What is Fiber Beat? ~~
Fiber Beat is not your regular knitting podcast. In fact, it covers a range of crafts using the fiber medium, such as spinning, weaving, felting, dyeing, shepherding, & crocheting. You can expect interviews with designers, authors, farmers, & businesses. WonderMike, editor-in-chief and intrepid reporter presents instructional video podcasts as well as product reviews. If you have a story, you'd like to share, give WonderMike a shout on Ravelry or leave a comment in the show notes!


Sponsoring Fiber Beat ~~
Fiber Beat is now accepting sponsorship. If you'd like to underwrite the show, please contact WonderMike who can give you rates and options.


Production Assistance ~~
Fiber Beat is a labor of journalistic love that requires considerable preparation, both before and after the actual interview. We use various audio/computer equipment to record, edit and publish each episode of the show. Your donations make this work possible. Thank you very much!!!

Fiber Beat Video Supplement 5, "Art for Yarn's Sake" from WonderMike on Vimeo.

There's a million crafters in Fiber City and we've all got a yarn to spin.

Fiber Beat Video Supplement #5

In this Fiber Beat Video Supplement #5, Jacey Boggs, (blogger, podcaster, spinner & teacher who works under the name Insubordiknit) shares with me some of her crazy beautiful art yarns. She also gives us a quick demonstration of a cool technique called "Coils".


Don't forget about: Fiber Beat CONTEST for Episode No. 7

I have a signed copy of Jacey's instructional dvd "Sit & Spin" for this episode's contest. All you need to do is tell us the story of when you were first challenged by a new art form (can be any discipline, such as music, film, literature, painting, etc.).

To enter, please leave your comment on fiberbeat.com or on the Fiber Beat Ravelry forum. One winner will be randomly selected from all the entries. DEADLINE FOR ENTERING IS April 30, 2010.


A HUMONGOUS thank you to everyone who downloaded and listened to the first twelve episodes (audio/video) of Fiber Beat. Let me know what you think and leave a review on iTunes!

We used snippets of the songs below in this episode:

  • "Art Yarns housey theme" performed by Anthony Bonet exclusive to Fiber Beat (2010)

My name is WonderMike and I'll see YOU on the Fiber Beat.

  • This podcast was fascinating. I\'m a knitter and have yet to try spinning. I had no idea what\'s involved in making all those gorgeous yarns. Thank you for a very interesting and educational podcast. All the best.
