Trump!

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Hahah, right? Oh and that (above)was supposed to be deny, not dent

deedeemc.bsky.social•27 days ago

Nimble Needles on YouTube.

so-called-panda.bsky.social•27 days ago

He’s on the roster. His tutorials are top notch!

tori.dftba.social•21 days ago

I love Two Purls in a Pod and Those Twins Who Knit. Both have two people so it’s good energy and there’s always a lot for them to talk about. And Two Purls is in Australia so they’re on opposite seasons, it’s good for previewing what’s ahead

wendybird1015.bsky.social•21 days ago

My favorites are AKA Nora Knits. She's a type A knitter in the absolute best way in that she provides so much information about her projects and uploads religiously every Saturday. I also love Wool Needles Hands because she has that chatting w/ friend vibe like Breathing Yarn whom I also love

colorbombvelma.bsky.social•24 days ago

📌

noblefern.bsky.social•27 days ago

I’ve been watching Breathing Yarn a lot lately. Very much ‘chatting with your friend’ vibes

so-called-panda.bsky.social•27 days ago

Thank you!! I added them to my roster!
If you like that style for sure check out Finnish Knitting Stories. Jana makes it seem like I’m in the room.

noblefern.bsky.social•27 days ago

Awesome! I’ll definitely check them out.
Another one I just got into is Wool Needles Hands - great educational podcast style videos, and the background of all her videos are all delightfully maximalist and cozy

Yarn and geekiness FTW

I ran out of characters! XD but thank you for the sub!

so-called-panda.bsky.social•26 days ago

Art = joy = survival

so-called-panda.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thank you!!!!
I think I will love these. All bonus points awarded!

revmimi.bsky.social•21 days ago

You Tube: Clo Knits; Maker Mark; Mostly Knitting

onlinejournal.bsky.social•25 days ago

Kait Biez does a lot of cool fiber arts and lifestyle videos!

so-called-panda.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you! Got her added!

so-called-panda.bsky.social•2 days ago

File under craftivism

so-called-panda.bsky.social•27 days ago

Bonus points if you can say a few words about what is is you like about them.
I’m also wide open for general suggestions (non knitting/fiber arts) related.

Help me find joy in this hellscape.

so-called-panda.bsky.social•26 days ago

ne of my favorite YT maker creators is now known as LizFoolery. She’s a metalsmith and fiber artist. Her energy/some of the projects she takes on are reminiscent of Jenna Marbles but she has her own magical special sauce. 💅
She’s on a wee break right now, but will be back with a sewing adventure

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

🧶 One of my favorite fiber chaos goblins, Mijn Wolden has a new video up today!
#fiberarts #handspun #handspunyarn

strauwaldfiberwork.bsky.social•23 days ago

I love her too! Jente is awesome 😁

so-called-panda.bsky.social•23 days ago

She tickles the part of my brain where the colors are sounds.

so-called-panda.bsky.social•21 days ago

New episode of The Fat Squirrel today.
Wise words”SHINE SO BRIGHT YOU BURN THEIR FUCKING EYES” (emphasis mine) 🧶

so-called-panda.bsky.social•21 days ago

🧶 After a bit of hiatus The Black Sheep Knitter has a new episode up today! These creators are helping me take a deep breath & keeping me off the doomscrolling hamster wheel. I’m still trying to find the balance.Being informed yet not totally overwhelmed. It’s tenuous
#knitsky #fiberarts #knitting

mserenity.bsky.social•23 days ago

Chemknits and Frost Yarn for learning to dye wool and fiber, Camaj Fiber Art for the whole sheep to spun process, atomic fibre studio for gorgeous rainbow and colourful batts & fiber.

mserenity.bsky.social•23 days ago

Oh, and Hunter Hammersen on Patron for tiny nonsense and other amazing knits. Lots more on Instagram still but that platform is getting more difficult to use.

nnnova.bsky.social•24 days ago

My favs are Engineering Knits, Retro Claude and Jillian Eve!

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Looks like I already follow Engineering Knits 😹
Just added Retro Claude
Thank you!!!

nnnova.bsky.social•24 days ago

Also Roxanne Richardson, naturally 😊

so-called-panda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Love Jillian and Roxanne is Queen!
I will check the others out!
Thank you!

kieraoona.bsky.social•27 days ago

I have a video for you!

https://youtu.be/V04P_7uHmNU

so-called-panda.bsky.social•27 days ago

Instant subscribe! 😻😽

kieraoona.bsky.social•27 days ago

thank you! I mainly do sewing, but I do yarn stuff from time to time, or its a combination of yarn, sewing, and hat making

so-called-panda.bsky.social•27 days ago

It ticks all of my boxes 😻 I really do appreciate the fact that you took the time to make playlists too!

kieraoona.bsky.social•27 days ago

I often wonder to myself if I have too many playlists, but I know some people look for certain content, so I try to make it as accessible as possible

so-called-panda.bsky.social•27 days ago

I ‘watch’ a lot of content at work, so for example if I could binge all of Max Miller’s wartime recipes one afternoon without having having to hunt and peck (and not look like I’m just playing on my phone) it’s an instant win!

arienh.bsky.social•23 days ago

If you like Emtothethird, I recommend Amy Beth at The Fat Squirrel Speaks for multicraftual shenanigans with a lot of chaos/thoughtfulness/fat positivity.

so-called-panda.bsky.social•23 days ago

I love Amy Beth/The Fat Squirrel. It was after watching her video where she mentioned Kris Atomic, that prompted me to make this post. Because there has to be an infinite number of YouTubers out there that I’d enjoy, right?
