In this week's podcast I give a tour of the four knitting issues plus the stocking knitting issue from Weldon's Practical Needlework, Vol. 11, published in 1896, plus I nail down my plan for how to knit my 30 handspun yarns into a single piece of fabric, starting with five breeds of long wool.

The sweater I'm wearing is one I reverse engineered from a commercially knit cardigan. There is no pattern.
SHOW NOTES
WELDON'S PRACTICAL NEEDLEWORK
Volume 11 contains Series 30-33 of Weldon's Practical Knitter and Series 5 of Weldon's Practical Stocking Knitter. You can find digitized versions of these issues of Weldon's from Piecework (published by Long Thread Media)

BREED STUDY
I purchased the 30-breed sampler pack from Woolgatherings on Etsy.
etsy.com/shop/woolgatherings, but there are lots of sellers who do similar sampler packs.
