Join Barb and Cynthia, owners of River City Yarns in Edmonton, Alberta as they take you inside their local yarn shop for a peek at what's new in yarns, designs, tools, WIPs and FO's. This month we've included an interview with Shirl the Purl (Shirley Scott), co-author of the "Saltwater" series and a proud "come-from-away" Newfoundlander.
