Gea is always entertaining and has the most interesting topics. I love how she speaks to the listener like we are long time friends. ❤️

Mbizelli · May 2025

I’m really loving Skein and Tell! Gea’s passion for yarn totally shines through, and I’ve learned so much—from alpacas to the archaeology of fiber arts (and yes, even crochet crime!). The Icelandic wool episode with a guest was such a great conversation—I didn’t want it to end! Only 8 episodes so far, but I’m already wishing for more. This podcast is such a cozy, nerdy joy!

Knitten9 · Apr 2025

I enjoy Hobbii everything and I enjoy the information in the podcast I just attempted to listen to. However, it’s a bit over dramatic and I would appreciate less "singing" and more regular talking. The information gets lost in all the forced humor. I like humor but not every 2 seconds. I’d really like to listen to the entire podcast but it was just too annoying. It could be really interesting. You don’t have to sell it so hard.

Beaded Lady · Jul 2025

Thanks so much to Gea and Hobbii for this charming and hilarious podcast. Skein and Tell has become one of my favorite podcasts!
