It’s March, which can only mean one thing: it’s the Edinburgh Yarn Festival episode!
We sit down with some cups of Moomin tea kindly provided by Nele, and recount this year’s EYF experiences. If last year was all about making new friends, this year was about getting to meander the marketplace and chill out in the marquee getting to know everyone better. As ever, we had a wonderful time- thank you Jo, Mica and the EYF team for yet another brilliant festival!
